Your best path is to work through the rock courses in order to learn those techniques & ideas.

After learning those core skills, then you can start to learn simple lead, solo, melody ideas from other tutorials & from songs!

So, the instructor teaches the song they way it was played by the artists.

The song you linked is a rearrangement. The guitarist is playing what was the vocal melody in the original song. So you could do the same thing with other songs. But GT songs are taught in the original version of the song (or the most popular cover, but still with vocals).

1. All songs are rhythm

Yes, in most of the song lessons we teach what the guitar player plays. Not the melody that the singer sings. Which seems like what you are after.

2. These are quite old and classic songs. There is no new latest hit songs. Perhaps copyright issues.

[p]Yes, every song we teach has to be approved by the artist or their publisher. We can't teach any song unless we have explicitly contracted permission. In the case of some newer songs, the newer & more popular it is the harder it is!

Hope this helps! Please ask more if necessary! Best of success with your guitar learning. :)
