Ah, I see that Wayne is pressing the "R" key to rotate that bone. Still can't automatically select the Vertex Group.
Thanks,

I just found the answer to my question regarding selecting Vertex Groups and Bones in Weight Painting mode. It was explained in Chapter 3, Lesson 7. I had to select the armature then the mesh.

Hmm, I still don't get how he is able to switch selection from the Ear.L to the Head and to Ear.R at 10.58 while having the blur tool active? If I change tool to one of the selection tools it works. Maybe it is changed in Blender 4.2.2?
Two things:
1. Assuming you are using default left click select, Are you using alt+left mouse click to select the bones while in weight paint mode?
2. Did you select armature, then shift select the mesh before you entered into weight paint mode?
Aaah, thank you!! I didn't hold down Alt, that was the problem!
(The instructor holding down the Alt key wasn't showing in the video, even though it seem's like he has screen keys enabled).
That's because he uses right click select instead of Left click select. He talks about this in chapter 1 user preferences video.
Thank you! I forgot that. Maybe I need to rewatch chapter 1.
I'm using left click select, because I can't get used to right click. I adopted his preferences other than that.
