Mutexes, semaphores, synchronization, locking, optimistic locking and that kind of stuff. Looking for video resources specifically (lectures, talks, courses). Thanks

Best video will be the one you create while learning. Often times, the best way to learn is to teach. Java with its compilation cycle is not ideal for trial and error but you can install Groovy console and just write code for a concept, execute, crash, fix and go again. I say this as someone who has spent a small fortune buying Udemy/Coursera videos, but ultimately the concepts never sink in until I write some code and run it.
