Honestly, just use third-party software. So much simpler and you get better control over the playback.
QuickTips
Easiest way? Just drag and drop the demo file into your CS:GO window. If it doesn't work, make sure CS:GO is running and try opening the demo through the console with the 'playdemo' command. Remember, the demo needs to be in the right folder.

I always forget to move the demo file. Make sure it's in the csgo folder or you'll be typing commands for nothing!
