as a guitarist who plays a bunch of classic rock i am always told to play: Paint it Black, Even Flow, Rock you Like a Hurricane, Heart-Shaped Box, Pretty much any popular Aerosmith song, Most any song by Queen, Danger Zone, Pumped Up Kicks, All Star, HOUSE OF THE RISING SON (Especially. At least told to play it 2 time a day), Life is a Highway, Fortunate Son, Fury of the Storm. I can play most of them, but how many times are you asked to play them?
