I am a 69-year young rhythm guitarist who started playing with bands as a junior in high school. I continued playing with bands after high school, in college and also in my hometown. When I married, I reduced my playing schedule, until I stopped playing entirely with bands. I continued playing off and on for pleasure for 45 years, but only recall playing once with a band, as a walk-on at a family member's wedding reception, doing "Louie Louie". I know about 50 songs fairly well, and portions of about another 75+ songs, mostly classic rock. I can play in open tuning, particularly Open G tuning favored by Keith Richards. I always keep one guitar 5-string tuned to Open G.
