Yeah, I'm hoping that next time, I'll be able to get myself up there and play some of my favorite songs... On that note, I've still got a lengthy list of classic tunes I'd love to learn, but learning them all at the same time seems exhausting, and learning one at a time will take years to get me through the list, so how many songs is it recommended that I work on at a time? Like all other guitarists, or musicians in general, I want to expand my repertoire all the time, but I have no clue as to how many songs it would be ideal to learn at the same time.

I can't say for sure how long each song on the list will take to get down (not including the solos. They can be improvised until the actual solos are learned), but if I can get maybe 5 to 10 more songs down before the next Open Mic, I should be able to at least keep things going and people happy for some time, if I manage to get up there... I've already figured out which 5-10 songs I would start with, and hopefully have down well enough to feel confident enough to go on-stage next time.
