    A couple of them he didn’t play quite right, but it sounded like it was probably done in one take, so I'll give him a pass. I was able to recognize them all anyway. I've played most of them at least once at some point or other.

    I've never heard, nor did I know there was, the Fleetwood Mac version. Is the riff theirs or Carlos' Santana's?

    5 is the song "Ain't No Cure for the Summertime Blues"

    6 is a little familiar.

    15 is a little less familiar.

    22 I just figured out is Rolling Stones, ummm... "Girl, when you call my name..."

    27 Allman Brothers, right? Sweet Melissa, right?

    30 is possibly the most unknown thing to me.

    49 is some headbanging metal that I'm unfamiliar with. Not Metallica, but maybe Iron Maiden?

    2 is, based on lyrics "hold me close and tell me how you feel", Words of Love, which I know better from the Beatles' cover.

    Yeah, I think you're right. They both have the same chord progression, which was throwing me off.

    Fleetwood Mac wrote the song, but this guy is playing Santana’s version, which is phrased slightly differently.

    Wow! 15 & 30 titles are unknown to me.
    I now make it my mission to create a similar game for late 80s to now. I will probably fail. :P

    Fleetwood Mac, huh? Never listened to them all that much outside of what I’ve heard on the radio. Never heard this one. I’ve listened to a lot more Dead than Fleetwood Mac, but mostly their more iconic songs. I'm sure I've heard “Scarlet Begonias” once or twice, but not enough to place it, and I don't think I ever knew the title.
