Wat r some easy guitar soloes?

Most solos are difficult even with tab. Unless the song is extremly easy when soloing it will generally be difficult. I suggest learning solos by ear.

Wish you were here by pink floyd has some easy solos, as does Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

Also, there's this song by Van Halen, called Eruption. You should check that out. It's super easy. blaugh

Most of the classic 'easy solos' have already been mentioned, but I think we're omitting the obligatory first song; Smoke on the Water

It was most of our first riff, you may as well see it through.

Thing I find though, with melodic riffs, is... well two things I find are a) Because they're a personal stamp on a song, it's quite hard to really 'learn' it, regardless of technical difficulty, and b) again, because of the emotive quality, your favourites are always easier.

To summarise, pick a solo you love and work at it.

I actually made these myself... I made tabs for a solo I learned from a teacher.

The b means bend it up.
The v means vibrato it.

There not to hard... but they sound really cool.
I found them on aaronsguitarlessons.com
In a video just I made the tab by myself listening to everything the guy said to play.

Enjoy!

As for other solos I learned how to play the 21 guns solo and the Smells like teen spirit solo... both are pretty easy and sound awesome!

Check out the solo by George Lynch on Dokken's "Breaking The Chains"

A bit of cheese factor since it's from 1983, but the solo is simple, easy to learn and fun to play!!

Dokken - Dreaking The Chains

There's a link to music video, it's easy to figure out the solo from this because you can see what Lynch is playing. Hopefully you will be able to take the song seriously after watching this really goofy, extremely dated music video. It's all about the solo!

Why dont you try Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. Im a beginner too and right now im curently working on that song. The solo seems pretty easy and it sounds more complicated than it really is.
