What is an easy guitar solo to learn for a beginner?
I have owned guitars for years and my dad was in a band but I haven't really learned any actual songs on the guitar. My dad has tried teaching me but because my parents split and I live quite far away I rarely see him. I don't want lessons because I don't like the idea of a set time so I would like to teach myself. Is there an easy solo I could learn?
Smells like teen spirit- Nirvana
Hit me with your best shot- Pat benetar
Iron man- Black Sabbath
Eruption- Van Halen
12 Bar blues and Smoke on the water.

Iron Man. That's a song that most guitar players start with

The beginning of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. It's fairly simple & will get you used to sliding your fingers quickly down the neck playing high notes!

Avenged Sevenfold has some really easy lead parts and rhythm parts in like all of their older songs (Second Heartbeat, Radiant Eclipse, Chapter Four). just look for songs that you like on ultimate-guitar.com and try out and see which solo you can play.

The first solo I learned was actually the sax solo from Never Tear Us Apart. Pretty easy, the tricky part is phrasing it so it sounds like a sax…

Like the other answerer said, don't forget about YouTube.
A lot of guys take the time to give excellent lessons. A little searching will be worth your while.
For example, this Canadian guy shows you how to play the solo to the Beatles song, "And I Love Her." So don't forget aboot YouTube!

The first guitar SOLO that I learned was the one from Living After Midnight by Judas Priest. It's pretty easy.

Judas Priest – British Steel
nirvana songs

AC/DC- You Shook Me All Night Long is quite easy (considering you have a little background knowledge of guitar), and also includes easy chords.
Also Jet-Are You Gonna Be My Girl, not too hard

Well a few that require simple technique and are pretty easy for beginners are the solos in
-Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana
-Wish you were here by Pink Floyd
-Tangerine by Led Zeppelin
-Helter Skelter by The Beatles
Course you can just try starting off with some minor and major pentatonic scales,any kinds of scales will improve your playing much.

A good easy guitar song I like to play is All Apologies by Nirvana. There isn't a solo as such in it but it is easy to play and it sounds good.

Try the guitar solo on the intro of "The Day that Never Comes" by Metallica. It's the first ever guitar solo I've learned on guitar.
