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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!
