Top 30 Easy Guitar Solos

Do you know any easy guitar solos?

It’s one of the most asked questions I get from guitar players who are just starting out
playing solo guitar. And I get that.

The most solos you hear in songs are not exactly beginner solos. They are often
intermediate or advanced guitar solos.

For the beginner lead guitar player it almost feels like every solo is out of reach and
that can be discouraging. How do other guitar players go about this?

Well almost every guitar player starts off with an easy guitar solo. Those who don’t
are up for a major challenge and often left disappointed. You’ve got to work your way
up one solo at a time.

My first solo was Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton. Beautiful, short and fairly easy.

Once you practiced a couple of solos and you get the hang of the basic techniques like
pull-offs, hammer-ons, slides and bend-ups it get’s easier and more fun. Then you also
want to work on scales, dexterity and speed which you will achieve with regular
practice and specific exercises.

But first thing first, let’s start off with choosing one easy guitar solo and have loads of
fun with.

You can click the song title and listen to the song and solo on Youtube or click Tab to
find the tablature for the song.

Enjoy!

The “tabs” link only goes to Amazon, not to any tabalature?

Hi Sambal,

The “tabs” indeed link to amazon. Each link goes to the official tablature book for the song and
solo.

Best regards,
Klaus Crow

El Farol – Santana :)

Hi Sam,

I guess Santana has a number of songs with fairly easy solos.

El Farol is a perfect example.

Thanks.

I would recomend some of the Arctic Monkeys. Like Arabella, R U Mine, Crying lightning, 505
or I bet you look good on the dancefloor. Madness by Muse is pretty easy too ;)
cheers :D

Absolutely ”Married with Children- Oasis”. You will enjoy this song it’s one of my oasis
favourites and ”Definitely Maybe” classics, has an easy solo you can play entire lead guitar of
the song, especially if you are an acoustic guitar player, strongly recommended song. Nice
sound , good riffs, brilliant and meaningful song, never bored of listening. it touches some
special places inside me . Love to play it on my guitar :):)

Thanks a lot for these, I’ve always played rhythm so I’m excited to learn these.
I have a good one for any funk lovers, it was the first solo I learnt a few weeks ago.
Blue feather – Let’s funk tonight (its at about 3 mins in I believe) Easy to transcribe and simple :)
All the best, and thanks again for this list it’s a great help!
