Learning how to play some of the greatest guitar solos of all time is not only fun but super satisfying. The melody and feel of certain solos just make them stand out from others and can draw people in. It doesn’t matter how technically complicated a solo is but rather how it is played, which can separate the good from the great. Some of the best solos are considered easy guitar solos, while on the other hand, some are extremely difficult.
In this post, I decided to create an extensive list of some of the best guitar solos you need to learn as a guitarist. I’ve broken them down into 3 sections:
- Easy
- Intermediate
- Expert
If you prefer to learn a new song by tab, I’d highly recommend using Guitar Pro whenever possible as it can definitely help you get a better feel for the timing of each tab and provide you with more tools to learn solos and songs much faster.

Best Easy Guitar Solos Of All Time
The first set of best guitar solos features relatively easy ones. These solos are great for beginners to get their feet wet with soloing, without it being too overwhelming.
These solos are either relatively short, slow-paced, or even a combination of both. Although they aren’t complex, that doesn’t mean they’re not great because as musicians know, you don’t have to be the best or fastest player to make great music.
These easy guitar solos are awesome to jam to and I’d highly suggest checking them out.
1. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” By Nirvana
The “Smells Like Teen Spirit” solo doesn’t feature anything too fancy. It’s a relatively short solo and makes use of a few slides and bends but mostly relies on a few simple licks.
If you want to replicate this solo the right way you’ll need tons of distortion and be mindful of your guitar tone.
2. “Wake Me Up When September Ends” By Green Day
“Wake Me Up When September Ends” is a song by American rock band Green Day, released on their seventh studio album American Idiot (2004).
For the solo, Billy only makes use of the G and B strings. He does some singular picking between strings as well as plucks both strings in unison for some parts of the solo.
Overall, if you have an electric guitar and want to learn a simple solo this is a great one.

3. “Californication” By Red Hot Chili Peppers
“Californication” is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in 1999 as the lead single from their seventh album of the same name.
The easy solo was written by John Frusciante and is a great one to learn as a beginner guitarist.
What’s more, is that you don’t need much for effects or pedals to play this one right. Just work on your technique and you’ll have this one down pat in no time.
4. “Something” By The Beatles
The easy but melodically beautiful solo in “Something” by The Beatles is the reason why the song is on this list of best guitar solos. Written by George Harrison, “Something” was released on the Abbey Road album in 1969.
Admittedly, this solo is a bit more challenging than the other solos we’ve covered so far. It features quite a few slides, bends, and tremolo notes and you really need to get your timing right to play this one successfully.
5. “Wonderful Tonight” By Eric Clapton
There are few guitar solos more simple yet iconic than Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight.”
As one of the greatest guitarists of all time you might think “there’s no way I’d be able to play an Eric Clapton solo, I’m just a beginner”. Well, you’re in luck!
The solo in “Wonderful Tonight” isn’t just simple and easy to learn but it’s also super tasteful and when played with the right feel can sound great.
6. “Like a Stone” By Audioslave
“Like a Stone” is one of the most popular songs by American rock music bands Audioslave. The song was released in 2002 as the second single from their self-titled debut album.
Tom Morello is known for some of the whacky sound effects he uses, and this song is no different.
According to an Ultimate Guitar article, if you want to achieve a similar sound to his solo you’ll need to use a whammy pedal with a 2-octave range, overdrive, and delay.
Although the solo itself is super simple, you might need to do quite a bit of tweaking to get the effects right for this one.
7. “Use Somebody” By King of Leon
“Use Somebody” is a song recorded by American rock band Kings of Leon for their fourth studio album, Only by the Night (2008). “Use Somebody” was released on December 8, 2008 as the album’s second single, and it became the band’s breakthrough hit in the United States.
The solo is nothing special. You’ll simply need to pluck the same note a few times and move between the D, G, and B strings.
8. “Lonely Boy” By The Black Keys
“Lonely Boy” was released as the lead single from their eighth studio album, El Camino.
The guitar solo on this one is actually the exact same as the lead melody.
It doesn’t feature any fancy guitar techniques. Just straight picking. Repeat the tabs above twice and congratulations you’ve played the “Lonely Boy” solo on guitar!
9. “Seven Nation Army” By The White Stripes
“Seven Nation Army” is one of The White Stripes’ most iconic songs, and its solo is a big part of what makes it so memorable. The solo was written by Jack White and performed by him on the band’s 2003 album “Elephant.” It starts with a simple, catchy riff that gradually builds in intensity, culminating in a fierce distortion-driven solo.
The first part of the solo is actually more or less the same as the second part (only the second is 1 octave higher).
To accomplish playing his solo you’ll need to do some string bends, a couple of slides, and work on your vibrato.
10. “About a Girl” By Nirvana
This song was written by Kurt Cobain and was inspired by his then-girlfriend, Tracy Marander. “About a Girl” is one of Nirvana’s more pop-oriented songs, and was released as the third single from their debut album, Bleach.

11. “We’re Not Gonna Take It” By Twisted Sister
We’re not gonna take it / No, we ain’t gonna take it / We’re not gonna take it anymore.
If you are a fan of 80s music at all you’ve undoubtedly heard these lyrics once or twice.
The solo in this one is fun to play and doesn’t feature a whole lot of technique although it does make ample use of the whammy bar. If you’ve got an electric guitar with a whammy bar and aren’t afraid to use it then you’ll definitely have fun with this one.
12. “Holiday” By Green Day
“Holiday” was released on their seventh studio album, American Idiot (2004). The solo in this song is powerful yet simple which makes it one of the best guitar solos for beginners to learn.
If you’re used to just sticking to the low frets as a beginner guitarist then you’ll need to get a little adventurous with this one, going all the way up to fret 18.
That being said, it’s pretty simple once you’ve got the groove down. Just crank the distortion, and rock out.
13. “Angels” By Robbie Williams
Robbie Williams’ hit song “Angels” has touched the hearts of listeners all over the world. The simple, beautiful melody of “Angels” coupled with the dreamy piano composition is why this song is so special.
The solo in this one is short and sweet although you will have to work on your bends to get this one right. It features a slow bend from the 9th fret of the G string up to the 11th fret. Bending truly is one of the hardest techniques to get right when playing guitar so keep practicing them!
That being said, this solo simply repeats twice and is pretty short so if you’re just starting out it’s a good one to get under your belt.
14. “Love Hurts” By Nazareth
“Love Hurts” was first released in 1975, and quickly became a hit, reaching the Top 10 in several countries.
The song is notable for its slow solo, which was performed by Manny Charlton. Again, you’ll need to work on your bends to pull this one off.

The song features a guitar solo from lead guitarists Andrew Stockdale which is pretty simple yet fun to play. Much like the “Seven Nation Army Solo” most of this solo follows the same pattern, it’s just played with different notes.
The song itself though is fairly upbeat so be ready to move fast with this one!
16. “Island In the Sun” By Weezer
“Island in the Sun” features a guitar solo from Brian Bell that perfectly complements the chill vibes of the song.
It’s simple, laid back, melodic, and helps to punctuate the rest of the song. The solo is fairly short, but it’s an important part of the song and helps to round out the overall sound.
It’s a great example of how a simple guitar solo can add a special “break” to a track.
17. “High and Dry” By Radiohead
“High and Dry” features a guitar solo that primarily alternates between the high E and B strings.
The cool part is that all the notes you play on the high E string are open, so you only have to worry about fretting the notes on the B string.
Best Intermediate/Advanced Guitar Solos
If you’re an intermediate/advanced guitarist then maybe you’re looking for a bit more of a challenge. Well, the following list of intermediate/advanced guitar solos is for you.
These solos are generally longer than the easy guitar solos above and contain a greater range of flair (i.e. bends, vibrato, tapping, etc). Try working through the list below by finding songs that you love and learning their solos.
18. “Nothing Else Matters” By Metallica
The is more than one solo in this song however the main solo is the last one in the song. Hammett uses a combination of fast legato runs and slow, sustained notes to create a sense of contrast and build up tension. The solo also makes use of hammer-ons and pull-offs, as well as wide vibrato, to add expression and depth to the melodies.
Pretty much any solo from Metallica takes some skill so if you are intermediate to advanced, give this one a shot.
19. “Black Magic Woman” By Santana
Many may not know this but “Black Magic Woman” was actually originally written by Peter Green and recorded by his band Fleetwood Mac.
The song gained widespread popularity when it was covered by the Latin rock guitarist Carlos Santana, whose version was released as a single in 1970 and became a hit, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The solo begins with a series of quick, staccato notes played in a minor pentatonic scale, which gives the solo a raw and powerful sound. As the solo progresses, Santana adds in longer, more sustained notes, as well as bends and vibrato, to add expression and depth to the melodies.
The solo also incorporates elements of Latin music, with the use of fast, syncopated rhythms and percussive guitar techniques.
20. “Alive” By Pearl Jam
This song features a prominent solo played by lead guitarist Mike McCready.
The solo in “Alive” is characterized by its raw and emotive sound. The solo begins with a series of fast, driving notes played in a major pentatonic scale, which gives the solo a bright and energetic sound. As the solo progresses, McCready adds in a series of bends and pull offs to add expression and depth to the melodies.
One of the most memorable moments of the solo is near the end when McCready continuously builds end tension by bending up the fretboard further and further. He eventually builds up enough tension and then releases it while simultaneously ending the song with a long sustained note.
21. “Crazy Train” By Ozzy Osbourne
Randy Rhoads was truly a one of a kind guitarist. He certainly showed why with his performance in the solo for Crazy Train.
This solo is characterized by its fast and virtuosic nature, which matches up well the energetic and driving sound of the song. Rhoads uses a combination of fast tapping technique, alternate picking, and whammy bar to create a sense of excitement and intensity.
Rhoads’ tapping technique is what really makes people go “wow” when they hear this solo. This is where Rhoads uses his left hand to rapidly alternate between different frets on the guitar neck while using his right hand’s index finger to play yet a third note in between.
The overall song is an absolute head banger but the solo truly serves as a standout moment in the song, and is a showcase of Rhoads’ skill and style as a guitarist.
22. “Stairway to Heaven” By Led Zeppelin
Many guitar publications have voted Stairway to Heave’s solo as the best guitar solo of all time. Just take this NME article for instance.
The thing is, this solo isn’t overly technically challenging. The main differentiator here between someone who can play Stairway to Heaven’s solo good vs great is all about feel.
It’s about the right notes at the right time, with the right emotion and dynamics. That’s why people voted it the greatest of all time.
23. “Back in Black” By AC/DC
This solo also makes use of the blues scale, which gives it a classic rock sound.
Angus is known for making incredibly catching, yet simple, guitar riffs but he’s also got some impressive solo skills. The guy can shred (okay maybe not shred, but you get what I mean).
Angus typically takes the time to collect his thoughts and briskly “duck walk” across the stage while playing solo such as this one in “Back In Black”. It sounds silly on paper but hey, the people love it!
The solo itself uses a combination and techniques and you need to be ready to vary your speed on a dime to nail it. Oh, and guitar tone, don’t forget that you need a great guitar tone!
24. “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” By Queen
When you hear the opening guitar riff of “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” there’s no mistaking it for anything else. Ears perk up and people start getting ready to sing along and dance.
The song is notable for its solo, which is usually performed by Brian May on a Red Special (when played live), an electric guitar that he built himself.
The solo is brisk, much shorter than others on this list, but poignant at the same time. I think if he went any longer it may have detracted from the charm of the song.

25. “Paranoid” By Black Sabbath
If you wanted to play this solo live and really re-created you’d need to have three guitarists in total. One playing the solo with distortion, another playing the solo with really heavy distortion, and the last playing the rhythm section. It makes for a great guitar duet song.
The solo was played by Black Sabbath’s guitarist Tony Iommi. Iommi’s solo is characterized by its use of advanced techniques, including quick picking and well-timed bends.
These techniques helped to give the solo a unique sound that was unlike anything else that had been heard at the time.
26. “Santeria” By Sublime
This song was written by frontman Bradley Nowell and features a reggae-inspired sound.
The song’s prominent solo is played by lead guitarist Eric Wilson and is characterized by its laid-back and groovy sound. Which indeed goes well with the overall relaxed and reggae-influenced vibe of the song.
Wilson uses a combination string bends and hammer-ons to create a smooth and soulful sound.
You don’t need much in terms of effects or distortion to re-create this one. A clean tone with a good guitar is about it!
27. “Belief” By John Mayer
If you don’t know already, John Mayer is one of my favorite artists. Most people know him for his cheesy song “Your Body Is a Wonderland”. But that’s an unfair judgement of artistry in my opinion.
The song starts with a memorable guitar riff, which eventually crescendos into a bluesy solo. This solo perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the song – it is bluesy and soulful.
Get your vibrato chops ready in order to take on this one. Vibrato is what separates the good from the great in so many instances of guitar playing.
28. “Carry on Wayward Son” By Kansas
I love jamming around to this solo people the main section that repeats multiple times is just so fun to play!
Eventually you’ll break out of this repetitive section and move onto legatos runs and multi-string plucking.
What’s more, is that in this song it’s not just the guitar that shines. If you have a keyboard player friend they’ll also have they time in the spotlight as the guitar and keyboard exchange solo sections.
29. “More Than a Feeling” By Boston
Tom Scholz outdid himself on this solo. In my opinion, he is the king of hammer-ons and pull-offs.
If you like moving quick then try your hand at the “More Than a Feeling” solo.
It’s tasteful, rocking, and a great display of Scholz’s guitar mastery. Scholz’s use of dynamics and timing is impeccable, and it’s a great example of how a solo can really take a song to the next level.
30. “Renegade” By Styx
The solo in “Renegade” was performance by guitarist Tommy Shaw . It’s a high-energy guitar solo that lasts for about 1 minute seconds.
At near 40 seconds into the solo, the synth kicks in and begins to accompany the guitar solo’s frenetic energy.
It’s a great solo, for a great song, by a great band.
31. “Caught Up In You” By 38 Special
As the chorus of this song reaches it’s climax, the lead guitarist unleashes a high-octane solo that showcases his technical prowess and emotional intensity.
The solo is incredibly melodic and almost sounds as if you could add lyrics and sing over it.
Bends, vibrato, harmonics, and staccato runs are all adjectives that can be used to describe this face-melter.
32. “Purple Haze” By Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix was the master of timing and feel. And his hit song “Purple Haze” aptly demonstrates why.
The solo is characterized by a combination of fast and fluid phrasing, bold and daring bends, and a distinct sense of style and finesse that is all Hendrix’s own.
The result is a rich and expressive performance that takes the listener on a musical journey.
“Purple Haze” is often cited as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

More cowbell! You get that reference, right? Different song but you get the point…
The licks played throughout this song are just so catchy. You’re never quite sure where the solo is going next if you’ve never listened to the song before.
