I'm sitting around, bored, trying to find something to play on my electric guitar...

So does any body have any suggestions for GOOD guitar solos i can learn?

Smells Like Teen Spirit

make one up, write it down, then play it

I have a question for rock guitarist. Do you usually write out, or plan your solo's or do you come up with them more or less spontaneously?

any solo by RANDY RHOADS are nice ihad lots of fun learning them even though cant play them just like the master but there still fun, look up some guitar tab on joe satriani or kenny wayne shepperd band there some fun tunes to try and learn but some are ust near impossible like stevie ray vighn

It depends on the song quite often I just improvise cos I cant be arsed to learn the solo properly but if its a song where the solo is a crucial element then I'll learn it.

Look to the 80's rock bands for the solo's

Yeah there are some good 80's bands out there but look hard

no its not that hard to find good 80's bands

Iron Maidian, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Saxon, Accept, Skid Row, Tesla, Dokken

All have killer solos to learn.

smells like teen spirit is a good one to learn, or song 2 by blur. check out http://www.guitartabs.com

Yes, everything by Nirvana is easy and fun!

Metallica's "Fade to Black" OR
Metallica's "One"

Both are great.

pantera - yesterday dont mean sh-- (this song is full of energy)

Anything by Joe Satriani or Steve Vai.

If your a beginner, it's pointless learning the like of Vai and Satriani. You gotta do what your capable of first!

When I write solos, I just write them spontainesly. Can't be bothered writing them out!

I suggested Satriani & Vai, because they are good solos. I don't know if this is for a beginner or not. If for a beginner, than Nirvana or mxpx probably. My husband teaches a lot of his beginner guitar students stuff by them. He likes to play the harder stuff like Satriani & Vai. And, I agree, probably too time consuming to write out solos.

I'm kind of an intermediate beginner...Nothing TOO hard, but I'm not too bad at Nirvana and MXPX solos....

Cool!

vanhalen eruption and my giutarist writes his solos out before he playes them

Mostly anything from Kirk Hammet will give you a headache as well.

anything by zakk wild is also good
