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