Many people would say there aren’t many super easy guitar solos. After all, the solo is a time for the guitarist to show off a little. For a beginning guitarist, they all seem hard. We poked and prodded to find easy guitar solos that would be a good starting point for aspiring soloists. Again, they aren’t easy in the sense that an open C chord is. You’ll want to be prepared to bend a string now and then and you’ll want to be comfortable with playing quick hammer-ons and pull-offs.
The journey to play guitar solos begins with a first step, so dive in and give these easy guitar solos a try. You might not be able to play them up to speed right away, but if you keep practicing you’ll eventually get there!
