The first solo you learned?

All the ones from I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness. That song is what made me a decent guitarist.

Yes; That would be "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. After 34 years I still know it note for note. I think "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath was the next one.

yeah, for some reason ive neglected ever learning a solo until now.
other than blues stuff, and those were all lessons.

Coheed & Cambria's Welcome Home.

then again i didnt take a crack at it until id been playing for 3 years.

The first solo I learned was from "She", by KISS!

I've yet to learn any solos, but until recently I'd only ever played acoustic - mostly folk-type songs. I've yet to decide what I want to learn for my first solo.

The first full solo I learned was Ac/Dc's You Shook Me All Night Long. It took some time to memorize but its a fun solo to play.

Usually its more fun to figure out what the soloist is doing than it is to memorize a solo. Unless you are a cover band its not useful to know other peoples songs unless it helps you learn.

Contrary to popular belief most people don't think you're cool just because you can play a solo. Especailly if this is a solo from Black Sabbeth/Ozzy, Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd etc. Never pay to impress, because it makes you look like an idiot.

My first solo was from A PLACE IN LINE by Deep Purple (Who Do We Think We Are?).

The question was what was the first solo so I wrote what my first solo was. No need to bash my skillz, you don't learn improv as soon as you pick up the guitar! ( although it would be amazing)

Im not bashing anyone. Im just saying, that you look like an idiot if you try to how off on guitar.

It really doesn't matter what solos from which songs you learn. You really just need to practice your scales and arpeggios. That's all soloing is, knowing the scales and how to use them.
