Mine was likely "Hey Joe" -
Although to play two verses of lead at the
12th fret without screwing it up ... took .. decades (LOL) !
Closely behind that was "Paranoid" - But many of the
Sabbath songs/solos are actually quite difficult .. Iommi is
no slacker when it comes to originality.
Since that time I've mastered many. I played
"Reel'in in The Years" so many times - I actually
have gotten bored sick of it .. At one time it was
unreachable .. now I can't stand to hear it.
Heh....I gotta think about this!
I don't know if you consider it a "solo" but I one of the first things I learned to play consisting of single notes was the lead part in "Wipeout", Pete the Drummer and I would work through this ad nauseam in his basement before we formed a full band. Later it was Misirlou (though it was the Beach Boys cover version, not Dick Dale's). I learned a few more Beach Boys tunes back in those days, "I Get Around" and "Fun, Fun, Fun" come to mind.
From those tunes, the Beatles "Boys" wasnt' much of a stretch since it'sbasically a surf-style solo. Then I sort of aped George Harrison for a few years. "I Saw Her Standing There" was a good one to learn; it showcases George's early style.
By the time Hendrix came along, I could play a lot of his stuff without incurring a serious brain-ache ;-)
