Can you suggest beginner-friendly slow and emotional guitar solos similar to Something, Comfortably Numb, Tender Surrender, Still Got the Blues, ’Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers, Still Loving You, November Rain, and Stairway to Heaven?

A lot of my beginners really like learning Californication by RHCP.

Need your love so bad - Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac. It’s not complex and uses bends, vibrato, and masterful pauses.

Holiday by Green Day and Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana are my go-to recommendations.

I’m currently learning the Betts solo at the end of Stormy Monday. I think it really fits your criteria.

Try learning the solo from Blackbird by The Beatles. It's simple, beautiful, and perfect for beginners.

I would recommend Hotel California by The Eagles. It has a great solo that is both melodic and emotional.

Check out the solo in Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. It's not too difficult for beginners and has a lot of emotion.
