There is a solo in the song "If I Ever Get Around to Living" by John Mayer that is at 3:40 that I just freaking love. It works so well in the song. It's so short it is almost a lick, but it fits perfectly. A jazzy slide and pull off, with an arpeggiated chord.

Ramones “I Wanna Be Sedated” the Ramones wrote a song that definitely needed a solo, so in keeping with their minimalist style, Johnny gave it one that was just an open E string matching the guitar rhythm. I can’t imagine a more Ramones guitar solo than that. Perfect for the song and the band.

Lucky, Radiohead. Best simple solo I ever heard. Especially the pre bend on the highest note. Part of what makes it so great is that the electric guitar have been so gnarly and unruely in the moment leading up to the solo so it's like a moment of clarity and, in the songs context, something lamenting. Like accepting something deeply saddening with all it's pain, and at the same time feel relief.Pure cathartic.

I think the guitar solo in Elvis Presley’s “Devil in Disguise” could be a great addition to the list, too. Always been one of my favorite simple solos ever since I saw Stitch from Lilo and Stitch belting it out on an electric ukulele!

Love playing all of them. I'm 59, started to play my guitar 8 years ago and I'm the real slowhand... In general, Gilmour's solos are simple to play like TIME; simple BUT it needs a lot of practice to make it flow from the heart.

When I think of simple, melodic solos, I think of Chris Stapleton. He's an amazing singer & songwriter, and that translates into his guitar playing. It's simple, but it serves the songs brilliantly. His solo for Tennessee Whiskey is a perfect example.

"Keep on Lovin' You" by REO Speedwagon. I suck at guitar and I figured it out (more or less) in one evening, so it's easy. REO Speedwagon was one of the most influential rock/pop bands of the 80s and it was largely due to this song. This solo contains the perfect amount of bends, slides, hammer ons and pull offs, and even has a tasty pick scrape too.
