I know there have been similar posts to this but i was wondering if i could get some suggestions on some really good "crowd pleaser" songs that have good solos in them. I've been playing for about 1.5 years and feel like i need to get a few good solos under my belt.

Here's a list of solos i know so far, please feel free to recommend solos that are well known classics, or just straight up crowd pleasers.. thanks guys!

OAR - Crazy Game of Poker (just intro)
Eric Clapton - Layla (just the first solo)
DMB - One Sweet World intro (i guess this could be considered a solo?)

Pride and Joy-SRV
Little Wing-Hendrix, SRV style
Voodoo Chile-hendrix or SRV style
Kasmir-zepplin
All Along the Watchtower (i do a stairway to heaven intro, then the DMB finger pick intro after that before going into a dmb style of the song, and we tease stairway in the solo, and we slowly move to hendrix's style of watchtower...)

yeah, or anything by Yngwie Malmsteen haha

check out some Guns N Roses solos and ACDC solos, most of them are easy and good for starting out on
Allman Brothers solos usually aren't hard technically but takes longer getting the feel for them down
Metallica's - Nothing Else Matters - has an easy solo, i think its the first one i learned

and if u don't have it already, get the Powertab program from http://www.power-tab.net/downloads.php
its free and has the best tabs ive been able to find, its great b.c it plays the songs out for u in MIDI while it goes through the tab highlighting each number on the tab and everything. its real good for getting the timing of songs down
all of the tabs u download for it are free and are at http://www.powertabs.net/
