Pentatonic help

I just recently started guitar lessons and learned the pentatonic form.

What are some of your favorite solos using the maj or min pentatonic?
Any recommended websites for this?

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated...

almost every solo ever is in the pentatonic.

stairway to heaven solo....i'm pretty sure, literally anything has a lot of the pentatonic.

yea...i don't really understand the idea of learning an entire solo note for note...i guess i can't appreciate that...i would much rather just learn the base and do my own thing

I think it's fun-- and inspiring... and after that I make it my own. I learn a lot looking at how people have used the form really well in the past. As a starting point... not as gospel.

oh i'm not against learning a few licks that catch my ear...but the whole thing, maybe i just have ADD

no, I probably do too--- I know the first 5 seconds of a bunch of solos-- then I... wait, what were we talking about?

my problem is that all i have is original stuff, so whenever somebody says "do you know such and such" all i can do is try to fake it and then not know how to play it and dissappoit "dee ladiees". i seriously know like 4 songs by heart and the rest i can review and then play in like five minutes but have really no clue just to play it. i need to get one of those fakebooks that were all the rage over here just a few weeks ago.

well actually...i haven't learned many solos note for note. the only one i konw all the way through is the acoustic layla solo cause that is freaking awesome. i don't know any other ones i dont think....maybe like little things like What i got. but htat's just a lick, not a solo...

this isnt necessarily an "easy" solo, but the solo to hendrix's little wing is hendrix improvising over an eminor pentatonic scale
