The solo from Folsom Prison Blues.
It's a great song, and readily recognizable.

Re: solo to learn
learn the beginning of Purple Haze. Moderately difficult with bends hammers and pulls and glissando. Used to be a rite of passage, but still has some good basic techniques for any guitarist.
And you get to learn the Hendrix 9th (or what we old guys remember as the James Brown 9th).
And saying you can play some Hendrix is always cool.
That's alright, I got my guitar

easiest solo I know is Nirvana's About A Girl
You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Re: solo to learn
The solo from Killer Queen is very easy, although you do need to do some bends and make your way to the 21st fret.

By the way, what is a 9th, a type of chord shape or something?

A 9th is a chord that adds the 2nd note of the associated scale to the chord. It is an extended 7th chord.
For example, a C9 would look like this.
C major scale.
C D E F G A B C
So C Major is
C E G
C7 is
C E G Bb (dom7 flattens the 7th.
C9 would then be
C E G Bb D

exactly jerome...
Lesson 2: the Hendrix or JB 9 is actually a C7#9, or C E G Bb D#
C9 C7#9
E 3 X
B 3 4
G 3 3
D 2 2
A 3 3
E X X
There is also a more difficult barre form Jimi used in Spanish Castle Magic and Foxey Lady.
Purple Haze is in E major, so move that form up and root it at the 7th fret.
This is my favorite chord, if you can have such a thing. I think SRV liked it too.

Here's a less wordy source for almost any chord question one will encounter.
