hey... ive been learning lead guitar stuff for a bit now, and i can play a couple of solos & stuff... (the most advanced solo so far is probably 'Hooch' - sum41..) ....
anyway.., i was wondering if anyone knows of any really good 'how to play...' tutorial videos for any good solos? just so i can literally watch & play, and not have to keep refering to tab...!
they dont have to be extremely hard, just anything that's fun to play, or useful to learn..etc...
any help is gr8, thanks :)

honestly, this is the only way to learn how to play.
learn/look at guitar tabs of hard songs
play them really slowly....reallly slowly
then start to pick up the speed
and BAM you're good at guitar

yes but maybe he gets confused because of BFMV's tunning (I think it's dropped C)
