What Jarsew said is very very appropriate. The only thing I would add to it is, that you need to learn the neck of the guitar also, so that you know where and what and how the solos are being done. Learning the neck of the guitar is so important, that it cant be said enough.
I learned some srv stuff note for note, and it was great. But then I realized that I didnt know anything beyond the exact solo. I need to learn what I was playing, and that really opened my eyes as to how solos were created. There is no easy way, but if you really sit down and start learning the guitar, instead of only how to play a solo, things will really snowball for you.
