None of them. They're all difficult to a certain extent if you want to play them correctly.

No, I can't. That's the answer. "What you're looking for" is never the answer I'm going to give. You've posted this question several times and not received much response because the solos that Grant Green played aren't easy.

So do you think you can tell me the name of a song played by a specific artist that is very easy?

1) Listen to Grant Green
2) Listen to Wes Montgomery
3) Listen to Charlie Christian
4) Pick a solo that you want to transcribe

Not very hard.

Start with Blues in B by Charlie Christian. It's very short but it contains many of the basic elements you need to start.
