Solos are like sex, so it's surprising to me that there aren't more guys playing them
Richie Sambora
Image
Once you sophisticate the in-betweens, your blacks and whites can take their solos and shine.
Sara Genn

I didn't want to take the guitar solos down note-for-note, but more or less use them as a map, and keep all the hooks from the guitar playing, and let myself come through.
Brian Setzer
Image
I would just like to say that Ritchie Blackmore did a bunch of great stuff guitar - wise. I'm happy to play the solo from 'Highway Star'. I always thought it was one of the most exciting guitar solos I'd ever played.
Steve Morse
Image
I don't like drum solos, to be honest with you, but if anybody ever told me he didn't like Buddy Rich I'd right away say go and see him, at least the once.
Charlie Watts
Image
I learned a lot about lead you don't have to blow your cookies in the first bar. It is much harder to be simple that to be complicated during solos.
Tommy Bolin
Image
The jam stuff doesn't appeal to me in general. My newfound love for the Dead came from Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia's songwriting, not the elaborate guitar solos. I'm a song person. Once it starts to break out of that structure and become loopy, it's uninteresting to me.
Colin Meloy

I don't like piano solos.
Warren Zevon

Punk came along and grunge made guitar solos uncool.
David Pajo

I got home, picked up my ax, turned on the four-track and just played it ... I played three solos back to back on Cemetery Gates ... the next morning, the second and third solos weren't bad, but the first had that first take magic ! .. I didn't touch it.
Dimebag Darrell
Image
Our little solos are a note in an immense chorus vibrating grandly through the universe, a chorus which accepts and harmonizes the whir of the cricket and the long drum-roll of the stars.
Harriet Monroe
Image
With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.
John Bonham
Image
My main objective with a home studio - I could get into doing full band demos - but my first objective is to cut things like guitar tracks and solos at home.
John Petrucci
Image
I love classical music I love the way it's worked... all those chord sequences so I often use that sort of effect in my solos.
Jon Lord
Image
I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that its extremely predictable, its a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again and theres a certain musical virtuosity involved in it.
Ken Burns
Image
It really shocked me just to hear of the fans' response to 'St. Anger' not having guitar solos.
Kirk Hammett
Image
In rock & roll heaven, there ARE drum solos, but only the drummers can hear them.
Lin Brehmer
Image
It would be a dream come true if I could just go from studio to studio and play solos.
Michael Schenker
Image
It was loud in spots and less loud in other spots, and it had that quality which I have noticed in all violin solos of seeming to last much longer than it actually did.
P. G. Wodehouse
Image
It was by listening to Goodman's band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up.
Alvin Lee
Image
Nowadays I get complaints about long drum solos, but in those days they wanted me to keep on going so they could go over to the bar and have a drink.
Aynsley Dunbar
Image
I could never be a professional comedian, 'cause you have to keep telling the same jokes. For me, they're like word solos.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
You can go crazy and play solos in the right place, and that's great because it can intensify and bring an emotional lift. But the thing is you don't want to get in the way of the song.
Benmont Tench

Corina Bartra is a very intriguing singer. On Son Zumbon ... the music utilizes tricky rhythms, the leader's haunting voice, and plenty of short solos. There is no lack on intensity in this program.
