Solos are like sex, so it's surprising to me that there aren't more guys playing them
Richie Sambora

Solo dancing does not exist: the dancer dances with the floor: add another dancer and you have a quartet: each dance with the other and each with the floor.
Steve Paxton
Image
I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with
John Frusciante

Between the Dinosaur Jr. albums and his recent solo albums, 'Several Shades of Why' and 'Heavy Blanket,' J Mascis is emerging as one of the last men from all that '80s indie madness, still writing songs that you want to listen to over and over.
Henry Rollins

I always go into listening to a new record by Gord Downie solo or The Tragically Hip and think, Well, I know what this is going to be, lyrically. Every song starts and then I think, Oh, I have no idea where that comes from. He has this entirely original voice, both literal and metaphorical.
John K. Samson

I've never really been interested in doing a solo piano tour.
Herbie Hancock

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
John Legend

Wherever I went, crowds appeared again, and I started making solo albums for the first time in my career.

Jam Cruise is actually a comfortable place for me. My jamming skills and my improvisational skills have improved immensely as I've gone more solo, because I've had this opportunity.
John Oates

All the time I was playing the flute, the lines, the solos, the riffs, the construction, were based on my guitar skills. I did not play the flute to exploit its natural faculties, but I used it as a surrogate guitar.
Ian Anderson

I would urge a young player to listen to Charlie Christians' sense of time ... I'll never forget listening to my father (Bucky Pizzarelli) and Tal Farlow playing Christians' 'Solo Flight' backstage at a gig... that's when it hit me how big of an effect Christian had on jazz guitar. 'Solo Flight' was like the gospel.
John Pizzarelli

I pray thee, sir, forgive me for the mess/And whether I shot first, I'll not confess. - Han Solo
Ian Doescher

I Still Approach A Scene As One Would Approach A Guitar Solo. You Don't Exactly Know How You're Going To Phrase This Or That. Which I Think Is Beautiful. That Idea Of Chance.
Johnny Depp

When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.
J Mascis
Image
Sometimes you think Okay, well I'm going to play my horn, and I'm going to study Charlie Bird Parker solos or [John Coltrain] or whatever. But as [Phil Wood] said to me, Man, Bird listened to everything.
Jon Gordon
Image
What is so important is that you play for the artist and for the record and for the song ... everything else falls into place ... my solo has to be a complement to the singer and the song.
James Burton
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

The music industry is not what it used to be. Being in a good band is great, and I've been lucky to be in great bands. I've done solo stuff, and that's been great. I also produce rock bands and I do co-writes, where I write with different singers in bands and songwriters.
James Iha

Affectors Harmagedon is a solid blast of PROG metal complete with burning solos, odd time signatures, orchestral highlights, and Rock riffs that will tear your head off! Excited that I could be a part of this album!
Jordan Rudess

There was mass hysteria in the Chess Recording Studio when I did the Shapes of Things solo ... they weren't expecting it, and it was just some weird mist coming from the East out of an amp.
Jeff Beck

Life is a guy trying to play a violin solo in public, while learning the music and his instrument at the same time.
Joseph Campbell

When you make a solo record, it's you. It's your name. It has to be the right songs for how you feel. It just took me a really long time to get to a place where I felt comfortable with the material and the recording.
Jenny Lewis
Image
I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.
Jimmy Page

There're lots of musicians in my family, too. My mother sings incredibly well. I've got to make a record with my mother's voice on it. She sings a lyric soprano. We do the opposite. I'm a baritone. She's a star singer in her church. She always does her solo.
Grace Jones
