If I play anything that sounds like a solo, it's gonna sound like a lyric.

I don't dictate the solos and I don't dictate the vocal harmonies.

I try to look at most of my solos as a musical piece within the song, not, say, showing off.

We don't really have more than acouple of solos. It's just the way our music is put together.

I don't like guitar solos that are like, 'Look at me, look at me!' I like guitar solos that are little songs within the songs.

That's the exact concept behind the music: to take that kind of, I guess whatever you want to call it, jazz sensibility - but not have it be about solos.

Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.

Guitar solos, to me, should be a really articulate way to make fun of guitar solos.
