Solo Flights is the title of a recording by Chet Atkins. Side one of this album features Atkins' experiment with the "Octabass Guitar," where he replaced the two low strings (the E and A strings) with heavier strings in order to drop an octave and create a fuller sound with bass.
This album was reissued on CD for the first time, in Japan only, on April 22, 2009
Writing for Allmusic, critic Richard S. Ginell wrote of the album "All told, this is one of Atkins' more pleasing collections from that era."
