Guitar Solos is the debut solo album of British guitarist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith.

It was recorded while Frith was still a member of the English experimental rock group Henry Cow and was released originally in October 1974. Voted one of the best albums of 1974 by NME critics , it also attracted the attention of Brian Eno, resulting in Frith playing guitar on two of Eno‘s albums.

Frith‘s never tiring spirit in creating and performing music has made him one of the most notable and creative guitar players and musicians in the scene of improvised and composed music.

For the anniversary of this release we have encouraged Frith to arrange a set up similar to what he used 50 years ago to record an album of new compositions which will accompany the original record.
