Solo Flights is the thirty-sixth studio album 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.
The album debuted on the US Billboard Top LPs on the 3rd of February, peaking at No. 184 during a three-week stay on the chart. [1]
This album was reissued on CD for the first time, in Japan only, on April 22, 2009.
