Solo Guitar (later referred to as Volume 1) is a solo album by guitarist Derek Bailey which was recorded in London on July 13, 1970 and became the second release on the Incus label. A revised version of this album, with alternative improvisations, was released as Solo in 1978 and in 1995 a CD version, incorporating improvisations from the original and revised LPs was released.
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick called it "required listening for any self-respecting Derek Bailey fan and a fascinating, complex, and ultimately delicious disc on its own merits... one of the landmark early albums of English free improvisation" and states "No one, absolutely no one, was playing guitar like this in 1971. ...Bailey occupied a universe of his own, freely improvising with little reference to the jazz tradition (including free jazz), sending splinters of notes into the ether and summoning ringing feedback from the deep innards of his ax".
