Compare and contrast soloing styles in rock and jazz.

What will be an ideal response?

Improvised solos tend to stay closer to the accompanying instruments, stay within the scale or mode of the rhythm section, repeat melodic patterns, stay close to the beat played by the rhythm section, solos often very fast, flashy and continuous. Jazz: how long to dwell on a note, when to bend it, what notes to accentuate and what ones to merely suggest, what liberties to take with the beat, when to play non-chordal notes, when to move away from the rhythms of the accompaniment, when to be quiet and break the constancy of the solo.
