I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour.
Meaning of the quote
The quote is saying that while the musician enjoys listening to jazz music, they could never play it themselves. Playing jazz music involves sitting with a very large guitar, wearing a silly-looking hat, and repeating the same solo over and over for a long time. The musician finds this style of playing to be strange and not something they would be able to do themselves.
