guitar solos where less is more


Looking for brilliant guitar solos, with the quality of the notes chosen and not the quantity...blues, rock and jazz

David Gilmour's solo from "Hey You" off The Wall is my favorite. It's short but extremely emotional and poignant to the song. It's not just added there for ego reasons.
Robert Fripp's absolutely beautiful solo in "The Hammond Song" from The Roches' self-title debut album has long been a favorite. It is understated, smoother than a newborn baby's bottom, and then, brilliantly, fails to stop when you think it's all over. I've played it hundreds of times, and it never fails to bring a smile. And, each time I've seen The Roches -- including just a couple of years back now -- I miss the solo when the three sisters sing what many fans (me included) consider to be their best song.
