guitar solos where less is more

Hey Marty - glad someone else agrees. Love how The Chain just builds. re the Zappa, for those that might be interested but don't know, "Holiday in Berlin" is from Burnt Weenie Sandwich. Another great FZ solo to be found there as well is on the track, "The Little House I Used to Live In."...about 4:15 in and right before Sugar Cane sets sail.

Ghost.

Burnt Weenie is still my favorite FZ record. I guess our taste does overlap a fair bit.

Any and All B.B. King in Blues. Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell in Jazz. No one in Rock. I am sure I missed some in Blues and Jazz.

Rok,

Kinda curious how you reached this conclusion ("no one in rock"). Was this via a comprehensive survey of rock guitar solos, or is it something inherent in rock music that prevents rock guitar players from producing "less is more" solos of the type that players in jazz and blues are able to produce?
