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

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?

This is the correct answer. of course there has to be at least one exception. It's a LOUD and fast music.
