guitar solos where less is more

Wasn't it BB King who said, "It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play."? (or something closely approximating that).

Lindsey Buckingham on F/M's "The Chain".
Zappa, "Orange County Lumber Truck" on Weasels Ripped My Flesh
Zappa, "Holiday in Berlin, Full Blown". Latter part of the track after the schmaltzy sax stuff. He gets the groove down. Don't know if it is "less" but it sure is "more" for me.

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.

Peter Green at the end of Peter Gabriel's Sky Blue on UP. It might be only two or
three notes repeated...but they're the right few notes with just the right amount
of distortion. Lot of emotional weight in very little space.
