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

Check out acoustic guitar work by David Rawlings on any of the Gillian Welch recordings. Their recent "The Harrow & the Harvest" album is a perfect example of what you're talking about.
I've always liked Andy Latimer (Camel - check out "Ice"), and Mark Knopfler (Solo work - check out "Our Shangri-La") for this reason. For that matter David Gilmour is also a less is more soloist.
Check out David Gilmour Live at Royal Albert Hall (DVD) (2-disc)...very tasty w/o flash. I would also say Vince Gil takes a similar approach, though his songs are a wee bit different than Gilmour's.
