Signatures have a 255 character limit that I could abuse, but I am not Cecil B. DeMille.

Ain't that about all, cute and disturbing at the same time. Didn't think that could exist outside of Anime.

I vote for Paul Kossoff. He could play volumes with few notes.
Don't you boys know any NICE songs?

I like sub- or super melodic themes, like the Wings example ^^.. I like all that George Harrison stuff from 70-75. Doubled slide and/or leslie kind of just hammering the point.
May be corny, but you can't deny Mr. Harrison's excellent guitar backed by super ALL STARS. Absolutely loved the guitar as a kid...

Hell yeah!
With that vibrato, he could say more with one note than most can in a whole set.

Not really know for playing few notes, when Andy Powell does it it's just brilliant. His reprise solo in Blowin Free (around 2:53) is one of my favorites using just a hand full of notes.

Coming Apart is a demo on a drum loop with Greg singing and I am the band. Never got real drums. Ehh. I like it when the piano closes the phrase.

It's sadder than it is happy but I am glad people like it.

Thanks, Andrew. It's all just noises. :)
