Great one note solos

[trustybs]

Hi, sometimes (very) less is more.  So, il love great songs with great one note solos.
I start with the obvious

And another of my favorites

Any other one note solo songs that you like?

I've written like 17 songs with one note solos, and proud to say, I nailed every one of them in one take  .

In all seriousness, there's lots of songs that I think have great "sparse" solos (as in the right number of notes to suit the song), but I can't think of any great one note solos.

Not a one note solo, but stick with me here: the solo on Psychic Wars by BOC is f'n brilliant. This was one of the first guitar solos I ever noticed way back when I was maybe...10yo?

Such a great, great cover!

It's not quite a solo, but this song has a fantastic one-note piano part (okay, it's an octave, but still) in the bridge:

Lots of sparse playing going on here, but not sure if it's all one note with bends and vibrato or hammer-on's too.

Hey, I embedded a video!!
