I can see it now, “The 1 Note Solo?”
No, that’s not what this is supposed to be…
I do, often, say that rhythm is more important than notes. You can butcher most of the notes to a song and get the rhythms right, and people will recognize what you are going for…
On the other hand, if you play every note right, but in the wrong rhythms, it’s likely most people will have no idea what you were going for 🙁
But this is really about finding interesting new rhythms that aren’t necessarily double, or half, of what you’re currently playing.
Using some syncopation and some different rhythmic constructs, you can come up with stuff that sounds really cool, even with just one note (but more notes is better.)

interesting as always…wish you had your Single Barrel Band music with tabs and backing tracks…great sounds..
“thats not going to be that cool , lets face it he says ” hahahahah very good
Watch Gary Moore do this and somehow they all sound or feel a bit different
That was actually very cool use in the right place , takes feelin it right
Although I am a Type 2, I will definitely adopt the phrase “add a little sugar.” You have a wonderful way of presenting material and igniting our imaginations. Thanks.
What no tab for that beginning solo?😎
Finally! One I can play.
Me too! LMAO.
I’m going to have to watch this a few more times

where is your video on quarter note triplets i would like see it.
It will sure help your pick and strumming technique great lesson
o boy yeah its used i get that . how about using a note for each cord change? thats what could be interesting. dig it.
Clapton does great one note solos.
Sounds a bit like some Neil Young stuff. I always refer to him as King of the One Note Solo.
I agree about Neil. His one note solo while rocking back and forth with lots of grimacing makes it so cool.
