I think there's quite a few of these. Near the end you're allowed one or two extras, but it should be mostly a single noteSo Boredom by the Buzzcocks doesn't count as its 2 notes
1. Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode 2. The Prisoners - Who's Sorry Now3. The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now4. Glenn Campbell - Witchia Lineman

9. The solo on "Cinnamon Girl"
― Darin, Thursday, 30 June 2011 19:07 (fourteen years ago)
there has to be more psychedelic stuff. drones, feedback,sure, as long as it has rhythms..not just a continuous sound
― Dr X O'Skeleton, Thursday, 30 June 2011 19:10 (fourteen years ago)
uh there's a lot more than one note in Down By The River
― a man is only a guy (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 30 June 2011 19:12 (fourteen years ago)
its the first part of Down by the River solo, i guess. I'm interested in seeing how long it can be sustained and still grip
― Dr X O'Skeleton, Thursday, 30 June 2011 19:18 (fourteen years ago)
I meant the first part of the solo, not the whole thing.

14. Guitar solo in "Over The Edge" by The Wipers
― Synth Solo (Matt #2), Thursday, 30 June 2011 19:42 (fourteen years ago)
15. Rheostatics - "King of the Past" has a guitar solo in it that has one section where Martin's just wringing different tonalities out of the same note, and while he does definitely play other notes, that note still outweighs all the others throughout.

How long are we talking about? A measure? One minute?
I'm wondering the same thing because I hear more than one note in any guitar break on "Johnny B. Goode".

Shagg's "Philosophy of the World" has four notes hit several times. In the memory it gives the impression of two notes.
― bamcquern, Thursday, 30 June 2011 20:49 (fourteen years ago)
After The Flood by Talk Talk has over a minute of what sounds like a guitar feedback solo on one note, although it might be a treated version of that keyboard they used to use that sounded a bit like a guitar.

There's a middle section of a guitar solo in Eurhythmics' "Conditioned Soul" that's a single note--the most memorable part, even though the rest is pretty flashy.

There must be a dozen Joey Santiago solos that do this. Probably a few Marc Ribot solos, too.

Doesn't one of the Buzzcocks' singles have a one note solo? Can't remember which...
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 1 July 2011 00:41 (fourteen years ago)
sorry, two notes 66 times, so sayeth Wikipedia:"Boredom", probably the EP's most well-known song, announced punk's rebellion against the status quo while templating a strident musical minimalism (the guitar solo consisting of two notes repeated 66 times, ending with a single modulated seventh.)[4]
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 1 July 2011 00:55 (fourteen years ago)
that's some good writin' btw!
not a solo per se, but you gotta admire Neil Young (yeah him again) for playing a total of 4 notes TOTAL throughout the entirety of Buffalo Springfield's "Everydays"

Red House Painter's cover of Silly Love Songs has about 20 seconds of awesome one-note riffage.
― Hallway, Friday, 1 July 2011 07:30 (fourteen years ago)
Death Cab for Cutie's Blacking Out The Friction has a one-note guitar part pretty much all the way through iirc.
