You don’t judge a great painting by how many colours have been crammed onto a small canvas, so why should you judge a great guitar solo by how many notes have been crammed into a small space of time?
A great painting is one in which the colours have been sensibly and creatively used, in context, to create something that is pleasing to the eye. So surely a great guitar solo should be one in which the notes have been sensibly and creatively used, in context, to create something that is pleasing to the ear. Just as very few colours can be used to great effect, so can very few notes.
