Biggest influence with the least amount of notes played

So following on from who has been a big influence upon on us, with the least amount of recorded material - Then how about who has influenced us the most, with maybe the least contribution of notes played - Surely BB King stands alone on this - Barely played a chord - And only played a few notes/licks - Yet the talk of the town

I'd probably add JJ Cale to that - But JJ was more of a singer/song writer who embellished his songs with a chosen licks/solos, as against being an out and out guitar player

To me you've just closed the thread with your own first comment.

None finer.

Exactly. We can end this here I reckon

In terms of solos and notes, a massive influence on me is Neil Young. Especially the one note solo to Cinnamon Girl!

If it's the same note every time then I'm going with Slayer 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-6-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-6-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Elvis, barely played a note on the damn thing.

Easily my wife. She's never played a single note on a guitar in her life but undoubtedly exerts great influence on me when she demands I stop playing.
