Monthly Motivation-Joe Puma
Joe Puma is another guitar player that I have a hard time not picking up my guitar after listening to one of his recordings. A friend gave me a copy of “The Jazz Guitar of Joe Puma” about 10 years ago and it’s been one of my favorites since. This song in particular is great motivation to practice.

Motivating indeed! I need to give Puma some more ear time. I love what he does at about 1:05 into this track. It’s a simple, lyrical riff, but manages to shift gears at just the right time. It’s a wonderful tune as well, one that some really top guitarists have tackled over the years. Thanks for the post!
