Even if you never heard of Pat Martino or don't like jazz you should be able to appreciate these guitar licks.

My Guitar teacher in the late 60’s must have been a big fan. I think Sunny was one of the first songs he taught me.

I mixed up stories. I meant to post the NPR link. The title was from NPR but the story link was DownBeat. The NPR story link is below and a little more detailed.

My first guitar that I learned to play Sunny on, never should have sold it :( https://reverb.com/p/gibson-melody-maker-3-slash-4-1959-1960

Oh now, one of my fav’s.

The Pat Martino Trio version of Sunny with John Scofield (Joey DeFrancesco and Byron Landham - Umbria Jazz 2002) is just really cool.

He was good in Happy Days and as the guy in the movie who trains the kid in chop suey.... : )

Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t heard any of the Pat Martino story until now. As a kid I used to read about different guitar players in Guitar Player magazine. Somewhere along the line I bought his 1976 Joyous Lake album. It’s good!

My wife and I went to see him at the Blue Note in Fukuoka , Japan about 15 years ago . It was just after he released Remember: A Tribute to Wes Montgomery . I got an aisle seat near the dressing room . I turn my head to the right and I see him walking out on his way to the stage . Reached out my hand to shake his and he shook it . Phenomenal performance . R.I.P.
