Del Puckett is a different kind of guitarist. He plays very aggressively and often uses various percussive and tapping techniques. He is constantly pushing the envelope of what is acceptable. Del's playing typically contains a certain "sense of humor" as he doesn't take himself very seriously and believes that playing guitar should be."Fun!"



Born and raised in the high mountain desert of Albuquerque NM, Del Puckett's musical horizon spans from Smooth and Silky

Jazz to Extreme and Flat-Picking. Del enjoys a wide range of musical genres and posseses a versatile command of his instrument. Flavors of Blues, Modern Rock, Classical and Celtic Finger-style can be found in many of Del Puckett's original compositions.



Del operates out of his home recording studio located in Rio Rancho,

NM. His most recent CD "Love Never Fails" features some very well crafted

instrumental arrangements infused with catchy melodies and infectious

grooves.



In 2001, Del helped co-found Albuquerque's own "Soular". Soular's

sound was a unique blend of British Atmospheric Rock and Modern Pop. During his time with Soular, Del recorded several CD's including "Time and

Space", which sold over 10,000 copies. Time and Space received airplay

on over 130 stations around the country and charted on the CMJ Radio

200 for more than two months.



In 2000, one of Del's Jazz instrumentals "IPO" - (Initial Public Offering) charted 1 on MP3.com's Jazz chart.
