Biography
Scott Tennant is a founding member of the Grammy®-winning ensemble L.A. Guitar Quartet, and is himself considered to be one of the world’s top classical guitarists.
Mr. Tennant has authored several books and articles on guitar technique, including his best-seller Pumping Nylon, which has attained a “cult” classic status. He has made numerous recordings as a soloist on the GHA and Delos labels, and with the LAGQ he has recorded for GHA, Delos, Sony Classical, Windham Hill, Deutsche Grammophon and Telarc labels. Their Telarc release “LAGQ Latin”was nominated for a Grammy®, and it was their current Telarc title “LAGQ’s Guitar Heroes” which won a Grammy® as the best classical crossover recording of 2005.

He is well-known for his recordings of the music of Joaquín Rodrigo, and equally praised for his interpretations of the music from the renaissance and classical periods. Upcoming projects include a five-volume classical guitar method, a recording/tribute to the late maestro Andrés Segovia, as well as instructional videos on advanced guitar techniques.

He lives in Pasadena, and is on the faculty at the USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles, California.
