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 Joaquin 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, new
independently produced CD recordings and instructional videos
(available in
mid-2008), as well as transcription publications. All of these will be
with
Tennant’s own Plainsong Music. He lives
in the Los Angeles area, and is on the faculty at the USC Thornton
School of
Music.
