Upon its first publication in 1995, Pumping Nylon became an instant
classic and a must-have technique handbook for all classical guitarists,
and many players of other styles as well. Scott Tennant's encouraging
style, sense of humor, and unique approach to technical training have
garnered Pumping Nylon devotees throughout the world. At the heart of it
all is the famous Daily Warm-Up Routine," which includes 11 clever,
helpful exercises to get both hands in shape and ready to play while
improving your technical skills. The invaluable lessons in technique are
supplemented by Giuliani's 120 Right-Hand Studies, Tarrega arpeggio
studies, and examples from music by Bach, Turina, and Rodrigo. In
addition, original compositions by guitar luminaries Brian Head and
Andrew York reinforce the material while also providing concert-worthy
repertoire. This new, improved second edition of Pumping Nylon
incorporates even more great material with new pieces by Evan
Hirschelman, Guiliani's Left Hand Etudes, Op. 1, and new technical
exercises in tremolo and balancing chord voicings. The music engravings
have been improved for easier reading, and a brand new correlating, high
definition DVD has been created and all of the media is available
online! If Pumping Nylon is already part of your library, it's time for
an upgrade!
Pumping Nylon (Second Edition) is even better than the original. If
you're just now finding Scott Tennant's masterpiece, this is a great
opportunity to jump on board and start enjoying this classic book. Your
practice routine and technical prowess will improve, and you'll have fun
as you learn."
