“PRACTICE DOES NOT MAKE PERFECT.
PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERRFECT”
Welcome to the second installment of the repertoire supplements to Pumping Nylon. As the subtitle indicates, these pieces are more advanced than the repertoire in the previous installment. They are primarily concert pieces instead of the shorter, more pedagogical etudes presented in the wy to EarLy Intermediate book. Therefore, the pieces tend to be longer and much more substantial. Consider this book to be a brief representation of the types of pieces that contain specific technique-building elements (such as concentrated scales, left-hand slurs, arpeggios, tremolo and the like). When practiced correctly and with the proper intent, they will aid in developing your guitar-playing skills. In our continuing quest to serve you something new and tasty to consume, we have made an effort to put some newer pieces on your plate. We hope to not only help you enjoy significant progress, but to also open your eyes and ears to new, delightful concert pieces to perform for the enjoyment of others. A "checklist" of specific issues upon which to focus-such as technical and/or musical challenges, fingering and practicing tips-precedes each piece. If taken to heart, these pieces should be of great benefit to you. As always, it is a good idea to check your progress with a teacher when problems arise, as there is no ideal substitute for expert advice. As in Pumping Nylon, I encourage you to take the ideas presented in each piece and expand on them yourself. Find other pieces that will further help you overcome any obstacles. You have what it takes to play anything, and with some mindful practice, you will!

About the Author
Scott Tennant's reputation as a performer and teacher is known worldwide. His accolades include becoming the first American ever to win the first prize in the Tokyo International Guitar Competition in 1989, and silver-medal performances in both the 1988 Concours International de Guitare of Radio France in Paris and the 1984 Toronto International Competition. He is recording the complete solo guitar works of Joaquin Rodrigo for GHA records, including the concertos with Leo Brouwer conducting the Cordoba Symphony Orchestra. His debut solo release for Delos, "Wild Mountain Thyme," is a recording of Celtic music for the classical guitar. Born in Detroit in 1962, Scott began playing the guitar at six years of age. During his junior high and high school years, he studied classical guitar with Lee Dyament and Joe Fava. Also while growing up in Detroit, he began taking flamenco lessons with Juan Serrano. When Maestro Serrano moved to California, Scott replaced him as the accompanist for the Maria del Carmen Dance Company. He also played the bass trombone in his high school concert band and the violin in the school orchestra. Scott moved to Los Angeles in 1980 to attend the University of Southern California, where he studied with Pepe Romero and James Smith. It was during this time that the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet was formed (then the U.S.C. Guitar Quartet), and he has been touring and recording with the group ever since. As a student there, he performed in the master classes of such luminaries as Joaquin Rodrigo and Andres Segovia. He now teaches as a member of the faculty at U.S.C. The Quartet can be heard on their recordings for GHA, Delos and Sony Classical.
There is a compact disc available for this book. It includes performances of all the pieces by Scott Tennant except Rasgueado Exercise in Solea and Alzapua and Thumb Study in Solea, which are performed by Adam del Monte. Use it to help insure that you are interpreting the rhythms correctly and capturing the style of each work. The symbol above will appear to the left of each piece. The track numbers below the symbols correspond to the piece you want to hear. Enjoy!
