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 is a favorite guest artist on music series and major guitar festivals around the world. Past seasons have taken him to such festivals in Ubeda (Spain), Milan, Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Osaka, Paris, Orleans, Ansbach and Wetzlar (Germany), Bergen (Norway), Amsterdam, Mexico, Dundee, Bath (UK) among others all over the United States and Canada. He 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 Joaqu�n Rodrigo, and equally praised for his interpretations of early music and the guitar�s classical repertoire. Projects currently underway include a five-volume classical guitar method for Alfred Music/Workshop Arts, and new independently produced recordings and instructional videos (available in mid-2008), as well as transcription publications, which will be released by Tennant�s own Plainsong Music.

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