Book Reviews of Pumping Nylon
Book Review: The best technique book ever!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the most down to earth yet extension technique book I have ever seen. You must own this book! It provides not only knowledge but inspiration provided by Scott Tenant's incredible playing. I've dabbled in fingerstyle for a while but now I'm totally switching to classical after playing electric for twenty years. I was brought up on Van Halen, Rhoads and Malmsteen so I know the benefits of great technique, as I got older I appreciated Clapton, Buchanon and other 'soulful' players so I appreciate expression as well. This book will help with both technical and expressive aspects of your playing. It will help you acheive the expressiveness of Segovia while garnering the technique of Eliot Fisk. I've heard complaints about the lack of metronome markings but as Scott says 'not everyone is going to play at the same speed.' This book will enable you to get the most out of your ability. I am so happy I purchased it. To have a world class virtuoso pouring out his knowledge of the instrument for two hours at my disposel is truly truly priceless!!!!!Book Review: Thumb up
Summary: 4 Stars
A must if you are interested in getting into Bach Lute Suites For Guitar (Classical Guitar Series). If you are playing Bach's Lute Suites and are having difficulties---like me, this book will help.Book Review: Two thumbs up (with nails shaped the way S. Tennant says)!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is very concerning to me that someone would find such problems with this book. I am of course referring to the gentleman from Los Alamitos and his thoughts on the book. Please remember that there is a big difference between someone who "plays professionally" and a serious student or concert artist. Students and pros should absolutely have this book in their library.Book Review: Worth the money

I am at the intermediate beginner level. Just the one tip on elbow position, which helped tremendously with my barre chords, made this book worth the money. I just wish I knew that the DVD was not included when I ordered. But a great book for technique nonetheless.Book Review: book
