"Tennant fulfills every criterion: taste touch, interpretation, programming, insight and enjoyability!" - American Record Guide

Scott Tennant is considered to be one of the world's premiere guitar virtuosos, and is a favorite guest artist with orchestras, on music series, and at major guitar festivals around the world. He is a founding member of the Grammy-winning ensemble L.A. Guitar Quartet, now in their 30th year. He has made numerous recordings as a soloist on the GHA and Delos labels, and with members of the LAGQ he has recorded for GHA, Delos, Sony Classical, Windham Hill, Deutsche Grammaphon and Telarc labels. Their Telarc release LAGQ Latin was nomnated for a Grammy, and it was their Telarc title LAGQ's Guitar Heroes that won a Grammy as the best classical crossover recording of 2005.

Mr. Tennant is well known as a teacher and author, currently with eight books to his name. His first book, Pumping Nylon, is an advanced book on classical guitar technique and is used by students and teachers alike in most of the world's major guitar programs. It has attained a kind of "cult status," being hailed as the only book of its kind. He lives in the Los Angeles area, and is on the faculties of the USC Thornton School of Music, and the Pasadena Conservatory of Music.
