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 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." Review: Great for intermediate classical guitar players! - If you are serious about getting better playing classical guitar this book is a must! It has a lot of skill building songs as well as the Giuliani exercises. Spiral bound so it lies well on music stands. Review: Chock full of information to help the classical guitarist get more skilled - First, I bought the Kindle version, thinking it would be handy to have the book on Kindle but no, as usual, Kindle renditions of books with pictures are annoying. Pictures, as in the images of the staves of music, which cannot be enlarged so are practically unreadable except if you have a large Kindle and even then.... I get PDF's of music all the time and it's not an issue--only Kindle book-to-MOBI seems to forget that some images need to be larger. So DON'T GET THE KINDLE verions. I ended up buying the spiral-bound version and I'm quite happy about that. The book stays open on the music stand or I can copy out the pages I need for lessons and put them in my page protectors. Why? We write notes on the pages in pencil. Or I don't want to bring a pile of books to lesson, so a few pages are all I need. Easy to copy out for my own use, and you can't print out Kindle pages, either. The contents--well, no one like Scott Tennant for effortless classical guitar technique. The exercises, slurs, pull-offs, right hand agility, left hand agility, stretches (or extensions as you cellists might call them), and also music are here, with comments from Tennant about how and why. And illustrations about nail shape for filing various kinds of nail configurations. The book comes with DVD so you can go online or look at the DVD for dynamic illustration of the techniques. My instructor gave me a set of warm-ups that I recognized were variations of Pumping Nylon, so rather than rely on memory on what to do, this book is a handy guide to illustrate the things to do before jumping into playing a piece.

It's clever, and has many novel and challenging exercises. I heard from other players that it was well loved and extensively used and I can see why. There's a nice companion video that I've seen on YouTube. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pumping Nylon: The Classical Guitarist's Technique Handbook, Book & Online Audio (Pumping Nylon Series) - The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method - Volume 1: Guitar | The Art and Technique of the Classical Guitar | Book for Beginners | Sheet Music and Exercises for Skill Development - Solo Guitar Playing - Book 1, 4th Edition - Music Theory Book - Guitar Lessons for Beginners --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33991998-pumping-nylon-the-classical-guitarists-technique-handbook-book-and-online](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33991998-pumping-nylon-the-classical-guitarists-technique-handbook-book-and-online) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
