Scott Tennant Interview

During my first year of undergrad the LAGQ visited. I was about two months into playing classical guitar. I didn’t even own a guitar recording; I had no clue what the instrument could do. The LAGQ concert was my first guitar concert, and I left inspired.

I remember watching Scott Tennant closely. I was amazing by the things he was doing. It was a privilege to talk with one of the guitarists who inspired me to play pursue classical guitar as a career.

In addition to kicking ass on guitar, Scott also writes a blog, maintains a Facebook page, and tweets.
