Pumping Nylon: A Classical Guitarist's Technique Handbook (Book, DVD & Online Audio, Video & Software) Spiral-bound – 24 Jan. 2016

Great book with tons of information and exercises to improve left and right hand technique. I had not played guitar for a while and was shocked at how much ability I had lost in both hands, having been an advanced player before. I also use Tarrgs's technical exercises to boost my technique but this book was brilliant. There are so many exercises that you can pick and choose which ones to work on such as improving slurs, accuracy and stretching the left hand and improving your reach. Lots of right hand exercises such as improving accuracy, I found I was hitting the wrong strings having lost the automatic memory for this. There is now a great improvement. All in all a very useful technical book to have.

this is well worth the investment. certainly an ongoing addition for someone working through the early/mid years of learning the classical guitar

As described. Helpful for refining technical aspects of classical guitar playing.

Getting on OK with this but some of the exercises in the book are not described in enough detail for me to make sense of them.Now there is a DVD that can go with this and I've currently borrowed this from my teacher but I have to say unfortunately that the DVD navigation is amongst the worst I've ever seen. If I want to go to a video for a specific section of the book it's almost impossible. For starters, the 'top menu' features an unskippable section of Scott playing that lasts for minutes. Like every time you go back to the menu. I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea.Edit: gave it 3 stars when I was annoyed about the DVD navigation, a bit harsh, it's a good book

Recommended by my daughters guitar teacher.

Its a great book but not easy, makes you work.

Bought as a gift, based on the author`s reputation. The recipient was very pleased.

Great price, great service
