Review: Excellent resource for serious classical guitar students. - This is a fantastic book that covers a multitude of techniques as well as providing some excellent studies. So far I have only just scratched the surface. Review: Pumping Nylon - 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. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 274,659 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 234 in Musical Theory & Composition Exercises 258 in Classical Music (Books) 339 in Guitars | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 469 Reviews | ## Images ![Pumping Nylon: A Classical Guitarist's Technique Handbook (Book & Online Audio) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KNAejaMKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource for serious classical guitar students. *by M***E on 9 October 2025* This is a fantastic book that covers a multitude of techniques as well as providing some excellent studies.
