Andrew York a great person, a great soul of light! God bless you my friend, and may your music always be this blessing that makes our soul shine. Thank you very much.🙏🙏🙏😍🙏

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much!

[@chrisbanner3013]

This is great. Two of my guitar heroes chatting and reminiscing. Thanks!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thanks for listening, Chris!

[@bernardlasalle6053]

Andrew, your KZbin creations over the past year have been eclectic, really interesting, and useful. Thank you!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Bernard. Glad you like what I do!

[@That52TeleGuy]

Being a Detroiter it was such a joy to hear Scott’s story. Always wondered how a classical talent came out of such a rock based town. Earl Klugh also a favorite.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, That52TeleGuy!

[@ebaakhamas4066]

Great musicians and wonderful people❤️

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Ebaa my friend!

Pumping Nylon and Andrew's "easier" pieces formed the backbone of my guitar education, and continue to bring me inspiration. Great interview. Greetings from Australia!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your kind message, Drew. Greetings from California!

[@Sarah-iv3ob]

Sat outside watching this in the spring sunshine. Terrific interview!! Thanks for sharing

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah!

[@gitarci213]

You have no idea what you mean to amateur classical guitarists living in another part of the world, thank you both for inspiring us🙏🙏🙏

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Eren!

Great interview. Quick remembrance here: Late 90's I guess. Time has a way of getting away form me. John, William, Scott and Andrew. They had chemistry those 4. Played a song(think it was called "On all Fours"). had the audience in the palm of their hand. Whole concert was perfect. Everyone at the church talked to the LAGQ. The way a concert should be. If you have a chance to get The Complete Guitar Works Joaquin Rodrigo, you must get it. This cat is the Gold Standard. So much power, joy, and expression in his playing. What a treasure!

[@allenhong205]

Thank you Andrew for inviting Scott here. this is an amazing message for your followers who care about these top influencers in this industry. Hope maybe next time see your content in a cafe with your performance about L’Ultimo Caffe Insieme or other pieces played by you and Scott.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thanks, Allen!

[@JonMinei]

Great interview! Love the both of you.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Jon my friend!

[@MichaelJazayeriMD]

The avocado story was priceless! Unfortunately I haven’t played guitar since my second child was born ( I need more than 24 hours in a day!), but I still remember the joy I had playing the Frog Galliard. Thank you Andrew and LAGQ for being great musicians AND human beings.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your beautiful comment, Michael!

[@rolandonavarro3170]

Two great masters. My best wishes from Colombia.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Rolando!

[@ericray7649]

Really terrific interview. I felt like a fly on the wall.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you, Eric. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@peterstewart2307]

What a joyous 25 minutes - so enjoyed that conversation. Two guys with an amazing history behind them and new paths yet to forge. I have to pinch myself to think I've spent some time with you both! The greatest gift you both give is your inspiration. Thank you.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your kind message, Peter!

[@guymartino4508]

I just loved this! Wonderful sitting at the table with you both. Thanks for letting us in ☺️

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Our pleasure, Guy!

[@RumichaCaballero]

It was a great experience about both career and also know some things about the quartet, the origins and so facts about master Tennant begginings!!!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Pedro!

[@simonhaynes3145]

Brilliant, thank you

[@owenmcgee8496]

Tennant's solo version of Tadic's "Walk Dance" on LAGQ's Air & Ground (which also features York's "Lotus Eaters") is still shockingly good to me. There's a York/Tennant duet on York's "Into Dark" album that's impressive. "Evening Dance" I think it was called. I remember discovering an Irish music record Anisa Angarola did once, and I have one she did with LAGQ where they did a few pieces they later redid with York. I wonder what she's doing now. I saw York in concert in Dublin once but missed a chance to see LAGQ (with Grief) live in Dublin around same time. At least I have the LAGQ Live dvd (with York) and someone gave me a programme, signed by the quartet.

[@MichaelTaylor-dr6gx]

Such a wonderful interview. I'm a huge fan of Scott's playing. LAGQ is a favorite. I became aware of them when you were with them. Fantastic!!!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it, Michael!

[@KentWoodsMusic]

This was a great conversation! Thank you both for sharing. I'm really enjoying all of your work Mr. York so thank you especially for the content!

[@okanoguitarstudio6249]

This was so much fun! Thanks for sharing this conversation. It doesn't seem possible that the Wyoming camp was nearly 20 years ago. But my daughter was about to start kindergarten that summer and she now holds a Bachelors of Music.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thanks so much!

[@glendalegeorge6412]

Love this, thank you guys. Very cool 😎

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Our pleasure, Glendale George!

[@nv0us]

Loved this. How time flies... Thank you for sharing, Andrew

[@martingrivetti5205]

Thank you Andrew for pulling this together. I enjoy you both and appreciate your talents and contribution to the classical guitar players and admires. Wish you both many more years of playing and entertaining the world.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Martin!

[@davidnefesh]

This is such fun and heartwarming conversation between two wonderful artists and buddies, thanks for sharing it!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it, David!

[@werdecurb]

Scott's avocado boiling story cracked me up!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Me too!

[@rayrobert307]

Very enjoyable conversation!! Don't know why I didn't realize you were part of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Listened to your group when played on classical KUSC radio, while driving and at work. Mentioning the Romeros brought back memories from my 20+ years of residing in Escondido. The Romeros had/still have(?) a compound in Del Mar and would on occasion play at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. They would bring the whole family to perform. Thank you for an entertaining chat with 'masters of the art' and stirring old, forgotten memories.........

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you for your beautiful comment, Ray. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MichaelChapdelaineofficial]

Lovely! Thank you, lads!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Michael!

[@BradConroy_guitar]

This is really great, thank you!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

My thanks to you for watching, Brad!

[@steveburdett7736]

Very enjoyable! Thanks

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve!

[@ronaldoquintos1675]

One day I looked up “easy classical guitar piece” I stumbled upon “Snowflight”, although it’s not exactly easy at least not for me but doable. What is amazing is it sound extremely difficult. Being a fan of Julian Bream I should have known you then, I’m glad I discovered you and couldn’t be more thankful. Novice classical guitar enthusiast and classical music fan from Houston Tx. Ronald.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Many thanks, Ronaldo!

[@00vTv00]

You guys need to keep this format going.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Will do

[@guit156]

Very nice. I recall seeing both of you perform with the LAGQ many years ago, and recall seeing you, Andrew, at the Cedar in Minneapolis at about the time you released After Dark. (A terrific album, btw.) I even have a copy of Pumping Nylon somewhere in my archives. Thank you for this. Cheers.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

My thanks to you for watching, MinnJohn!

[@maxsteinhoff]

First thing Scott does is through ou the manual - Then he goes on to write the best one in the market.

[@paulmadryga]

Yeah - Pretty righteous, that.

[@paulmadryga]

Avocados, Gypsies, and everything in between - those are some great stories! My take on _Pumping Nylon_, fwiw: It's clear, concise, easy to follow, as enjoyable to read as any guitar technique book could be, and not overloaded with every possible permutation of every possible exercise. I tell my students: if you can only afford one book on guitar technique, let it be this one. Thanks for this - I enjoyed it very much!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Paul!

[@masoodrahimpour]

😍😍👌👌

[@nazaninandante8324]

Dear Andrew will you please let me add Persian subtitles to this and share it on my Instagram page, PLEASE !!! 🥺

[@jbatlanta]

Disappointed Scott didn't mention his time with Joe Fava as his mentor while in Detroit.
