\u201cYears ago, I wanted to do a Segovia tribute album featuring a few of his original pieces, some of his arrangements, and music I\u2019d played for him in master classes,\u201d Scott Tennant tells me sitting on the couch in his Los Angeles apartment. \u201cThat was my strategy until I played Segovia\u2019s Ramirez guitar.\u201d A chance encounter with the Maestro\u2019s historic 1969 Ramirez at Guitar Salon International (GSI) in Santa Monica, California, altered Tennant\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d just finished a videotaping session playing various guitars at GSI when the re- cording engineer, Kai Narezo, said GSI had just bought a Ramirez guitar once owned by Segovia,\u201d Tennant recalls. \u201cHe asked if I wanted to try it. I was pretty tired and half-heartedly said, \u2018Sure.\u2019\u201d But after playing it for a few moments, Tennant told Narezo that it was the best guitar he\u2019d ever played. Tennant knew that he needed this instrument for his Segovia recording.<\/p>\n
