would you like a second opinion? I do alot of transcriptions and such that are really awkward for the guitar to play so I have a pretty good idea about that. The idea is to basically get the melody or harmony in the same position as the bass notes, it can be a pretty large stretch or even an awkward chord grouping, because we just get used to it. Esp. someone at the level of concerto's. But nothing too insane. That's the no.1 limitation of the guitar but also why it's so interesting to compose for. Basically if the entire things consists of chords straight from the piano the performer will piss off. also You can write in quick position changes if needed.

Hey guys, I'm new to this site but I was just wondering, me being a composition newbie but yet really anxious to learn, where do I begin? I am learning theory pretty in depth at the moment as well as ear training and playing my instrument(classical guitar). I do play piano decently as well. I have some books on harmony and counterpoint, but do I need to start like copying out works from well known composers or something? Like what do I need to be doing for practice besides the theory?I am doing a performance degree starting next year in guitar but I hope to get a master's in composition and really pursue that at some point. THANKS!
