Our good old wiki explains you what an etude is.
 When I write an etude, I normally just fool round with my guitar. When it sounds good, I keep it. Sometimes, I prefer however to open Guitar Pro and just start with a chord. I think about what could go next and still stay classic, I don´t intergrate any jazzy elements. I think that you need to have basic knowledge of theory to compose an etude or whatever. Cadences, chord positions on your guitar and so on. I hope this helps. Edit: DeepRoots finished first.

You can take a minor scale and a harmonic minor scale, and compose etude using these scales. Like Dejan and others already said, with etude it's all about what you wanna practice really. If you wanna do some arpeggios, then compose a small number of chords, and play arpeggios on top of them. This way you will compose a small arpeggio etude using some minor scale. Or you can for example practice alternate runs in harmonic minor scale, so you can make a progression, and play runs on top of it. This way you will make a alternate picking harmonic minor etude. These are all components that can help you later to make neoclassical songs, and I think you wanna make a neoclassical song/arrangement, not etude.

Etudes are study pieces focusing mainly on technique. Most guitar etudes written in the 19th century, (since this period was the golden age of the guitar), centered on a technical right hand and/or left hand fingering pattern. Look at the Giuliani Right Hand Exercises Gerardo has been posting. Each one of these 120 short exercises focuses on a right hand fingering pattern. Villa-Lobos, a 20th century classical guitar composer, wrote twelve etudes for guitar. Many of his etudes concentrated on right hand fingering patterns as well.
If you wanted to write an electric guitar etude, you could possibly select a major and/or minor five-string arpeggio shape and compose a piece concentrating on the right hand sweeping across five strings. You could also compose an etude for the left hand that focused on playing thirds up and down a major scale – three notes per string. The possibilities are endless. You could really think of any technical issue guitar players are faced with and write an etude around it. -------------------- Classical And Electric Guitar Instructor
