When you make some consistent stuff for a while you will naturally be able to develop the particular skills you were practicing as a second nature, is also a good idea to compose over a score editor so you can see everything written and make playbak and figure out why something isn´t working.

Arranging isn't always easy process, you experiment with different sounds, riffs, melodies, and find the best solution. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Some I strongly suggest are : - Music notation (to learn about music stuff and writing notes) - Modern Chord Voicings - Arranging for small band ensemble - Arranging for large band ensemble Then there is basic Arranging books that are used as beginner course at Berklee - Arranging 1 - Arranging 2 - Arranging 3 - Arranging 4 Besides these you can get books on how to use Finale, Digital performer and kinds of music notation software.
