Nigel’s Published Book
Publishing your own book of guitar pieces doesn’t have to be just a dream. Not anymore.
Imagine what it would feel like to hold in your hands a book of pieces you had composed.
To know that you’ve contributed something lasting, unique and special that only you can create.
What Mozart and Bach said about composing
There are a lot of misconceptions about composing.
People often think that you need to be born with it.
Or unless your first composition is a masterpiece as good as Bach, you shouldn’t bother composing ever again.
Counterpoint: Melodic Conversations
Brahms was quoted as saying “without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind”.
People that haven’t tried to compose often think that it’s all about inspiration.
That only certain gifted and talented individuals can compose. (I used to think that too, until I tried to compose a piece with a focus on craft.)
