Writing for the Concert Electric Guitar is a technical handbook conceived as a practical resource for composers interested in writing idiomatically for the electric guitar within contemporary art music.
The handbook combines analytical discussion, notational guidance, and practice-based examples, addressing instrumental morphology, tuning systems, register, extended techniques, modular effects, and performance-related considerations.
Several sections of this website introduce selected topics explored in depth in the handbook through audiovisual examples and contextual commentary.
