Submission Guidelines:

We accept submissions of original music or original arrangements of common domain music. We do not accept straight transcriptions of existing music; for instance, we would not accept "Lágrima" by F. Tárrega, but would accept "Lágrima" arranged for, say, two guitars or guitar and flute. We are focused on music for beginning guitar and guitar ensemble, especially music that can be used in teaching situations.

A one-time registration fee of $99 is required to gain access and upload scores, etc. An annual maintenance fee of $19 is due on the anniversary of the Registration date. Contributors can then upload files for their scores (PDF, Mp3) and manage their own catalogue and profile page. All submissions will be reviewed for accuracy and engraving quality.

We pay you 50% of the sale price for your scores. What's more, the agreement is non exclusive and you are free to also publish your music elsewhere!
