RE: Transcribing piano to guitar (in reply to Filip)

Hello Filip, interesting question. Once I tried to arrange Chopin piano music to guitar. The main problem I faced, in guitar there are four fingers on one hand to sound notes, on piano, there are ten fingers (six is easily available) and two independent hands. On piano one can get four-five octaves easily, on guitar even more than two octaves are problematic. Therefore on piano one can play even four independent melodies at once, or six-eight note harmonies. It's nearly impossible to achieve on guitar. This is the maximum I can get: a fair implementation of the main melody line, with a correct but mostly simplified bass line, and one or two harmony notes from the original chords which I can play on the fretboard between the two main lines. The result was a recognizable but very poor sounding implementation of the original. It was a very interesting challenge, but I found too much difference in the two instrument to make a valuable result. And I still feel the same, listening to other arrangements from piano to guitar.
