How may I compose classical guitar music?

Question

I have been studying a very good book by David Braid on how to master the classical guitar. But so far I still don't understand some aspects. I can't seem to figure why a song sounds good and why a song would not sound good. I have made a few small studies, but I still don't know why some notes put together in certain way sound good but in another one sound bad.

Is there any free method book on how to compose including explanation of symbols ect...? Maybe something that explains the intervals and half/whole steps and also includes scales explanation.

thanks!

Here's your problem: "I have made a few small studies..." There's no way in God's green earth that you're gonna understand everything with just a few small studies man. I've been playing guitar for 4 years and I still don't understand it all. My best friend has been playing for 12 years and HE doesn't even understand it all yet. There's no way for you to just pick up on it so fast.

And as to answer your bad note/good note question: it's all in the way the sounds compliment each other.
