First, I should better define the terms Transcription and Arranging; these are frequently confused.
Ttranscription can refer either to the act of writing down a music work (from a recording or performance) or to preparing a work for one instrument for another while making few changes/additions (i.e. preparing a piece written for tuba for performance by a Flute - we must move the pitches higher!).
Arranging implies there are additional changes/additions/reductions made to a work in order to perform a composition on a new instrument (for instance, orchestral compositions performed on the guitar).
A few tips:
If you wish to transcribe a recording of a guitar work in order to perform it yourself, work just a few bars at a time. Listen first, then try to find the same notes on your own instrument & write them down- noteheads first, adding rhythms/stems later. You may wish to explore software that would allow you to slow the recording down in order to do so.
On the other hand, if you wish to perform a work for another instrument(s) on the classical guitar, you must first obtain the written score/part. Then, consider transposing the work to a suitable key for guitar (Guitars in standard tuning are best suited to Keys employing Sharps!). Finally, the real challenge is to determine which notes from the original are vital to a composition and which notes you may eliminate!
Have fun!
