do any of you make songs?

alright alright then you must start with a guitar riffs!! for that what i do is listen a lot of songs on mi ipod and cut 1 mini riff of one song that i like and put together with other mini riff thats not a hard way or may you can try a day long to make a little intro in guitar piano or bass the drums comes later xD

i think first you have to write the letter of the song what i always do and it works its go for a walk to the street to the park etc... then i place a white paper in front of me and then i write the things i saw like a boy happy or eating a candy... then i just put the words or idea together. Its not so easy but its a good way

I'm like Mondoh in this. I jam on my guitar, total improvisation, after awhile I notice I play some riffs over and over... Then I write a song around it.

I usually noodle around on my guitar & come up w/unique chord progression or a line, then I write lyrics, usually drawn from whatever I am going thru at the time.... AC

I always write lyrics first and then make music that fits the lyrics. I find this a lot easier than doing it the other way around. Because if you make the music first and then try to find lyrics that fit the music, you often limit the words you can use and sometimes can't fully express your thoughts in the lyrics. I'm a drummer, so when I jam with my friends I can pretty much just make up stuff right on the spot. I don't know anything about writing guitar riffs. I do know that for soloing on the guitar though, you can often get away with playing random notes on the pentatonic scale and it sounds pretty good when you do that.
