I've been playing my electric guitar lately, and been coming up with some....meh, ok tunes.
What inspires you when you composing music? For me, I just play around on the fret board, picking some random cords until I start stringing some together that sound decent. My problem is that I start falling back to the basic power cords, which sounds ok as kind of a filler, but for real "hooks", I try and mix in some true cords.
Tips?
Also, I feel like I need to state my setup, how minor it is. I have a Fender Stratacaster with light blue body, Line6 Spider IV15 amp, and I use a Line6 Backtrack+mic for recording.
