Many good guitar solos are a modified form of the vocal line. The guitarist plays the same basic line, but uses instrumental ornaments to own it. Try using a harmonized solo line (like the one in Linda Rhonstadt's "When Will I Be Loved") to create a dynamic sound.
If you are in a band and you are a singer-songwriter, try letting the lead guitarist experiment with an instrumental line. If you are the guitarist, try your own experiments; just sit and noodle on your guitar to arrive at something that moves you. Instrumentalists tend to know best what sound an instrumental line needs.

Well, when I started writing years ago, I used theory, 1 -4-5 or 1-3-5 methods, but I hit a point where I would "feel" the energy an "groove" and where it should go. After you get the rythm down, record it and listen back to it. A song is like a life, its gonna grow how it grows, so don't say this is a song about love etc etc, or you will stiffle your creativity. While listening to the recorded song, try the lyrics you've written, keep a first draft cause it will change. You could also use "scat" ( skipety be bop ect. to figure out sylables and length of verses and chorus' till you get words that make sence and fit. Thats the ways I do it and it takes practice to get these methods down, if your worried about being "technically correct", well, those are the songs that do not portray anything to the listener. ( Take Kenny G an Yanni for example compared to The doors, Hendrix, and others.
Good luck, and most importantly, if your getting nowhere, leave it and come back fresh the next day, or a few days later.

I always used to write the lyrics first and then just strum away and it would just come together....after playing the phrases for awhile it would just morph itself.
Another way is to think of what you want to write about and just strum and sing together until something comes out. Then you can modify the lyrics and melody as you go along.
OR are you asking for a formula like A, A, B, C, A, A. C?
Those are not chords but the structure of the verses.

how bout this one if i write someone else song the stranger who is typeing this will change the station and when i think of something its already been thought of so i need something original but all the strings have been plucked before i want to romance the neibor chick but my fingers seem to not play as well as when im by myself so i blast the music only to hear something similar in the future and the music i play does not even come close to jimmys skills but there is so many people with gituars and concerts are bad for the environment but i dont have so much money that i can pull out of my hiney alternative energy concerto so i wonder how the big stars stop listening to the naysayers and made music for them self now sing this to yourself

When song writing the best method would be listen to what you hear in your head and write it down. Even if it sucks you will eventually come up with something good.

i'm assuming your fixing for w? a million = w - 6 (utilized the detrimental interior parenthesis) w = a million + 6 (upload 6 to different element of equals to cancel on w section) answer: w = 7 try this for something of the numbers.
