I figure I'll share too. I do it all sorts of ways.
Sometimes it'll start with a cool chord progression
and I'll build a lead off of that or sometimes I'll
have a cool melody line and mold everything to that.
Since my band is a trio I'm constantly keeping in mind
what the bass will be doing and how it'll fit in and
how it'll be keeping things interesting. I always
stay away from riff based I IV V (or variations of
that) progression songs. I really like minor trinity
stuff (I don't know much or anything about theory, but
I think that's what it's called). I like to use a
good mix between major and minor chords, but I don't
like it to come out sounding overtly happy. What I
really hate is going "Ok, this is how it's going to
go" and finalizing how a song is going to go because I
always feel that it has the potential to be better.
