doesn't matter, some doosh will just diss the whole thing because I used the "wrong drums."
Ah, so true. But then again, you can just ignore that and not post anything on the forum and just keep it for your own enjoyment.

I use Powertab just to make sure the ideas i'm coming out with don't sound like shit if i try to harmonise them or layer up different melodies
Step 1: compose intro riff
Step 2: pair with second riff
Step 3: get stumped, give up
Step 4: start over
If i don't have atleast the 3 riffs i'm gonna use in the song within the first 5/8 minutes i useally throw them away asap and start over or stop.
Well that's crap. Plenty of great songs were born without being written in 5-8 minutes. WTF?
Hey man, relax. Everybody's got their way of doing it.
Another example : one of my best friends that plays acoustic guitar music (kinda like pop folk, whatever) writes most of his songs in one day and they're pretty complete, original, and everything.

I start out with a beat.. then a good decent intro to get the mood going and work from there.
Most of the time it's chorus -> couplet and some bridges and a outro for my stuff.
