I write music, but rarely do I ever write words to it. A good friend of mine often writes words to my stuff though. As far as writing music goes, sometimes I write something based on theory and sometimes I completely through the theory out the window and just go with whatever sounds good. Sometimes I even make up chords and don't really think about what I'm playing. It just depends on thekind of mood I'm in. Sometimes it depends on the amount of whisky in my veins [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img].
A good experiment to try - put your guitar in a tuning that you are unfamiliar with and just start playing. You may get beautiful music or you may get sh*t, perhaps a mixture of the two.
