I don't know if anyone on here is gonna know anything about writing music but I was wondering if anyone has any tips on writing music with guitar. I can write lyrics but not music. I've tried writing some music but it usualy ends up very badly. So any tips? (link)
I recommend just spending awhile just playing other peoples music and singing their stuff. There are a lot of websites that you can get chord progressions off of for free. You can get a feel for playing while you sing, then after you get a hang of it start just experimenting by singing and playing the open chords (mix it up with barre once you get a bit better at picking the chords)

If you want further advice you can always talk to me on AIM, which is TheyDiedPretty or you can consult MFS, who answered the question first.

I've seen a few responses from MFS and it seems as if he knows his musical stuff so i'd suggest you go to him before myself, however if you want another persons opinion feel free to talk to me.
