Songwriting

[Xavier 7]

Hi


I'm assuming some of you guys have written instrumental rock songs before. I was just wondering what steps each of you go about to write one since I'm sure the majority of you do it in a different way. Do you start with the rhythm section then move on to lead, vice versa, et cetera?

Thanks

it depends on what im trying to create, head over to my soundclick page here http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/darrenrosermusic.htm and listen to 'Lights from the east' and 'Passion' , on lights i wrote the melody first and added backing, on passion i wrote the backing on powertab editor and added lead..
