Learn to play guitar...*LOL*

Siriously, learn to play an accoustic instrument. And if I say "learn" then I really mean "learn". Feel the vibrations of such an instrument and try to manipulate these vibrations in that way you feel deep inside your heart. So, I find my ground harmony for the instrument I play, the sound I create and at least the melody in my head. Oh, and don't forget to feel any kind of rhythm to your song because the rhythm spends life power for a song...

Or...if you still want to play a synth...then take choice for one good sound which is congruent to your feeling and do it the same way I've mentioned for an accoustic instrument. Come on, Paul, give it a try and feel the blues!!!
