So far, I haven't got anything set in stone yet (except for the genre), but I agree that the Chorus should be the most powerful part, even though I'm not sure what I can do to make it so... Some high notes or chords at the end of the second chorus could help, and it would flow nicely into the solo, which is, as far as I can tell, almost always played on the high register of the guitar. I still need to find out which scale(s) to solo over as well, but that can probably wait until I have the Verse and Chorus parts.
