Sometimes, music amazes me. Tonight I tried playing a very nice chord progression I've come up with on my Martin Acoustic, and I didn't expect the results to be this good. It sounded okay on my SG, which is the one I used when I came up with the progression, but it wasn't that impressive on any of my electrics. However, when I played it acoustically, it sounded so beautifully sad that the words literally just popped into my head. Almost as if I had already heard the lyrics dozens of times, though I hadn't. those words that came out, came from somewhere inside me. Too bad I didn't have time to grab my phone and record it. I will if it happens again, that's for sure... Of course, I know I can't rely on this method forever. I'll still try the things suggested in this thread :)
