PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem but I think I have found a method that works somewhat.The neat part is you dont have to have a doctorate in theory to do this.
This method is great for writing on a classical guitar or just an electric with some drums.
In a nut shell just simply found out how many different notes you are playing for a particular riff or solo and match them up with other riffs/solos that contain the same notes.I try to match at least 3-4 and no more than 8 notes.
Any more than that and it will need to be used for chromatic shredding only.
example;if we combine
waisted years intro/iron maiden
in my dreams intro/dokken
summer song main melody/joe satriani
barogue intro/joe satriani
we would have 8 different notes to play around with.
The hardest part of music which is modulation is easy in this way because instead of thinking in theory terms like
circle of 5ths all we need to do is replace 1 of the songs from list above and consider that a modulation.
Now the smoother the transition in the notes to other scales
the more natural the music will sound.
Just food for thought.
I love this method so much i may have to ditch the electric for a classical guitar=)
