I know that in order to help write a guitar solo you use scales,what about when you've written a song and need to match chords with the lyrics,is there a method of doing this?or is it just trial and error?because I find it so difficult

• well what i meant was,well,lets say i wrote a song,and i write a line,it goes,lets say,"answerbag is good,i can do it all day",i've got the melody in my head and everything,then i sit down with my guitar and try a C chord and an F chord,it doesnt sound right so i try a D and an E,then maybe and Am then a C,then a Cm and a D and so on untill i get it right,what i was asking was,that theres gotta be an easier way to do that,something easier than trial and error....

• Sorry man, I honestly don't think there is an easier way to do it at first. When you start out you have to go by trial and error. Once your brain is tuned into the differnt keys and stuff, you should be able to "know" what you need to put with it. But, honestly I'm just glad you're writing your own music instead of going to tabs.com or something and learning other peoples songs, and learning them incorrectly. I think its so much more fun to write your own music. Rock on buddy.

  just a question though,how would you know if your songs notes closely followed the A scale in the first place?
