Try to play stuff you know that you cannot play.

Pick up your guitar and keep trying.

You just might write a brand new song by accident.

Quite true. I've written songs that took me over a year to be able to play. But song is what it is.

Several times I was just practicing - say - variations of "A," only to have someone ask me, "Hey, I like that; what's the name of that song?"
.
I'm there like, "Ummm huh? What song? That sounds like a song?"
Then I realize I'm at the point where I should write a chorus for that little practice-thing I'd been doing.
.
Heh - FREE song; gotta love it!

They're all free brother. But some assembly required!

That is exactly how this particular song came about. The whole instrumental section was formed around some finger gymnastics. When I put the track down on my DAW I thought I should write some lyrics to fill it out a bit and I added the front and rear sections to the "instrumental". I believe that happens rather often to those who write.
