The best tunes seem to come out in no time. I know I've carried a melody in my head for the longest time. Played it over and over for months. Then suddenly one day it just clicks. The other method is if I have an idea I will jam on it with my friends for a while just to see if the music works, but I don't really tell the guys that I'm trying to work something out. This is usually the first test to see if what I am on to really has legs. Later if the music takes some shape I'll say "hey you know this lick we have been playing, what if we went into this chord change at the end" and I sing a little. Then, voila! A song is born. Good read.
