I have found I don't need "inspiration" to come up with a good riff or write music in general. Usually just sitting on the couch playing an unplugged electric riffs will come (normally in the first 5mins). Lyrics is where I need inspiration (hence the byron thing mentioned earlier). For some reason I often come up with lyrics while sitting in the toilet (TMI :wtf: ) not sure why though (It's where I came up with the names of all 3 of our kids to).......speaking of which.......

I would recommend any guitarist that hasn't seen it to watch it, and any who have to watch it again....

agreed, I find any documentaries with decent musicians are a good source of inspiration.

Quite a good load of replies :D Coooool~

It might get loud is very good! Jack White is fucking great, and Jimmy Page is a legend, and then there's Edge. Yep. But none the less!

Though I find I can easily just sit down and start playing to get something going, with the real need to just make some music usually helps quite a lot. Some of my best pieces were done after something flicks my creative button on. Those moments are the best, though recording/playing for the hell of it is still nice. So yeahhhhhhh~!

Guitar's n shit!
