Hi Andrew, FWIW:

Although I do mostly instrumentals I do have a technique I use for lyrics, and sometimes instrumental leads and bass lines. I strum my guitar and make up some lyrics. If I strike on something that I like I grab my Tascam DR 05 and record it. (You can use whatever you have for recording just have it on and ready to record.) The recording may only be a line or two but it is something you can potentially build into a song.

However other times I will think of a line or two then grab my guitar, find a chord(s) that fit said line and record it.

The main thing is to get it recorded and get the lyrics saved. I place the typed lyrics in my "Unfinished Song" folder on my desktop and I save the recording in my Tascam.
