Question: Can most people come up with riffs and songs easily!?
Coz I've had a guitar for about 6 weeks, and I've come up with probably 50 riffs or so, it takes me only a couple of minutes, I just do something random and end up with something good!. Most of them I just forgot about coz they didn't seem real good, but I'm not sure, coz I just listened to a whole bunch of bands that my mate recommended (Race Against the Machine, Korn and some more) and apparantly they're really popular, but I thought they just sounded random and crappy, and I liked some of the riffs I've made up and forgotten better!.

So can everyone come up with riffs like that or am I lucky!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends!.!.!.!. Anyone with basic theory knowledge can throw together a song fairly easily!. Anyone with extensive theory knowledge involving modes, arpeggios, etc!. can make those songs sound great!. I suggest you study theory!. But for now thats great if you can just throw something together!. The real question is!.!.!. Do you know when to use them and make them fit the piece!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I play the guitar, and can make up a few riffs on the spot, but if you have only played it since 6 weeks ago then that is uber fantastic dude!. Keep it up!.
I have played guitar since i was very small!.!.!.
