Name a technique. You see I am making songs and I want them to be good but I dont know any like techniques that would besides hammer-ons and pull-offs. Please help me!!

Well you are supposed to develop your own 'technique' which would usually come with years of practice.

I've been playing for about a year or 2, and I guess my technique involves alot of vibrato style bends like David Gilmour used to do so well.

I really don't know what to tell you, except keep practicing....You shouldn't really try to learn a technique it should just come to you.

Ok cool.

muzzy's dead on on this one... don't learn different techniques just for the sake of technique... let it come to you in how you express yourself through your instrument...

Ok got it.

techniques for songwriting? I don't know, play around with chords, figure out some interesting progressions, and build a little melody on top of that, even if it's just picking various notes on the chords. Example: Hotel California

try different tuning too. i just tried drop D and thats my style.

Thanks I will try that.

play in 3/4 timing but i agree with everyone else dont do it for the hell of it !
