How I did it: Basically I had to just trust my instincts and do what I thought felt right.  Then I had to give the results some time so I could go back later, and listen again.  If I liked it after that, I know it works.   

Lessons & tips: Its important to know some music theory, but also what you can and can't do with your instrument.

Resources: I use only electronic instruments right now, but it helped to learn the acoustic guitar first.  That forced me to under stand basic music theory, and to play other people's songs. Playing other people's songs helped me to master rhythm, and understand how theory works in real applications.
