Can someone explain how a band puts a song together? From lyrics, how do the individual instruments then find their best “supporting role” for those lyrics. How much say do individual musicians eg. the drummer or lead guitarist have in what and how they play their instruments. Cheers.

I am not a musician, but a friend of mine was in a band. Their process (there are different ways, of course) was that the bassist would “f*** around” with his bass guitar. The other band members would throw at it what they think sounds good. Lastly the singer would write lyrics to the instrumental.
But as I said, there are different ways to get it done. For example, the singer could first write lyrics and the others go at those.
Or one guy writes everything.
