I know a lot about scales + chords. I am however having trouble with melody writing/ making coherent chords (in a given scale) sound good together when using the 'guitar' instrument. Any tips on how to go about this? even knowledge on how to use/play a real guitar would b helpful. thx.
 
There are a few threads that have addressed this in recent times

Find a good on-line chord manual for guitar (there are some good ones out there but not all will be be useful to the point of putting notes into your daw


Some stuff from another thread that got a bit carried away with debate that didn't need to happen, but went on for days anyway......

Base pitches and MIDI NN for each string are: E3~64, B2~59, G2~55, D2~50, A1~45, E1~40​

Several Guitar chords on each of A, B, C, D, E, F and G. The guitar is shown at notation octave, but played back at sounding octave; the piano is at notation and sounding octave.

I leave the flat/sharp naming notes to you to sort out.
