Im no music expert at all. But try reading a chord chart and playing a chord and use the notes in that chord as a guideline as to what notes will sound great. you can go about fooling with your own settings, just practice and youl do just fine.

I guess you mean "melody" & "instruments."
To have a good melody, you need harmony. Harmony is when you have a pair of different musical notes (or more than a pair) that complement each other. I'm assuming that you're a beginner, so here's a simplistic run-down.
For example, let's use the Do Re Mi scale.
Do1, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do2
is the same as
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
In this scale, C, E & G complement each other in sound. D, F & A also complement each other.
C, F & A can also complement each other (as do D, G & B,) but a rule of thumb is that no one note can complement another that precedes or proceeds it immediately.
That means F cannot complement G or E, even though G & E can complement each other. The same would apply to all other notes.
When you have this kind of a mismatch, this is known as a discord. Sometimes, creating a discord is quite necessary, depending on the mood of your music. However, too much discord (too many mismatched notes) can ruin your entire song. So harmony's the way to go (& only use discord when you feel you have to).
For the time being, your instruments aren't really as important as getting your harmony up & running. But when you do, it's as simple as double-clicking on an instrument in the Instruments list & fiddling around with volume & duty/noise effects.
I hope this helps.

Especially as every song uses the basic theory I've mentioned.
Every song uses a general musical scale & every song relies on such theory as harmony/discord, arpeggios, speed variation & note sustenance. You'll see this in every song ever composed.

The Blues is always a good thing to try; it's a standardized bunch of jazz cords that wound up becoming the basis for old-school Rock & Roll. The best part is that it's mostly improvisation anyways.
But there again, you'll always find the music theory I've mentioned before.

Yes. If you don't know the jazz chords, start off with a C Major 7 which is C, E, G, B and then a D Minor 7 which is D F A C. It makes the song sound great. 2nd, 6th and 9th chords and chords like that will make the music sound very nice.
no-one here really knows what stage you're at musically, so to give you any meaningful advice you should first post something. though my general suggestion is not to mess around with exotic harmony or anything of that kind until you feel confident with the basics. i'd recommend making something incredibly simple... just experimenting with simple chord progressions, melodic phrasing and rhythm. possibly structure and dynamics as well.
