Looking for some uplifting-happy music :D (and seeking help with a tone :3)

[kamello]

Hi Guys, I been listening to a lot of Chon, Muse, Explosions in the Sky, Coheed and Cambria and Bulb stuff recently and Im open for some recomendations similar to them (I know, I know, not all the stuff of the bands I named above are like that but I think you get the idea, also, Classical music is welcomed )


aaaand, I'm trying to learn this right now



but (apart from the fucking tapping section ) Im Struggling a bit with the tone

I have a POD HD 400 (the bastard son of the 500) and Im currently using the Line 6 Elektryk model with Gain around 12 o' clock and an EQ to increase the Volume of the High Frequencies and giving it a bit extra gain (around 20% in the EQ)

thanks.

Listen to anything by The Dear Hunter man, it's sure to lift your spirits, even if it's just because it gives you faith that there is good, gonest music being made somewhere in the world!

As far as your tone problems go, I don't think I can help too much! Sorry man!

 

[MFB]

Phoenix (new or old really)
Jukebox the Ghost
Rooney
Neon Trees
Passion Pit
The Von Bondies

..all I've got off top of my head

The Ventures and Los Straitjackets. Surf works when all else fails.

Listen to some pop-punk, dude. Can't be upset when you're listening to pop-punk.

 

[kevdes93]

pop punk band man overboard, and you cant go wrong with a classic like weezer or blink 182

 

[kamello]

edit: about pop punk...my favourite band when I was a kid was Green Day, and my favourite album Nimrod, not exactly the happiest thing in the earth, but very relaxing nonetheles

Check out Karnivool... a lot of the Bulb and HS stuff reminds me of this song.

Freak Kitchen can be a bit more upbeat sounding. I recommend the album Move.

Andy Timmons and Eric Johnson are more guitar focused dudes with some positive vibes!

 

[Enselmis]

Kaipa.

The Wonder Years (in this situation the band, but i do love the show) always make me happy

This album has been a huge part of my daily soundtrack since i graduated and started to get past all that dumb highschool shit. Not exactly happy but strong vibes of self improvment/ self empowerment.

[ImaDjentleman]

i guess we're quite similar, kamello, because i was planning on recommending chon, bulb, and muse before i read your first post!

 

[ImaDjentleman]

by the way, that song "breeze" is the epitome of all things positive known to man

 

[Alimination]

Doesn't get happier then this song



I love queen
