Their music is VERY mellow and usually only instrumental, very acoustic-driven. Here are some of their songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0FFv1jD7-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gqw-yepyYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5e5udWZTHs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7uoVE8HCy8 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ben Folds, Beck, Tom Petty, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, The smashing pumpkins have a lot of good slow stuff (and a lot of good heavy stuff), the police, the libertines, the doors, sublime, stereophonics, pink floyd, nine inch nails (yes I'm kind of going up my library here )... lastly i'd say some good ol' john lennon if you like the beatles.

Anyways, try out these: Explosions in the Sky - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36U4ez7AzKA Blackfield (with Steven Wilson!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrIqp4vBgP8 Camel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aezncdri9Y Eluvium - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_HG__6exOE Head Control System - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwrtQOZgavM (Ok, not soft, but since you had Porcupine Tree as a soft band it could still work. Great band nevertheless) Jan Johansson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CeqBE_EP7A Red Sparrowes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diMHtsrBiR0 Sigur Rós - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0AZIFmkogY That'll be enough for now.

Another band would be The National Bank. Check out Thomas Dybdahl too, the vocalist in that band You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It is instrumental, and definitely a mellow feel to it. It will give you goosebumps! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
