    Music like this, no vocals

    Found this song and the vocals are not my thing as are most like those types or songs, But the parts in between are so awesome! i'm just wondering if i can find entire songs and bands that have this quality sound and this type hopefully.

    No vocals as you hear but just awesome guitar and drums. and that sound they have going there is so.... smoothchillfuture or something.

    Not exactly like this, but there are lots of Video Game Soundtracks without vocals. Damn, soundtracks like Super Mario Galaxy's (orchestrated) are awesome IMO.

    It is. and this isn't what I wanted at all. I can look up guitar solo easily, but that's not what I asked for. Listen to the part I linked. It has an awesome tune, also has drums there. I want a kind of bank thing going on pretty much like like but without the vocals.

    Going just by this tune...
    As with every niche, this too has it's roots in the times of classic rock...
    Check out Ash Ra Tempel, and Camel.. And if you like this stuff, research a little deeper.
    Essentially that's crossover music.. Rock/New Age
    Comes with, or/and without vocals.
    Is close related to other less guitar oriented artists like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Triumvirat, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze
    Other notable bands I'd name are: Eloy, Nektar, Jane

    Check out Apocalyptica. Finnish Cello rock band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN4r74UeRec

    They have the odd vocal track, but mostly they're just 3 cello and a drummer, they're AMAZING.

    Seconded, I'd think you'd like them.

    Also, I did a brief listen of the track you posted. I've heard a lot of melodic metal like this actually, admittedly a lot of it has some vocals somewhere (like the track you posted). Finding pure instrumental heavy melodic rock is a little harder but not completely impossible.

    Sounds like you are looking for some post-rock or post-metal. Try these.

    Russian Circles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzYW1pY3hFA

    Mogwai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLFd6k1BHDk

    Godspeed You! Black Emperor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh_wnykggWM

    Those are all post-rock I think. I don't know much post-metal, but is similar just harder I believe.
