I have like over 3000 downloads on opengameart and that's about it.
I barely have any users on my SoundCloud because I do not perform at shows or advertise myself.
I'm not a professional musician I'm more of a programmer. Music is just a hobby for me. I used to be a professional musician when I was in highschool. I used to be lead guitarist of my old church.
Thank you. To get that sound I used slash chords or I believe they also call it inverted chords. Never really knew how to use slash chords until recently. Even though it uses minor chords it still sounds happy because the inverted chords make you want to hear major chords because the root note plays the root note of what is usually a major chord.
Guitar Pro 6 is free if your teacher provides it. If you cannot get Guitar Pro 6 then try Tux Guitar which is free. They both have scales built into it.
If you want Guitar Pro 6 you can literally buy it for $30 bucks or you can buy the newer guitar pro 7 for $60. It comes with all the instruments you need.
This is few of my pieces I created in Guitar Pro 6.
An"I" Chord leads to any chord so usually you want to start with that chord.
a "ii" Chord leads to V, vii chords
a "iii" chord leads to ii,IV,V,vi chords
a IV chord leads to I,ii,V,vii chords
a V chord leads to I, and vi chords
a vi chords leads to ii, IV, V
a vii chord leads to a I chord
if I were you I would avoid the vii chord for most of the time.
if you are confused that's fine think of it like this. A I is the first note of the major scale. A ii is the second note of the major scale . A iii is the third note of the major scale and so on.
For the chords the bass note is the roman numeral for the chord. For example a I chord has a bass note that has the first note in the scale or C.
As far as chords go a major chord is made up of the 1st note the 3rd note and the 5th note in the relative key of the major scale
so for c major chord(c major scale: C D E F G A B C) you would play the first note (of the C major scale) C the third note E and the fifth note G.
For a D Major chord you would play the D major scale to figure out how to play it.
so for D major chord (D major scale: D E F# G A B C# D) you would play the first note(of the D major scale) D the third note F# and the fifth note A.
So knowing that how do you play a minor chord well it is 1 b3 5. Or the first note the third note shifted a half step down and the fifth note.
So for c minor chord(C major scale: C D E F G A B C) you would play the first note C the third note shifted a half step down Eb and the fifth note G. So C Eb G
so for a d minor chord (D major scale: D E F# G A B C# D) you would play the first note D the third note shifted a half step down F and the fifth note A. So D F A.
so for major chord it is 1,3,5
for minor chord it is 1,b3,5
for added spice play seventh chords
so for a major seventh chord it is 1,3,5,7
for a minor seventh chord it is 1,b3,5,b7
for a seventh chord it is 1,3,5,b7
if you had guitar pro you can see the neck in the image below. It is the c major scale

In fact, %100 of my music is created with it. Also, I use it to import midi into other software such as fruity loops.
There is also Odesi Music Composition on steam that basically writes chord progressions for you and generates leads of your choosing.
Although I would recommend Guitar Pro 6 over that anytime.
If you use any other software you are going to need to know theory. But here is a quick tutorial to get you started.
