Hi I’m Antoine Michaud - YouTube guitar teacher to my 100k+ subscribers, touring musician for Canadian progressive rock band Mystery, and founder of Ambient Guitar Academy.

0 ambient songs and no confidence… 


In 2010, I decided to quit my rock band, to pursue starting my own solo ambient guitar project.

And between 2010 and 2013, I did exactly… nothing.

When I sat down to write my ambient guitar music, I found some small musical ideas, but I wasn't able to flesh them out into full songs.

For 3 years, I felt completely stuck.

The more I sat down to write my ambient guitar music, the more I fed this negative feedback loop. I started to believe that I just wasn’t able to write a full song and that ideas would simply collect dust in my hard drive.

And one day, I realized what was preventing me from being a good ambient guitar songwriter.

I was waiting for something to happen instead of taking responsibility for improving my songwriting skills and finishing my songs!

Everything changed when I started focusing on learning one new skill at a time:

  • Trying new song structures

  • Exploring all the settings of my pedals to create new sounds

  • Learning and applying arrangement techniques

  • Taking the time to know my looper pedal inside-out

  • Writing one good backbone guitar part without looking ahead too much

And when I merged all of my new skills together, I could finally turn any small idea into a complete song!


I created a system for myself.

A system that allowed me to quickly make decisions regarding the structure of my songs, arrangement, pedal settings, looping techniques, choosing layers for my loops, and more.

That way I could focus on the musical ideas alone, and my songs would litterally write themselves.

That complicated puzzle that is ambient guitar songwriting became a very effective and focused process that still allows me to this day to build an audience and inspire tens of thousands of subscribers every week on my Youtube channel.

 

If like me, you are also stuck with small ideas but can't seem to create full ambient guitar songs, then you are in luck!

 

I want you to finally realize your ambient guitar songwriting potential and write songs you will be proud of. So I took my whole songwriting formula, which I spent years to develop, and packaged it in a repeatable system.

Introducing...

A proven, effective system that turns any small idea into a full-blown, soul-touching ambient guitar looping song and makes you finish your songs every single time you sit down to write music.


The Ambient Guitar Songwriting Formula is an online course that focuses on all the key elements of writing ambient guitar looping songs through 7 unique learning modules.

It’s the ultimate toolkit to understand every detail on how to write ambient songs.

Here’s a sneak peak of what you’ll learn inside the 7 modules of the Ambient Guitar Songwriting Formula online course:

 

Module 1 – Songwriting Habits & Mindsets

  • Understanding the 2 different states of songwriting (crucial to unlock your songwriting potential).
     
  • Training our songwriting muscles with a regular exercise. 

  • 5 Approaches to write outstanding song ideas (never be stuck in a songwriting session again)

  • 4 proven methods to start your ambient songs.

Module 2 – Song Foundations (Case Studies)

  • Analysing songs from popular ambient guitar Youtubers (Chords of Orion, Andy Othling, Perry Frank, and yours truly)

  • Finding how they wrote the foundation of their songs and built around it (this gives you crazy good insight on how they came up with their songs and which techniques they used). 

  • Analysing: the riff method, the sound method, the chord progression method, the experimental method. 

  • Feature from one secret guest, an ambient guitar Youtuber on how to create out-of-the-box ambient guitar soundscapes.

 

Module 3 – Creating Textures

  • Finally understand all the fundamentals on how to create rich and lush textures with guitar pedals.

  • Covering: pad textures, sustained textures, swells, drones, range expanding textures, satured textures, pulsating textures and more!

  • All techniques are based on the principles, regardless of the pedals you have (which is HUGE, because Youtube demos usually focus on the single pedal used instead of the principles).  

 

Module 4 – Master The Looper

  • Choosing the right looper pedal for your need (complete guide)

  • How to use looper built-in effects in our songs.

  • Understanding and using looping modes (Serial, Sync, Free)

  • How to play using an advanced hybrid looping style.

  • How to record seamless loops and play with volume dynamics to create more engaging parts.

 

Module 5 – Ambient Song Structures

I analysed and extracted the 7 most used song structures for ambient guitar and explain all of them in details with musical examples:

  • 1 – The Stack & Fade

  • 2 – The Removal

  • 3 – The Expectations Defier

  • 4 – The Two-Sided

  • 5 – The Lonely

  • 6 – The Independent

  • 7 – The Ever-evolving

 

Module 6 – Arrangement & Layering Techniques

In this critical part of the course, we look at all the little details to apply that make the difference between an amateur and pro sounding ambient guitar song:

  • The key step before performing your ambient looping song.

  • The 6 Building Blocks of Ambient Guitar Layers

  • Arranging with a textural orchestration mindset

  • Creating maximum separation for crystal clear loops

 

Module 7 – Bringing It All Together

In this section, I reveal my 9-step formula to successfully write and finish your ambient songs every single time, starting from any small idea. 

But it doesn’t end there. I literally follow this exact formula live in front of you for 30 minutes so you can see how I apply this 9-steps method in real life. I write a whole song live in front of you by using the formula you’ve learned so you can see it in action.  

You can enter in my own head and understand each decision I make when writing an ambient song and how I write it from start to finish. It’s super valuable!

And the best thing is that you can repeat this process for all your future songs. Say goodbye to writer's block! 

''If you are really serious about learning the art of ambient guitar and want to learn how to write your own songs, you should definitely check out Antoine's songwriting class. Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) you need to know on how to write an ambient song is right here.''

- John J. (student)

Learning through a mentor is the best way you can improve faster. 

 

If you don’t have any guidance, you’re going to search for answers in the dark on how to finally make the ambient guitar songs of your dreams.

It’s a chance for you to learn and watch me dissect every part of an ambient guitar song. There will be no secrets for you after going through my course.


And because such a privileged access to a mentor is so insightful, songwriters can easily charge $2000+ for songwriting retreats or ''experiences''.


They focus on the whole ''experience'' to justify charging a premium for sharing their hard earned songwriting secrets. Meeting them in person; nice hotels and restaurants; access to their studio; tour of the city; merch items....

But when I decided to package my entire formula into an online course that anyone could follow at their own pace, without all the extra bells and whistles, just solid information and training, I wanted to make it more accessible.

And that's why...

I hope that's fair to you :-)

This course really opened my eyes on a lot of elements I was missing about creating ambient guitar songs. Especially looping and structuring my songs.

Seeing you write a full song and explain what you did, and also the real case studies really helped clarify the process for me.

I think this is the big strength of your course, Antoine, because I really learn more by examples and not just by theory. I wrote my first real ambient sketch last week and I’m very excited about making more! Thank you so much!!
