Antoine Michaud

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.

Do you feel you know enough chords on guitar to fully express yourself? 


If you are like I was a few years ago, the answer is a big NO!

At the time, I knew basic open chords like C, Am, Em, D.

I also knew barre chords and power chords… but that was about it.

There HAD to be something more than those basic chords. I kept hearing beautiful and rich sounding chords from other guitar players, but I had no clue how to play them or how to learn them...

I tried all of these methods, and it did not work.

 

  1. I asked my private teacher to teach me more advanced chords. And he taught me chords like Am7(b5) and Dmaj7… but I just didn’t get it. I didn’t understand what these chords were for and how I could use them. It was just mechanical: I learned new shapes, but they didn’t have a real purpose to me.

  2. I bought some books at the music store, but it was either beginner methods that were too basic or jazz bibles that were WAAAY above my head and my skill level.

  3. I spent many years getting a University degree... and that worked! But it took me more than 4 years of intense work. I had to rigorously study jazz, music theory, solfege, pass exams...

And those methods are demanding, complex and VERY long! 


You are probably playing guitar part-time, as a hobby. You have too many responsibilities to spend this humongous amount of time, resources and energy getting a degree, deciphering complicated jazz books (tedious, especially if you don’t like jazz), getting regular in-person guitar lessons…

And this is exactly why I created my flagship online course on guitar chords.


So that you can learn advanced chords, simplified, in only a few minutes a week, from the comfort of your house.

And that’s going to take you a few months to master the world of guitar chords, not 5+ years like it did for me!

I wish I could have had an easy way to learn lush and dreamy chords back then. The only way that was available to me was the hard, long way.

And that’s not what I want for you.  


For that reason, I built this amazing online course for you.

Introducing...

A step-by-step online course to help you reach complete chordal mastery, learn hundreds of groundbreaking chords, and allow you to create any chord you want on the fretboard.

KORDZ Program takes you by the hand and makes advanced guitar chords accessible to you with this simple 3-step process. 

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

Rinse and repeat for 18+ modules


... and suddenly, without realizing it, you are playing chords that only the most skilled guitar players in the world know (clusters, modal chords, non-diatonic progressions, etc). The kind of stuff they only teach you at University... now made super accessible to you, even if you're not an advanced player yet!

The course workbook is included!


On top of all these awesome modules, you get one giant workbook for you to keep, of 87 pages.


It contains all of the chord diagrams of everything I show in the program. It has 400+ new chords inside for you to learn.

It also contains custom exercises so you can have something to practice in order to master the chords of each module. There are more than 200 pre-written progressions to read and play. 

(Note: a side effect can be a lot of extra inspiration to write your own songs after reading those progressions!)

''The things you learn with Antoine’s KORDZ program will make a huge positive difference in your ability to voice chords you never considered or knew existed before. It’s a alot of fun to be around friends you jam with and they ask:

“Hey what was that chord you just played?” Or things like, “Wow, when did you learn those chords?”

The best compliment I can give is that after paying for and using this course, I would not hesitate to do it all again or recommend it to anyone looking to expand their chordal chops. Thank you Antoine!''

- Mark Sloan, student.

The KORDZ Program isn’t based on any complicated jazz book or advanced teaching method


It’s quite the opposite.

It always seemed like ‘’advanced’’ chords were reserved for jazz theory nerds or ‘’elite’’ musicians.

My job with the KORDZ Program is to simplify everything, create an easy to follow process and make advanced guitar chords accessible to anyone who wants to put in the effort.

The path is already traced, simplified and optimized for you. You only have to start and follow each step in front of you.


And because this process is so powerful, I can charge over $2600 to teach it to my one-on-one students. 


All the knowledge contained in the KORDZ Program would take at least 6 months of regular and dedicated private lessons to cover all the material.


At an average rate of $100 per lesson, even if you took only one private lesson each week for half a year, it would add up to $2600.

But when I decided to package my system into a course that anyone could follow, at their own pace, I wanted to make it as accessible as possible.

That's why you can join KORDZ Program for only one payment of $397!

''I've always admired Antoine's chord usage: the soaring, open, spacious chords he gets. So I enrolled in the KORDZ program and haven't regretted it.

Antoine shows step-by-step how to get those very sounds I love.

Plus his approach is deep, opening up creative chord ideas to me and really helping me explore compositional opportunities I hadn't seen before. I highly recommend this course!

- Bill Keilt, student.

BONUS #1: 4 Chordal Songwriting Trainings


Learning a lot of chords is helpful to have more tools to choose from when crafting your own progressions, but what is even better is knowing HOW to use them.

In these 4 bonus videos, I walk you through each section of the program and show you how I would use the chords to write my own ambient guitar songs. 

I write a new guitar looping song in front of you and explain my whole thought process on the chords I decided to use for each layer of my song. 

It’s very valuable if you want to actually know how to write music with the chords you'll learn!

BONUS #2: KORDZ Beyond extension

 

Once you’ll learn all the fundamentals, you would probably like to know where you can go from there.

I went above and beyond and created a whole new section of the program called ‘’Beyond’’, where we explore the outer limits of chord substitutions and fairly new concepts in the world of music theory and ambient guitar.

It includes those brand new modules:

  • Beyond Module 1: Harmonic & Melodic minor Chord Substitutions
  • Beyond Module 2: Advanced Modal Interchange (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Locrian modes)
  • Beyond Module 3: Atmospheric Harmonic Relationships
  • Beyond Module 4: Super Scale Chords (over the top clusters)
  • Beyond Module 5: Negative Harmony

BONUS #3: Melodic Stretching & Finger Independence (course)


This course is a collection of 30 stretching exercises of rising difficulty + a few helpful tutorials so that you can improve your stretching technique and reach farther frets in a melodic way! 

(I was so tired of annoying stretching exercises based on symmetrical shapes. They sound awful. My exercises always stay melodic and are nice to play!) 

It's a great complement to the program and can also be used as a warmup before you practice the chords of the KORDZ Program. 

''I've been learning guitar on my own for about 11 years. The KORDZ Program helped my playing and opened new doors to discover musically.

Antoine is a great player, teacher and has everything well thought out and planned in this course.

If you want to understand or incorporate unique chords into your playing, don't look anywhere else: This course has you covered!''

- Noel Beaulieu, student.
