Antoine Michaud
Hi I’m Antoine Michaud - ambient guitar artist on Youtube, touring musician for Canadian progressive rock band Mystery, and founder of Ambient Guitar Academy.
Tired of using the same 7 chords to write your music in Major or minor keys?
This has always bugged me since starting to learn music theory:
In any Major or minor key, we simply have 7 chords to choose from to make a song in that key.
For example, in the key of C Major, we have: C – Dm – Em – F – G – Am – Bdim
On top of that, most guitar teachers tell you to avoid the diminished chord because it’s trickier to use.
That makes 6 chords.
Only SIX options to write my songs!
I can write 1 or 2 or 3 great songs with this set of chords…
But then, what? Do I just repeat myself with the same 6 chords over and over again?
- What if I want to be prolific and write songs that don’t all sound the same?
- What if I want to create other moods and staying in the key doesn’t allow it?
- What if I want to be more creative and having six choices clearly isn’t enough?
Well, the solution is simply to pick chords outside the key!
But it’s not that simple.
You can’t simply pick any chord outside the key and expect it to sound great.
Most of the times, it sounds totally random and doesn’t fit.
Which opens up a whole new set of questions and challenges:
- Which outside-the-key chords sound better than others, and why?
- How can I know which outside-the-key chord to choose to create the right mood at the right moment in my songs?
- How do I know which scales to use to create melodies on top of my outside-the-key chords?
And it is exactly to help guitar players like you who have those questions and feel stuck with so few chord options that I created this brand new online course.
