Learn how to create beautiful and memorable guitar melodies that will make people want to listen to your songs over and over again
...without spending any time drawing notes on a piano roll, learning how to read sheet music or studying music theory more than is needed.
From the home studio of Antoine Michaud - MontrĂŠal, QuĂŠbec:
What I get the most compliments on with my music, is usually how melodic my songs are (starting by praising yourself, Antoine, really?!)
I was actually curious to know what part of my melodic writing was instinctive and what part I learned in my studies (hint: very little of it was instinct). Â
So, as a refresher, I researched to see what currently were the methods taught online to write melodies.
I found there are basically 4 different approaches to learn how to craft memorable melodies online:
Â
Itâs either:
- In the form of videos or blog posts titled âTop 6 Tips to Write Memorable Melodiesâ, that contain overly simplistic advice like âuse rhythmsâ and âtrust your earsâ. (No depth.)
- With a piano roll, taught by EDM producers, literally drawing notes manually in a software (but I want to make music, not draw!)
- Very academic through the study of counterpoints and going all the way back through the baroque era (ugh.)
- With a top down view of a piano, analysing a movie music theme at a surface level. You just get one isolated example, without the big picture. Youâll be stuck as soon as you want to write in a different area, scale, tempo or key. (the ideas stay stuck at the theory stage)
There is no way you can understand the fundamentals of creating great melodies this wayâŚ
Â
At best youâll learn vague concepts - at worst itâs going to be a giant waste of time.
But most importantly: itâs not fun, and it doesnât feel like making music.
What if you want to write memorable melodies, without having to:
đ¸Â Be a music theory junky
đ¸Â Use cheesy synths and draw notes on a piano roll in a recording software
đ¸Â Learn how to read sheet music and know the entire history of music
đ¸Â Spend all this time learning without making progress because you donât even have a guitar in your hands
Fortunately, all of these methods are almost the complete opposite of what Iâm doing to write my own melodies.
Â
With my own method, you wonât need to draw notes, learn how to read sheet music, learn dozens of scale positionsâŚ
Youâll only need:
đ¸Â 2 simple scale positions (one Major, one minor)
đ¸Â Learning the art of making a strong motif and expanding on it
Thatâs it. No gimmicks. Only what matters.
With that, you can create awesome melodies using timeless principles, with your guitar in hands, getting your hands dirty and actually feeling like youâre making music (because you will!)
And itâs with that method in mind, made by a guitarist for guitarists, that I created my brand new course.
IntroducingâŚ
The simple, effective, no non-sense method to learn how to create memorable guitar melodies that will get stuck in peopleâs heads.
In this course, we will go very in depth by studying how to make great motifs, and Iâll guide you step-by-step on how to expand, structure and improve those motifs to stretch them out into awesome melodies!
đ¸Â Anyone can start small and learn these simple principles.
đ¸Â Any guitar player can follow this course, because Iâm only using tabs and simplifying the concepts like crazy!
đ¸Â Those are skills that will allow you to go deep and write beautiful melodies in any situation (even in other styles if you want!)
Hereâs a sneak peek of what you'll learn in Remarkable Melodies...

Yes, my courses arenât cheap.
There are 5 big reasons why.
#1 â I am qualified. Anyone can become a guitar teacher online nowadays. Unlike many others, I truly have a bachelorâs degree in music education. My courses and programs are well structured, educational, and designed by a real qualified teacher with formal education (me!). I am also a professional musician, have toured dozens of times in Europe with my band Mystery and still am doing it.
#2 â My unique touch and expertise in composing. Like anything in life, the more someone is specialized, the more they cost a premium. I would never spend hundreds of dollars to learn the Pentatonic scale in an online course, even if that were from David Gilmour himself, because this knowledge is generic and already easily accessible. However, I would spend a lot of money to learn composing from an artist that I admire, because this unique value cannot be copied or recreated by anyone else but them.
#3 â Students who invest are the ones who truly commit and get the biggest benefits. Iâve seen it countless times before: when I charge too little or discount my courses too much, most students donât even start the course or donât even go past 15%. They are just not invested enough. You need to have skin in the game to take it more seriously. I decided that what I want most is to get serious students, not just to reach the masses and get people who never even open the course. I made my courses to give my students results, not to collect dust.
#4 â I believe deeply in the value of education. I personally have never, ever learned musical skills for free in my entire life. Everything I teach has come from getting private lessons from several teachers or from my university studies. I have spent up to $75k in private lessons and tuition costs in my life. Compared to that, online courses are a STEAL at any price, considering you get lifetime access, can rewatch the lessons, get full workbooks of notes, exercises and graphics handed to you, AND get to have the instructor answer your questions when you need help. Itâs a great time to be a learner!
#5 â The ball is in your court. I already make enough money with my current course sales, affiliate income and YouTube ad revenue to live comfortably. There is no desperation from my part, I donât need the sale. So I can confidently decide what the course is worth, price it accordingly, and thatâs it. If I make more sales, great! If not, still fine. I would never want to undervalue my work. These prices convey the true value, the true expertise, the true love, the true enthusiasm, and the true quality of my courses. Thousands of satisfied students, and sub-5% refund rates can attest to that. If you genuinely want to master the skills I am teaching, if you truly desire the outcomes I am promising, you will find a way. We do that for anything we really want in life: we find a way to make it work. Guitarists spend thousands on guitars, pedals, home studio equipment and gear. There are no reasons not to invest at least as much in your education as well.
So if you're ready to take things seriously in your composing journey and invest in yourself, I will be more than happy to guide you in my courses đ
