After 13 years, it's time to move on.

[@adamdb94]

Antoine, this is awesome! i think your decision and reasoning is solid and I look forward to the future of the channel!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thanks Adam! You know what? The door is wide open for you now to carry the torch and establish yourself as a top creator in the ambient guitar space. You have everything it takes and probably could do it better than I did (because like I said - what I did was not very ''ambient''... but what you do totally is!). Keep sharing great songs and tutorials and I'm eager to see where you'll be in a few years!

[@Mrdanders0606]

Truly appreciate your time, talent, and content Antoine. I'm hoping that your Kordz classes and other modules that I've studied will not be going anywhere and still be accessible, yes? Many thanks to you and looking forward to your new videos!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

[@FlowerdyPilllow]

So glad to hear this, Antoine! I always start writing my songs with my Digtech Trio+ Band Creator or my simple Boss RC1 so am hungry to learn some looping tricks from you, my new guitar looping guru! All the best. I know you'll make a massive success of it as we all love you!!

[@masasasaki8837]

I’m with you, Antoine. Big respect from Japan.

[@kswannie]

I just hit the bell icon to receive all your videos as it's not what you teach that's important, it's the enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge you bring to your engaging teaching style. Looping is great and I want to learn more on how to use it further. Looking forward to it, Antoine!

Great!! Love Your Channel. Thank You so much for sharing your talent & teaching skills.

[@el0blaino]

Makes great sense, Antoine! I don’t play ambient music but chanced upon your channel via a video about chords and to me novel chord progressions. Your instruction was clear and step by step and enjoyable so I kept coming back. The looper is a tool I very much want to get better at using so looking forward to your new endeavors!

[@Ilove2surf]

You took the words out of my mouth... I don't really want to play in a band anymore and I don't want to play at church. I just want to be creative at home and surrounded by instruments lol... With my looper. Boomerang!

[@crestonhorses2365]

i think this is insightful of you, i agree, it seemed like your music was somehow adjacent to ambient at least the way I think of it. i'll definitely be following along (but I'll secretly be seeing if i can pick up on tips and workflow that I can apply to other instruments!) thanks for your work!

Searching for looping is how I found your channel. Your demo of the Aeros Looper is why I bought one. Your beautiful sounding music is why I keep coming back :D

I’m excited to move on to the next chapter with you! I have not really made any looping guitar songs in a few years and I’m ready to get back to it. I still never mastered the first step of creating a seamless loop. 😂

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Yeah! Let's get back to it!

[@TheLostHarmony]

Congrats Antoine! Best of luck on the rebrand! The best part about teaching looping is that it can apply to even more than just guitarists! I'm glad you found your drive and hope you continue to inspire musicians everywhere! Blowing the dust off of my channel and will also be rebranding with new music (and rehashes of old!)

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Maybe I'm going to evolve into multi-instrument looping someday, but for now it's all about guitar looping. Glad you're dusting off the channel - all the best in 2025!

[@matrixstar2767]

Looping is what I do most while playing at home and really got me into electric guitar. Most of the time I just have the drums going and when ready I start looping, using my boss rc500. Before I was just an acoustic guy who sang.

[@rachelhuang7]

Great pivot - looking forward to the upcoming videos!

[@jorgeleonel6663]

Some of the best looping videos out there are ones you put together, Antoine. Glad you'll be focusing on the theme, we'll benefit tremendously. Thanks for all you do, wishing a lot of success!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thank you so much!

[@solsailor]

Antoine, I just want to say you've always been an incredible teacher, and your ambient guitar courses and work have elevated my personal journey with guitar to levels I never thought possible. While I've tried to stay active in your communities and videos, life has always been too busy for me to keep up. Having your courses available anytime at my own pace has been such a blessing. I'm really looking forward to your new rebranded page-I think your looping education will be amazing, and I'm here for it all the way! Thank you so much :) - Tommy

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thank you, Tommy, you're the best!

[@danielfarkas7337]

You've been helping me on my ambient guitar journey for 5+ years now and there hasn't been a piece of music, video or course of yours which I haven't found to be super inspiring. At first I was preparing myself that this video will be the announcement of your retirement... I was so relieved to find out that it's not the case :) Go go guitar loops!!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Thank you for your immense support, Daniel!

[@schmidinho]

I've always loved your channel, always loved the vibe. Coincidentally, I've learned a good amount about looping just by watching your previous videos. So, I'm really looking forward to looper-focused content.

[@ianrydquist9729]

Thanks for everything you do! Im excited for the next chapter! I noticed you took some albums off Spotify and I got a little worried...PLEASE PLEASE though-put your ambient guitar songs vol 1-3 back up in some form, I listen to those every night for relaxation and Ive been missing them. Nobody else does it quite like you!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

It's temporary. I decided to reupload all of my albums with my name: ''Antoine Michaud'' instead of ''Monochrome Seasons''. So many people did not know about my artist name, weren't finding me on streaming platforms and kept asking. So I made the change for simplicity. I have reuploaded all of my full length studio albums, but not the vol 1-2-3 yet. I'll get to them soon!

[@ianrydquist9729]

Excellent! Happy 2025!

[@Deric_Rocks]

Great ideas! 🎉❤🏆

[@57RickH]

This is so cool your new direction is based on guitar looping! I use both a hardware looper and Garageband Live Loops and I've barely scratched the surface on the potential of making great music with looping so I'll be following your channel more than ever 😎🎸🎸🎸

[@progressionsoffaith]

Hey Antoine it's Annie here, and I want to say how excited I am for this change. At first glance at the email this a.m. I was concerned, but then after watching the video I was relieved. And actually realized how much this will help. I have had my "loopers" plural yes several, and hardly used them at all. I realize that you are correct...lack of instruction for me. Before saying much more I do want to let you know that when I came to you for lessons/instruction a mere 4 or 5 yrs ago, being a complete beginner, who knew nothing about music theory, I can honestly tell you in a short 6 months of learning from you I grasp the whole thing. I just release my latest song on streaming services as I finally feel confident that it's worth it. In only 5 YEARS of playing! Thanks to you careful, and well planned instruction. I still hit the academy for follow ups as I'm still learning stuff. In different phases of my progress. So....thank you very very much, and I am looking forward to FINALLY using my new digital looper. Blessings!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

So proud of you, Annie! Looking forward to help you in new areas of your playing in 2025 and beyond 😊

[@progressionsoffaith]

Thank you so much. That means alot to me. I dusted off mt Aeros, and I raring to go. I can't wait to finally dig in and use it now. I know that looping techniques are only going to help make my song compositions even better. ​@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping

Good luck! Love Your way of teaching. I hope you won't delete any of your "oldchannel" movies ;)

[@sledjester]

Hi Antoine, I first stumbled across your channel years ago when I found a cover you made of a Hans Zimmer composition using multiple loops and picture-in-picture. I was blown away, inspired and immediately subscribed. At that time I don't think you even had 10K subscribers and your channel was not yet branded with your name. I have seen you work very hard at building your channel and think you will reach a much bigger audience with this new direction. I have a Boss loop station and am very far from mastering this thing, so I look forward to seeing what you create. cheers

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Awesome! The movie music looping covers are definitely among the things that I can start reexploring and teaching on the channel with my new looping focus. Happy to learn that you would enjoy this new direction!

You SCARED us, lol! But, I am still your #1 fan! This all makes sense, and in a sublime way, it was kind of unifying in thought, because I have always been drawn to your work, but couldn't put my finger on why. There are other factors you aren't mentioning though.. like your absolute transparency and honesty, pouring out your thought processes, and articulating your objectives with a clarity that nobody else commands! This is going to be a fun season coming!!!

Awesome! I'll be around for the new stuff for sure. Any chance you'll be doing guitar looping in Ableton? :) I currently have two setups: my guitar-pedalboard-only with my stereo pedals going into an RC-1 (then stereo out to JC-40); and pedalboard direct into Ableton where I'm trying to figure out looping with synths/drums/etc.

Will your old/previous content still be available please?

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Yes! I do not want to erase my past. It led me to where I am now, and still helps tons of people daily. Only new content will be affect by the rebrand.

[@trevorowers44]

@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping tremendous news. I especially interested in your looping project, as I have a Ditto x2 and really want to learn how to get the most out of it. Interestingly I play lap steel as much, or more than guitar so would be fascinated how I could utilise looping in the context of steel guitar too.

[@doubled5383]

I echo the comments of some…I got so much out of your “ambient” channel even though I am not an ambient player. Made me think differently about chord voicings and techniques. I am trying to get better at looping. One thing I want to do is get better using the Digitech Trio+ and/or the SDRUM pedal to add bass and/oe drums into the mix. I have also incorporated the VFE Klein Bottle 3-channel mixer pedal to run some things in parallel. Like having a Hologram Infinite Jets in one channel, and then an “ambient” signal chain (distortion, echo, reverb, modulation, Line 6 HX One for one-off random glitch sounds) in another. Trio+ and SDRUM in the third channel. Put a looper after the mixer. maybe also a sampler (e.g. TC Electronics Infinite) to play pads. Something like that. I look forward to getting ideas from your channel.

[@thereareplaces]

Antoine: Congratulations on deciding to follow your heart, I am sure the looping-centric focus will work out well for you. However there is a major question that comes to mind regarding your announcement. As you may know I have subscribed to many of your courses and rely on the Ambient Guitar Academy website to access them. Will the site remain? If not, how will you provide access to the courses that we have paid for and now access through the Ambient Guitar Academy? While I have downloaded all of the course workbooks, I still rely on the video courses when I want to review part of your training and find the Ambient Guitar Academy website a critical part of my continued development. Any insights on how you will handle these types of issues for your fans? Thanks, and good luck

[@AntoineMichaudGuitarLooping]

Good question! All my courses came with lifetime access, so I will honor it. You will never lose access to any course. Eventually, my website will change URLs from Ambient Guitar Academy to Guitar Looping Academy, so the only thing that might happen is that your old bookmarks won't work and you'll have to create new ones with the new URL. Other than that, you will maintain your account with your usual email, password and course library. The infrastructure of the website isn't going to change, just the name of it. It's very possible that I will revisit some courses, or even remove them from the front end of my website, but anything that was bought in the past will remain accessible.
