The Basics of Ambient Guitar Soundscapes (easy way to get started with soundscapes!)

►► A Beginner's Guide To Ambient Guitar: Free Mini-Course 🎁
→ www.ambientguitaracademy.com/...
In this lesson, you will learn how to get started creating ambient guitar soundscapes.
All you need is one reverb pedal that has:
- A shimmer mode
- Has a lot of seconds of decay (10-20+ is even better!)
- Can go full wet mix
I'm going to show you how to set up the pedal, which techniques and scales you can play and you'll know exactly how to make your first soundscapes on guitar!
Enjoy the tutorial!

"Shimmer can be really piercing and I don't like that" ain't it the truth! Awesome tutorial Antoine! Might give this a try

[@eearts]

Thank you Antoine! Awesome!

[@scatterbain1628]

Brilliant lesson, thanks so much

[@bluwng]

Love your energy and knowledge.

[@ArronSealmoyGuitar]

THIS TUTORIAL IS ON POINT THANKS MAN !

[@georgerichardson7728]

Very creative, thank you Antoine.

[@MoonWalkersbin]

great job Antoine! keep it up!

[@jasonmacleod9550]

So helpful. Really opens up the realms of possibility.

[@bornindissonance]

This is great help man, thanks!

woaaaaaaaaaa trop cool le son

[@slesher84]

Super cool!

[@StupidEarthlings]

Love this guys accent. :)

[@funkylentil6966]

Thanks for the tips. I'm a big fan of just playing real ambient and creating a world. \/

[@deltafour1212]

What a godsend!

[@H-TownAce]

Bought a Walrus Audio Slotva and it’s not great for classic reverb from what I hear so I’m here to learn how to justify my purchase 🤣😂

[@jazzfullanaguitar]

I'm trying to start in the soundscape/ambient guitar world and, although I don't have this amazing pedalboard, I really appreciate your recommendations. Will try for sure! Thank you🙏

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Good luck with your project, my friend!

[@sylvester9959]

Yes i have experience and heard such sound especially playing sounds of interstellar space music & also some kind of Aliens civilization music.

[@baileytaldrich]

Hey Antoine, what happened to your soundscape video that was sort of a tutorial on how to play your track “The Pastel Painter”?
One of my favorite songs of yours and favorite videos on YT.

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Hey Bailey. Thanks! Unfortunately, I removed that video from my channel because in it I was promoting a membership site that I closed down last year. So I didn't want to generate sign ups or have people asking questions for something that doesn't exist anymore. I'm sorry! Now most of my ''ambient song walkthroughs'' similar to this one are in the bonus section of my premium online course ''Ambient Guitar Songwriting Formula'' for my students.

[@chadb1176]

Hey Antoine - is it possible to use the empty loop approach with the boomerang to create a clean, continuous, lush loop?

[@chadb1176]

Never mind, you already have a video for the empty loop! Thank you!

[@coreyw5981]

Heck why not full spectrum in a song? I want to learn soundscapes so they can be background in my melodic ambient parts or even underneath any genre. Even metal bands like architects have huge ambient soundscapes underneath their heavy chuggy guitar parts

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

Please do these in French with English subtitles. French sounds so good!!! And I’m American.

[@burneraccounthandle]

hell no

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

@@burneraccounthandle Bro French is his native language, it would be beautiful to hear and increase the artfulness of this channel.

[@burneraccounthandle]

@@user-zv7lm8uk7h french sounds so annoying

ouais ce serait bien
