What Is the COMPOSITION Guitar Academy ?

The COMPOSITION Guitar Academy consists of many modules, many videos of entertaining and educational content where fingerstyle acoustic guitarist Vincent Schmidt and Adrien Delamarre will take you through the foundations of composing your songs and playing solo acoustic guitar like a one-man band. The toolkit you will acquire is not only for on-stage presentations, it’ll help you in your personal playing as well for playing to your friends and family.

​

Imagine having the ability to not just play songs, but also compose your own creations, your ideas on your acoustic guitar with ease and freedom. Imagine being able to finally play songs, REAL songs from start to end as a solo guitar player without the need for a band, a backing track, or whatever. Being able to truly consider yourself a guitar player, bringing tears to the eyes of your loved ones - even yourself - playing songs, because you know deep down that you played it right, with heart. You know that the daily routine of practice transformed your habits for life… that’s what made you the player you are now. And you remember your past self : « I will never play like that », « I’m not good enough », « it will never work », .. and knowing that time is now over.

​

Your acoustic guitar is a very powerful instrument with so many options to play with. Yet when was the last time you asked yourself how to use it to its fullest potential? Once and for all, learn how to master your instrument. No stone will be left unturned. We will dive deep down into the fondation of composition, the fondamental of storytelling, all about acoustic guitar, guitar percussions, practicing, how to perform live, and much more!

You are only as good as you want to practice. After you come through the COMPOSITION Guitar Academy, you return amplifying the best parts of the guitarist you are, improving your ability to create the music you desire and be the showman/woman you want to be.

CHANGE YOUR HABITS, CHANGE YOUR MUSIC

​

Do you want to play some songs alone on the acoustic guitar?

It’s a great start to play songs by your favorite artists and expand your repertoire but it’s even better when they’re your creations.

​

Here is the cold hard truth about a lot of musicians - and those who dream of becoming one…We all struggle with the same issues..

​

1. We’re wasting days and days searching for good free content on the internet to improve our playing. We often start lessons with someone who seems good and then stop either because we're not motivated to continue alone or because the content doesn’t fit us anymore.

Even after finding someone else to give us what we’re looking for it’s the same story - after weeks or even some days, we stop and come back to the first songs we learnt with the same chords. We know that well, it was my case too.

​

2. We learn some scales here, some arpeggios there, a riff here, a part of a song there. But it never sounds that cool and it’s always only a small part of something - not a finished song. We’re looking for some good songs to play, some good tips for our specific problems, but we never find the solutions.

If you’re like us, the research stops when you fall on the same magical e-book that promises to teach you to play like a hero in two minutes..

We all know that’s wrong.

…sound familiar?

​

Whichever story you’re struggling with, we can help!

Take action now, not tomorrow, not in a week - NOW -  and you will make that change. Why now ? First, because when we don’t take action, we know how the story end : the motivation just disappears and we never take the opportunity to change.

We want to inspire real and immediate change in your life.

 

Why, and how, should you choose our method ?

 

OUR SERVICE

 

  • We can be your coach! Yes but it's very limited. We know that learning alone is alright… but although we’re motivated at first, it’s often hard to keep going and it’s too easy to stop.

Together, you’ll be more motivated to work because we’ll be there to help you progress, and by designing a plan just for you- we’ll work at the right speed.

​

  • We won’t give you tone of information. There’s no need to overwhelm you. But don’t worry, there will be great content to help you.

​

  • We will give you a transformation plan. From start to end. « Transformation? » is really the core of this new course. You will learn how to change the bounding beliefs that stop you from becoming a confident and expert musician. With a precise strategy - how to practice, what to practice, how much to practice, where to place your focus, how to learn from the finest musicians  - we will make real changes to your playing.  Music is not all about content, music is a mindset.

​

  • (Bonus) On top of the method, there will be some deep insights into how the mindsets of famous artists work and how to implant those mindsets into your routine and your life. So it won’t only be about music, it will also touch an important part of your life that will improve your creativity, your focus and your happiness.

ABOUT

Hi! I’m Vincent, I have played the guitar for 17 years. I’ve recorded three albums of my own guitar compositions in solo fingerstyle and a fourth with a band. I compose music for animation and film and also for interviews about architecture.

Every year, it's a pleasure for me to give a lot of shows, alone or with other musicians. Listening to, playing and composing music are the three things that have made me live my best life.

 

Over the last 6 years, I’ve helped create results for my clients and students and helped them how to reach their specifics goals. I built a unique strategy for guitar composer that I learned from being in the music industry for 17 years. I learned different instruments from piano to drums to saxophone and learn from the mindset of famous musicians - many of my teachers and mentors as Tommy Emmanuel, Jon Gomm, Frank Vignola, Francis Coletta to name a few.

Let's take - together - your level to the next level.

TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS

I'm waiting for YOU to be on my testimonial!

My mom has tried the lessons but she doesn't play guitar. And it's my mom, so she loved it.

My brother told me it was nice but he's a drummer and didn't know what to do about composing melodies.

So please be the guitarist that could write on this "wall" of super fame.
I'm waiting for you on the inside. ;)


 

A great training that opens many perspectives! With short and nice videos, everyone can go at his own pace to discover this original approach of the instrument. But it is especially the exchanges (live or video) with Vincent that are particularly interesting. Enthusiastic and open to all questions, he freely shares his "tricks", and adapts them as needed according to the possibilities and desires of each person. We play, we discover, we learn and we enrich our palette! For me, the effect was ra
