1:1 GUITAR COACHING
I WORK WITH METAL GUITARISTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR SERIOUS RESULTS.
A coach is more than a teacher: a coach instructs, trains, guides, inspires, supports, holds you accountable, and leads you along your journey to becoming the guitarist you want to be.
Our coaching programs will involve goal-specific programming and will include correspondence between sessions; this is so important because you need to be consistent in order to see results, and this extra communication adds a layer of accountability that will help you see results faster.
As your coach, I can help you to become acutely aware of what is holding you back as a guitar player, so that we can create an action plan to overcome this and get to your next level of ability.
When you hire a coach, you aren’t working with them to gain information – you’re working with them to help you IMPLEMENT and EXECUTE. This is where most people fall short in working on their own, and that is why I work with my clients on a frequent communication basis. I want to help you establish effective habits and take concrete, repeated action toward your goals.

1:1 COACHING SESSIONS
Once your goal has been established with the help of your coach, you will meet once per week for a video call which is your weekly check-in and coaching session. Inferno and Wildfire clients will be scheduled at a recurring time each week, and Ember clients will be scheduled bi-weekly.
Following your weekly session, each week you will receive a training package and practice protocols for you to use throughout the following week. The coach will break down your big goals into a series of smaller goals, giving you fun and attainable targets right away which will become progressively more and more challenging as you progress.
VIDEO CORRESPONDENCE
It helps to know you’re on the right track with your practicing. There is nothing worse than to get all geared up to practice the day after your session, only to have doubts and feel like you’re doing it wrong. We allow video critiques between sessions so you can receive feedback and encouragement to keep you progressing until your next session.
Available for all tiers.
​
TEXT SUPPORT
You will be working hard by practicing throughout the week! Should you have any questions or concerns on the days between your sessions, we’ve got your back. From 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM pacific time, you can receive direct support by asking questions via text, 7 days per week.

WHAT OTHERS SAY:
Christian at AxeFire has been my coach for 3 years now. What is great about Christian is how much he brings to the table. His knowledge of music theory and incredible skill strike a great balance for a guitar coach, but it is his patience and positivity that make him great. Christian has helped me make progress I never thought I could reach. In an age where technology makes it so easy to find content, it may not seem like having a teacher is necessary, but I feel quite confident saying that without Christian’s guidance I would never have achieved the success that I have so far.
Trying to play on my own… playing covers and trying to write stuff on my own, I felt like I was just kind of feeling around trying to learn this stuff, and I thought over the years that the fretboard knowledge would just “click” for me but it never did. I felt like when we sat down together for the first time and talked about the CAGED system, that I learned more in the past hour than I have in the past 5–10 years trying to learn this stuff on my own.
I’ve been working with Christian for a few years now. I appreciate the fact that Christian considers both your short-term and long-term goals: whether it's theory, or a piece of music you want to play, and tailors his sessions for you. Christian also breaks everything down in an easy to learn manner, and makes sure I learn each concept before moving on to more advanced techniques and topics. Most importantly, Christian challenges me as a player and pushes the boundaries of my guitar technique and knowledge, while continuing to push me toward my goals. I would highly recommend Christian as a guitar coach for anyone.
