Here’s a portion of the review in the July/August 2010 issue of the magazine.

Worship Leader got a hold of the three DVDs in the series, the first is an Electric Guitar series, Electric Guitar Essentials. Designed for intermediate to advanced learners, this first in the series takes the learner and attempts to improve every aspect of their playing. Not content with just “showing the way” of doing better, Jeff Askew, renowned session musician and Adjunct Faculty Guitar Instructor at a Christian University in Southern California, takes the learner “behind the scenes” (so to speak) and teaches the theories and the “whys” behind how to improve that technique. In an easygoing style Jeff shows the learner how to build creative guitar parts and layer them in any key to enhance their playing and their ministry.

With over 100 minutes of instruction time and shot in HD, this DVD, as the others in the series, comes complete with a printable digital lesson book that provides reinforcement for the lessons on the DVD. Electric Guitar Essentials provides the learner with the ability to create interesting guitar parts for any song. This DVD is a must for anyone serious about playing an electric guitar.
