About Me
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 ! DOUG DOPPLERIbanez Joe Satriani 20th Anniversary Show DD, Herman Li, Satch, Paul Gilbert, and Marty Freidman playing Foxey Lady Contratulations on 20 AMAZING years Satch!!!Doug Doppler - Certified Guitar Hero. With the 7.24.07 release of Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80's, Doug Doppler is now officially certifiable.In addition to serving as a house musician for WaveGroup Sound (best known for their work on the Guitar Hero franchise), Doug has spent much of the past two years on touring the globe with acts like Michael Schenker (U.S. 2007) and Gilby Clarke (Europe 2006), and as a clinician for Ibanez guitars (Italy, U.K., New Zealand, Australia and U.S.). Doug has also shared the stage with Joe Satriani, Neal Schon, and Uli Jon Roth.Signed to Steve Vai's highly acclaimed Favored Nations label, Doug's playing is both melodic and intense. An avid 7-String fanatic, Doppler is inspired by both the heaviness that the low range of the instrument provides, as well as the soaring nature of the high strings when played at the top of the neck - "I love the fact that the same guitar can have so much growl and be incredibly melodic at the same time. For me, the juxtaposition of these sounds opens up so many doors sonically." And yes, Doppler can shred with the best of them - in 2004 Doppler's band played the G3 show with Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen in the San Fransisco Bay Area, Doug's home.June 2007 saw the release of the Guitar Masters CD. Doug's "Zero Gravity", originally recorded as a promotional piece for the Ibanez ZR tremolo, sits along side songs by Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Stanley Clarke, Zakk Wylde, John Paul Jones, Steve Morse, and Billy Sheehan. "To be on the same disc with so many legendary players is both humbling and at times unbelievable" says Doppler.Although he no longer teaches privately, guitarists everywhere can study with Doug via his highly regarded Guitar 411 DVD series. In the April 2006 issue of Guitar Player magazine, associate editor Jude Gold had this to say - “When you're serious about learning this information - which you should be - then clinician, teacher, and Favored Nations recording artist Doug Doppler is the perfect guy to beat it into your head.” "Diatonic Theory and Harmony", the first title in the Guitar 411 series is joined by "Whammy Bar Mojo" which was released in May 2007.

International Orders - $40 + $10 shipping/handling OVERVIEW: "Diatonic Theory and Harmony" What is Diatonic theory and why is it important to me as a gutiarist? As a teacher, it has been one of my main goals to instill the same sort of knowledge into my students that people who have read music for years have. If you played the triads for the key of C Major on the piano, you would move up and down hitting every other white key in groups of 3 notes, if you were just voicing the chords 1,3,5. On the staff that would alternate between notes stacked on 3 adjacent lines and three adjacent spaces. In the act of reading that, pianists learn how triads are built because they have to read and play each note. If a guitarist sees a C Major chord, they know what shape to play and where to play it, and that is about it. My job is to give guitarists a reference point to get them up to speed by learning how to construct / disect the modes, and in turn reference key scale degree numbers like the 1,3,5 from each mode to build triad/chords. Because most guitarists read charts only (if they read any music at all), using the shapes of scales compared to the major scale is a key trick to visually breaking down the differnces between each of the 7 modes based on the major scale. In turn, once you know the differences AND simimlarities, it becomes easy to construct and deconstruct chords and figure out how they fit diatonically. I have created a number of exercises that show you systematically how break down scales into their scale degree numbers, and in turn build chords off of these numbers, and simultaneously have exercises showing you how to place triads, power chords, 7 chords, (9) chords diatonically. Additionally, the accompanying audio CD features chord progressions for each of the above types of chords and in the final segment of the DVD I outline how the chord progressions are functioning diatonically, as well as what you can play over the top. If you can't apply it, I shouldn't be teaching it!
