 San Francisco Bay Area guitarist, Doug Doppler, is best known for Nu Instrumental, which was released on Steve Vai’s Favored Nations label. Like Vai, Doppler studied under the tutelage of guitarist extraordinaire Joe Satriani. In fact, it was Satch who presented the album to Vai for signing consideration. Doppler toured extensively for Nu Instrumental, supporting Michael Schenker in the U.S., and Gilby Clarke across Europe.  When Satriani went out tour in support of ‘Surfing’ he asked Doug to take over teaching duties at Berkeley’s Second Hand Guitar Company. And thanks to an invitation from Satch to teach at the first G4 Experience guitar camp, Dreamcatcher Events hired Doug to teach at Steve Vai’s, John Petrucci’s, and Paul Gilbert’s camps as well.  For more information please visit DougDopplerMusic.com, @DougDopplerMusic on Faceboook, Instagram, and YouTube, or message DougDoppler@GMail.com
