Hal Leonard Publishes The Worship Guitar Book

Doug Doppler’s inspirational guide to the goods, the gear and the gifting for the worship
guitarist


Montclair, NJ (May 21, 2013) – With the release of The Worship Guitar Book, acclaimed guitar talent and
music industry expert Doug Doppler has written the most comprehensive guide for today’s worship
guitarists. Being an accomplished musician and a true worshipper himself, he understands the challenges
that worship guitarists face every day, and provides answers and help for those who want to express their
love for God through the gift of music.

The book offers practical advice on spiritual, musical, technical and practical topics for beginning worship
guitarists and seasoned worship pastors alike. Doppler demonstrates practice routines and rehearsal
techniques designed to mold readers into excellent guitarists while showing them how to blend high musical
standards with a heart that’s pure and ready to worship God. Today’s most influential and experienced
music ministers, such as Phil Keaggy, Ben Kasica (Skillet), Jeffrey Kunde (Jesus Culture), Kendall Combes
(Charlie Hall), Keith Gassette (Deluge), Michael Guy Chislett (Hillsong), Ray Badham (Hillsong), and others
share their insight, not only in regards to leading their congregation, but also on how they have achieved
success and managed to keep their humility by staying close to their faith and their church.

The Worship Guitar Book also features interviews with equipment manufacturers to provide in-depth
information on gear and technology best suited for Houses of Worship, and conversations with musical
heavy-weights such as Rob Lewis (Musical Director for Babyface, Christina Aguilera, P. Diddy, and Patti
LaBelle), on how to create masterful music and lead inspired teams.

Each chapter ends with a consideration, some spiritual and some practical in nature, as well as a short list
of questions inviting the reader to think through the subject on his own terms and to apply the learned to his
unique situation.

The Worship Guitar Book is nothing short of the “bible” for its field. Written content is brought to life via
the included DVD-ROM which features over two hours of video and audio content. The text also includes
numerous QR Codes, further allowing the reader to experience visually and audibly the exercises and
technology explained in the book. Doppler doesn’t leave anything on the table and delivers musical and
technical knowledge as well as the inspiration to serve both God and your congregation better than ever
before.

Menlo Park, CA – May 2013… For anyone fascinated with flying using a jetpack, there is now a more cost effective opportunity to experience the thrill of taking flight: the Water Powered Flyboard. This new, French engineered water toy uses a wakeboard-like base and two hand-held nozzles that, when pulled by a personal watercraft, enables one to fly and perform a wide range of motions. To feature this exciting new creation, AOL Auto’s Translogic decided to create a demonstration video to be shown at their technology showcase. The challenging task of capturing close-up sound for this Water Powered Flyboard video was contracted to HartFX, LLC of Orlando, FL, a company specializing in providing sound effects libraries and editorial for films and video games.

The Producer also Works with KRK’s KNS Headphones and VXT8 Active Studio Monitors during all Productions

When it comes to bringing out the best of a recording artist’s talent and style on an album or single, super-producer Harmony “H-Money” Samuels has few rivals. Having worked with a long list of today’s most popular vocalists and musicians, including Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Chipmunk, Keyshia Cole, Estelle, Fantasia,  Maroon 5, pop star Ariana Grande and many others, music has been a part of his life since the very beginning. Getting the right sound for these productions—one that is true to the artist’s style and intent—requires very precise studio equipment. That’s why Samuels relies on Gibson Pro Audio’s KRK Rokit 8 Monitors.
