Saw doyle at my church growing up christ the king in oxford michigan. Didnt play then but watching him burned into me what real reeeeaal talent and ability are and he seems like a genuinely kind dude
Thankyou Doyle and Thankyou Sweetwater ! That was a great exhibition, I've been flat picking for 39 years and I always have admired the Claw, Travis picking and such. It impresses me and is just a different sound and I can't do it (yet).
I've had the pleasure of playing with Doyle a few times. What a great man. He is a very sweet humble guy. He used to come to a little church in Lompoc Ca. I was just a kid about 18 to 20 years old. See profile pic. Thats about 1990. Me and my wife. I am a guitar player mostly. I played the drums in Church then. Anyway in the worship songs I played the dums. He played with our worship team too. So technically I played with him. 😆 He let me play his guitar once. Chet Akins gave it too him. I did not fully understand the gravity of it then. Still is cherish the experience. I bought a finger picking VHS of his. I think i still have it. I can play my own chicking picking thing because of him. Thanks Doyle 😊
Sweetwater you must check out The Richard Kiser. He was very close to Chet Atkins and has hosted the conference many years. He is the master of this style. He is with Gretch Guitars and is truly a Hall of Famer.

I always look forward to Doyle Dykes videos!! Thank you!!
Saw Doyle do a clinic in Edmonton a few years back and it was terrific. Really nice guy and one heck of a guitar player.
Awesome player. Awesome Godly dude. Thanks for sharing Doyle.

This is right up my alley!
This tune is called "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" GREAT tune! (there are a more videos of Doyle playing on TH-cam as well!)
Wow such talent
Nice! I love that. Thank you.
What Epiphone are you playing there Doyle? That sure is a beautiful guitar!!
Fabulous!
I feel a Gibson signature Doyle dykes model coming on soon.

He really motivated me selling all my guitars…
What kind of guitar is he playing in this demo. ???
I heard that after Merle gave you a guitar lesson, he could fix your pocketwatch or draw you a cartoon 😉
Please tell the editor to ALWAYS switch away from his left hand when he's showing something! It's very important that we don't see!
Sweet water you are so rich but don't give anything for free or giveaways.
