Doyle is the nicest guy ever. He was a guest at the church I used to play at and I asked him a simple question about his picking technique but the conversation was soon interrupted. Later that morning, I got a text from the worship pastor saying "Doyle is asking for you". I go to the back, and Doyle is sitting in one of the offices with two chairs and two guitars, and he gave me a lesson (and let me film it) for about an hour.
That’s so cool! I got to meet him about 3 weeks ago at my church. He signed my guitar, found out I was a worship leader, and prayed for me. It must have been cool to get a lesson from him!
This is a lovely mini concert. I especially loved “How Great Thou Art” it was my Father-in-Law’s favorite. When he died I was allowed to keep the framed sheet music he had on his wall. Many Merry Christmases to Doyle🎼🎶🎄
Playing guitar is compulsive, buying guitars is addictive, but Doyle's style is just plain infectious! Happy Holidays all! Just grab your favorite acoustic and play!
I've got to be honest... I've never heard of this guy, but he's one of the best guitarists I've ever heard in my 47 years of existence on this planet. Thank you for this gift Sweetwater!
Check out Everyone Loves Guitar.... Craig did an interview with Doyle.... Very down to earth guy! th-cam.com/video/FWTJy3sPZF4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EveryoneLovesGuitar
Doyle! I've heard you over the last few years. Your gift is so welcome. I appreciate the depth of spirit you bring to your presence and remarks, ...even allulding to your own faith, but without pressing it on others, but instead offering the true spirit beyond all difference. Thank you for sharing yourself and your talent!!
My dad always loved listening to Doyle Dykes. My dad played guitar and was decent but never gave himself much credit on his own ability. My dad passed away on Christmas Eve 2017, but I come back to Doyle Dykes guitar videos to remember my dad and his love for Doyle's music.
EVH said of this guy that he had never heard a guitar played like that.....one of the highest compliments a guitar player could ever had....Chet Atkins also had very high praise for this man.....this man has a God given amazing gift.....👍
Doyle never fails to impress me. Seen him perform several times. His mastery of the guitar is incredible. Love his 12 string abilities. I'm always inspired to buy more guitars after seeing Doyle play.
Fantastic show. I'm a big fan of Sweetwater too. I'm in California, but was lucky enough to take a road trip to Indiana and take a tour. My wife even went down their slide.
Doyle, I was truly blessed to hear you play. What a wonderful testimony you have for our Lord and it comes through so beautifully in your guitar playing. ....Russell D.
Thanks again for another Sunday message, sort of strange that you mentioned Job, I just finished the Book of Job, and what a great story. May God Bless, and you, and keep fulfilling our Sunday blessings.
Doyle is awesome! One of my top five favorite guitarists. Sweetwater is awesome! Wayne Davis is awesome! He has been my sales engineer for several years too! He has become a good friend and has made me a very happy customer. I purchase all my music gear at 'Sweetwater'. Gary K.
Tommy and Doyle are both Fantastic. Music is not a competition. “You play great but you should hear this person or that person” I hate this kinda comment.
@@30smsuperstrat Roy was a flat picker. He could not do the fingerstyle that Doyle, and others do. It's a different world. Roy's forte was showmanship! He was a great performer. I saw him many times and he never disappointed. Check out Doyle's rendition of Wabash Cannonball at the NAMM show several years ago.
Oh my days. This guys’ playing sets my soul alight. If this video doesn’t make you smile I don’t know what will. Beautiful, entertaining and just top class. Sweetwater are where it’s at. Also what a gentleman and true spirit
Doyle has a great channel on TH-cam if anyone is unaware. One of my dream bills is Doyle playing with Setzer and Duke Robbillard for a night of Guitar extravaganza
Have to say this guy is amazing 👏. Had the pleasure to sit in a small guitar place and listen to him play and learned about his fam. Even bought the guitar he played that night and signed the neck. One of the best pickers still alive.
Hats off to Sweetwater for highlighting this treasure or a guitarist and bringing him to a wider audience. Guitarist of all genres need to witness this master class in fingerstyle guitar.
Outstanding concert! Thank you to Guild and Sweetwater! What a fine performance and demonstration of the guitars. So wonderful! Doyle did a simply fabulous job!
Thank you so much for this video Sweetwater! This is, hands down, one of the best videos you guys have ever done. More Doyle please, he's probably the world's greatest fingerstyle guitarist and certainly a wonderful person.
I am very thankful to have the opportunity to hear this man play. I am also very fortunate to have met him and have the chance to hear him play live. He is an inspiration and a joy to hear and see play. Thanks to Sweetwater for hosting him through their TH-cam channel. Merry Christmas to everyone.
Thank you for all your beautiful music, Doyle. You really restored the spirit of Christmas in me! really hope one day we can meet. Merry Christmas to you and your family! I'm guitar poor😂but I wouldn't want it any other way! Blessings, Dan
Happy Holidays everyone!

Man Doyle’s positivity and genius is a joy to the world
You are right up there with Chet, Jerry,Tommy and Merle
WOW! that 12 string has a big and beautiful sound in Doyle's masterful hands.
Im stunned.

Where have you been?
Said that same thing the first time I heard him
He played with grandpa Jones, also jd Sumner.... Tommy Emanuel, chet Atkins...
WoW!!!
If I could play less an inch like you, I would be the happiest man on earth..thanks for your inspiration Mr. Doyle Dykes.

My new Christmas Classic! Merry Christmas to you all! God 🙏 Bless
The only guitarist who plays both Merle and Chet thumb style with ease and perfection. Amazing guitarist .
I can't get enough of his playing as well
Doyle never fails to impress me. Seen him perform several times. His mastery of the guitar is incredible. Love his 12 string abilities. I'm always inspired to buy more guitars after seeing Doyle play.
How great thou art . My grandpas favorite . Superb playing
Fantastic show. I'm a big fan of Sweetwater too. I'm in California, but was lucky enough to take a road trip to Indiana and take a tour. My wife even went down their slide.

Doyle Loves Jesus and it shows. Love him.
Been playing 46 years and feel like a total beginner when I watch Doyle! Merry Christmas!
Thanks again for another Sunday message, sort of strange that you mentioned Job, I just finished the Book of Job, and what a great story. May God Bless, and you, and keep fulfilling our Sunday blessings.
Never hear of him that I can remember but he’s incredible!!! I’m a new fan. Thanks Sweetwater!! 🎄🎁
Sweetwater and sweet guitar! Only certain players have a gift of playing your are among the very best thank you for sharing your gift!
If we can't have Chet play for us, at least we can have Doyle. Thanks Sweetwater this is fun!
Doyle is awesome! One of my top five favorite guitarists. Sweetwater is awesome! Wayne Davis is awesome! He has been my sales engineer for several years too! He has become a good friend and has made me a very happy customer. I purchase all my music gear at 'Sweetwater'. Gary K.
He's the GOAT can't argue with me otherwise. Never seen a man be able to play like him. Much less on a acoustic?
Doyle is fantastic. Now check out Tommy Emmanuel you’ll probably rethink the whole GOAT business.
@@marike1100 nah I've seen both in person and I easily think doyle is better.
Tommy and Doyle are both Fantastic. Music is not a competition. “You play great but you should hear this person or that person” I hate this kinda comment.
Sorry Roy Clark could play circles around Doyle, and he'd tell you that too.

WHO in the world would give this a thumbs down?
His O Holy Night would bring a tear to a glass eye
Wow! And wow to Guild 12 strings.
Saw him live at our church a few years ago, an amazing talent!!!! 🙌
Doyle has to be the best out there TODAY! Love to watch him play!!!
Doyle Dykes is so amazing
Love this man and his playing.
The master of guitar!!!
Oh my days. This guys’ playing sets my soul alight. If this video doesn’t make you smile I don’t know what will. Beautiful, entertaining and just top class. Sweetwater are where it’s at. Also what a gentleman and true spirit
What a talent for our generation! Thank you Sweetwater for such a thoughtful gift!
Doyle is the best, Thanks Sweetwater!

My favorite two segments have been the "Greensleeves" on the 12 String and "How Great Thou Art". Fabulous!
Only a few minutes and I’m loving it already. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I just started getting into his music! Great player for sure. So excited
Stunning playing. If he keeps practicing he'll be pretty good! 😊
Thank you brother for your time 🙂
Thank you for all your beautiful music, Doyle. You really restored the spirit of Christmas in me! really hope one day we can meet. Merry Christmas to you and your family! I'm guitar poor😂but I wouldn't want it any other way! Blessings, Dan
This totally made my day ! Absolutely amazing !
What a wonderful set! Thank you to Everyone and Mr. Dykes for that amazing performance!
Thank you! The little Cordoba was my favorite.
What a sweet man and incredible player! This was a pleasant surprise and blessing to listen to around the house this morning.
He's preaching the truth about being guitar poor!!!
Legendary player, wonderful arrangements, beautiful guitars! Thanks Sweetwater for the gift! Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much for this SW & Doyle! Got me in the spirit!
I am from the Fort and could not be prouder of Sweewater Sound. What a great company.
What a legend! Amazing talent and dedication

素晴らしい‼️😀😀😀
Mighty Fine!
Beautiful, as always. Very few can express themselves on a guitar like this. One of the sweetest souls on this Earth, Doyle Dykes. ❤️
Most amazing entertaining demo on TH-cam I can’t believe this is a demo
Thank you Sweetwater, we love Doyle down here in Australia. I'll be playing this again on Christmas Day.
Happy Christmas!
Master Doyle, you are the best of the best ! ♥️
Saw him play at a guitar store here in Michigan some years ago around Christmas time. What a amazing guitarist and a genuine down to earth man.
Happy holidays. A blessing Doyle
You are one of my favorite artists! Thank you sir, for the music, you have touched my heart
Great. That twelve string is a beauty.
As great a player as he is - even greater guy!
Merry Christmas Doyle! Thank you for the concert!🙂🤶🏼
Wow - so beautiful. Thank you Sweetwater and Doyle.
Dude is a master shredder
God Bless You Doyle!
What a player!
Outstanding performance!!!!
Absolutely Spectacular! One of the finest guitar players of all time.
So good! Thanks for this holiday gift @Sweetwater. Thoroughly enjoying this concert! Guitar Poor! Feel like that song was written just for me!
Fantastic! Thank you, and Merry Christmas, Doyle. I've seen you live several times and you never fail to amaze.
"How many more guitars do you need? Just one more!"... Haaa!
Sweet holiday set!
Merry Christmas even if it’s early! I love your playing and I do believe God gifted you with fingers and fun to play!
Loved it! I think he could make an $89.00 Guitar sound good!
Outstanding, PTL, brother!
Fantastic from start to finish. Not sure who the two thumbs down people are but my guess is that can even play an F chord without buzzing the frets.
I feel your pain, Doyle. I'm banjo and guitar poor! Merry CHRISTmas!
Great !
2:31 min. Imagine walkin' into a guitar store.. grap a guitar and start playing this.. 🙂 LOL
Thank you sir , I got one guitar from Sweetwater. I'm guitar pour also enjoying my guitars . Marry Christmas.
Just thanks for this.
Thanks Sweetwater
AWESOME
Superb !
Thumbs up as high as I can reach.
Saturday Nigh Shuffle... whaooooo !
Chet was once told he was the best and only one. His responce was "you must not have
heard Doyle Dykes Play"
WOW! This was great! Really enjoyed it!!
