To mrguru182 and tonybengtsson. Doyle dykes got this good by practising a lot but God has also helped him cause this is Gods plan for his life. However you tony.... got good thru practise alone and by the way mr guru is right why do athiest use the word hell if you dont believe in it especially when athiests tell someone to go to hell.
Doyle Dykes should be a household name. He and Tommy Emmanuel are the best. They don't just play the notes, the play with all their heart, and really know how to turn a phrase, caress a note.
@5K1NN1T No, but that was very good guess. It is actually DGDGAD (Open G). It is a great tuning, and it is a great way to sort of give yourself a head-start if you want to learn 5-string Banjo but don't own one yet!
After hearing that I want to throw my guitar out the back door. That was awesome and can't wait to check out his other stuff! This is why youtube is great........WOW!
Doyle Dykes is the best Acoustic Guitarist i ever heard "T...h...e B...e...s..t ".The first time i heard him play was at Harvest Christain Fellowship ,He was touring the "Hurricane Earthquakes and Tomatoes " .I love his playing so much i went and bought his CD.I love that CD.......................Buy the way Doyle ,somone one had to steel that CD....and it had to be one of my favorites.
Athiests don't believe in heaven so why do use Hell as an expletive. You can"t have it both ways you jealous mediocre' good" guitar player. Some things are above you ,So go whine in some corner and be insulted as much as you like. Doyle is gi
What the hell has god got to do with talented musicians?? I worked hard at becoming a good guitarist and I'm an Athiest. I consider it an insult that anyone would give credit to all my hard work to some deity.
wow, what a fantastic guitar player. i dont like country music at all, but this guy had me from the first couple of notes he played. absolutely amazing. i have never heard of this guy till today. im glad i stumbled upon this gem!
@jdlow77 Answer: the human brain. Next question will be: "and where did this amazing brain come from?" Billions of years of evolution. Hey, thanks for posting. Great video, we can agree he is awesome!
@benbrown4544 i went to one of his more private concerts at newell's music in greenwood, SC and he told about a story of the white rose signature on all is guitars. it's a pretty good story but too long to put in 500 characters so you'd have to look it up
I've heard about that story. His daughter wanted it and a lady at one of his shows had given it to him in foil. She said God had told her to give it to him. So powerful man.
If I wanted to lie to myself I'd say, "One day, I'll be able to play like this." This dude rocks the living sh*t out of Wabash Cannonball. Absolutely amazing.
he chenes it open g chord but unfortunately my high e string wont stretch that car and it just snaps its so frustrating id love to learn this even though its ridiculously hard
Tune your guitar down and put a capo on it. ie. if he is tuned to G B D G B G tune your guitar to E Ab B E Ab E put a capo on the 3rd fret and Bob's your uncle.
Alternatively use a lighter gauge for the problem string
@Jcm9991 what i am trying to say, is if you couldn't play somthing like that by just figuring it out, your musical knowledge is not great enough to be able to play it by looking @ a tab
Doyle Dykes makes his guitar sound like a guitar-banjo duet! When he bends that note, you can hear the train a-comin', a-comin' round the bend...,. The progression down the neck of his guitar send shivers down my neck. This is a totally virtuoso definitive Wabash Cannonball. What was that stuff about his being Christian? Who cares? I come to YouTube for the music! Geez Louise! (a bowdlerism for those who don't want anyone to take the name of their deity in vain.)
Wow...I think he's the best acoustic player ever...and the tuning device is just a Peterson Strobe tuner...130 to 200 bucks. Nothing too special...but Doyle is a great musician.
This guy came to our little church in Hayward California, you should hear his testimony. Elvis Presley wanted to hire him, he is one of the cleanest finger pickers I've heard.
Thank you for the introduction to Andy Mckee, I'd never heard of him. Yes I do like his playing, your right it's a different style, not particularly my style but he's definitely got over the top skills. I enjoyed that very much, thank you skydiver555.
@Frosty1962 He is a special man. I have seen him twice and heard his story. For my graduation present my parents bought me a Doyle Dykes Signature Series from the custom shop. It's a one of a kind, not a production model, and was featured in the Namm Show. I knew that his guitar was something I wanted. Later in life it will be a great story to tell others about where my instrument came from and about Doyle and his life.
How nice, a custom signature guitar. You not only have a great guitar but a story that goes with it. Doyle is so underrated it's not even funny. I'd love to see him again.
hmmm, would you say tommy emmanuel is a good player, because he's a Christian. How about Paul Jackson Jr. (guitarist on American Idol band), he's also a Christian. How about Abe Laboriel? Also a Christian.
@jdlow77 Got a question for you. How can we tell the difference among a guitar player blessed by God, one who is just naturally good and one who made a deal with the Devil?
@KARNAGE94 (re your reply to jdlow77 who uploaded this) He/she was responding to someone else's comment about 10 pages back... the "you agree he's pretty good, right" was with regards to someone dissing Doyle's faith which is a huge part of his drive to "perfect" his "gift" since he believes his talent was given to him to better humanity/encourage people, not to get glory/fame/riches on earth. The uploader was intentionally understating his massive ability ;)
@jdlow77 All the players you mentioned are world class pros,to bad they preach false man made reilgions,Let me hear the great guitar playing but keep the religion to yourself
@mikosoft Yeah, how does his guitar not go out of tune doing that !?!? Man, this is such a great vid. Sounds like the train is running off the tracks around 2:15. He has got so much style. My new favorite guitarist :)
AWESOME! Yes! I first met Doyle 16 years ago. He was awesome before on the electric guitar. Do get to see him in person about twice a year...He is 10 times more awesome in person & keeps improving every year....I don't think he knows any any limits. His whole family & children are awesome musicians too.
I saw him a few years back. Seeing him in person was unreal even compared to a video. My mom is a music teacher and i've spent my whole life around music even we were floored at the sound that came from one guy and one guitar. At times, it sounded like a harp or a whole band of string instruments
He's a country fingerpicker. If you like his music, you should look for videos by Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel, and Chet Atkins, they all have similar styles.
It' the DDSM Taylor. (Doyle Dykes Signature Model). It has a hexaphonic pick up and sounds sweet as a nut when he plugs into his Rivera Sedona amp which is his signature amp.
LOL, sort of. It's an amp that he sat down and designed in conjunction with Rivera. The same with his guitar. I have seen him live in England at Taylor workshops about 7 times. The sound from the guitar out of that amp is beautiful. He's also a gentleman too.
It is an acoustic. The "hexaphonic" pick up means that there is an individual pick up for every string down at the bridge end. L.R Baggs make it so you know it's quality. Most of the other Taylors have the expression system on them which is a pick up under the bridge and neck to catch the vibrations of teh sound board. The DDSM though when I looked was about 4000 pounds compared to 1400 pounds for my 310ce.
So you just sucumb to puny little insults to hide your lack of satisfaction from life? You say i have a lesser mind and that I play with myself? You're 45 years old! Don't you have a family or a job? Stop being this Youtube know-it-all that you so much allegedly hate.
Real musicians call them "barre chords," not "bar chords." God, save me from Youtube know-it-alls and other fools.
We're dealing with four different skill levels here: I play well, I don't play nearly as well as Doyle Dykes does. You play Guitar Hero. Badly. And mashafasha5 plays with himself. Also badly.
And you two still don't know how to spot sarcasm, even when someone tells you it is sarcasm. How pathetic is that?
I've seen this guy 7 times in England when he does the Taylor Guitar workshops. He is jaw droppingly brilliant that leaves all others in his wake. Yeah Tommy Emmanuel is great but Doyle is better. His Banjo licks on guitar are so unique!
I saw this guy at a Sam Ash clinic. I was mezmerized with his talent. The guy is right up there with the best.His attitude and his interaction with the audience was nothing but pure humility and graciousness.Class act all the way !!!
not necessarily tuning his guitar but using the the change in tuning to bend the note... the man is pure genius in my opinion... I consider his talent right up there with Chet Atkins and the now late Les Paul.
doyle dykes gave me his guitar pick for free while i was in church with him.

Oh, cool. Where do they put the hexaphonic pickups on a DDSM? I thought it was an acoustic guitar.
acr08807 2 years ago
It is an acoustic. The "hexaphonic" pick up means that there is an individual pick up for every string down at the bridge end. L.R Baggs make it so you know it's quality. Most of the other Taylors have the expression system on them which is a pick up under the bridge and neck to catch the vibrations of teh sound board. The DDSM though when I looked was about 4000 pounds compared to 1400 pounds for my 310ce.

Thanks, you know your stuff.
4,000 pounds sounds like a lot for a guitar for me, though. I'm not that strong.

He's no doubt a great guitarist, but he doesn't respect his audience. He keeps gining them "the finger" during his performance (at 2:28 for example).
acr08807 2 years ago
WOW.... seriously? He is barring the strings to play chords when he does that, not flipping off the crowd. Grow up.

Maybe you two experts could take lessons together in identifying sarcasm, because you're both sorely lacking on that front.
acr08807 2 years ago
So the point on your original comment was to show how awesome you are using sarcasm?
mashafasha5 2 years ago
No. It's not about me at all. The point was to see which guy or two in here was clueless enough to miss it completely. And now we know.
Mission Accomplished!
acr08807 2 years ago
Why would you do something like that? It's absurd.
mashafasha5 2 years ago
I like to screw with lesser minds. I know, it's not much of a hobby, but I find it relaxing.
acr08807 2 years ago
So you just sucumb to puny little insults to hide your lack of satisfaction from life? You say i have a lesser mind and that I play with myself? You're 45 years old! Don't you have a family or a job? Stop being this Youtube know-it-all that you so much allegedly hate.
mashafasha5 2 years ago
Yes, I say that you have a lesser mind and that you play with yourself.
acr08807 2 years ago
You didn't answer my question.
mashafasha5 2 years ago
and how old are u?
Grow up
see unlike you, other people play music that don't invovle bar chords
what he does takes talent
which u probly don't have

Real musicians call them "barre chords," not "bar chords." God, save me from Youtube know-it-alls and other fools.
We're dealing with four different skill levels here: I play well, I don't play nearly as well as Doyle Dykes does. You play Guitar Hero. Badly. And mashafasha5 plays with himself. Also badly.
And you two still don't know how to spot sarcasm, even when someone tells you it is sarcasm. How pathetic is that?

I've seen this guy 7 times in England when he does the Taylor Guitar workshops. He is jaw droppingly brilliant that leaves all others in his wake. Yeah Tommy Emmanuel is great but Doyle is better. His Banjo licks on guitar are so unique!
SaskStrum 2 years ago 3
I don't know how you judge that one is better. Tommy's left hand dexterity is far superior to Doyle or anyone else I've seen short of Segovia.

WOW!
Is he actually tuning his guitar as he plays?
MrBillTroop73 2 years ago
not necessarily tuning his guitar but using the the change in tuning to bend the note... the man is pure genius in my opinion... I consider his talent right up there with Chet Atkins and the now late Les Paul.
