Doyle Dykes - "Me and Jesus and My Old Guitar"

[elgabboo]

Does he have butter in his fingers?

[pwhitt827]

i just dont know... its either him or Tommy.

[pdmeeker]

if I could play like that I would be happy being broke!!

[rushpowerpratt]

how

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

I had clothes on at the beginning of this video. Now it's over, I'm naked. I don't know why

[rkhgtrpkr]

One of the very best alive today. Great tone on that one.

.

[kd8ux]

OUCH !

[avprfan1]

did this just so happen to take place in Shelby NC?

[MrJimdeb]

wow...

[softman88]

I like the fingerpicking but I don't like the title, it seems to me like taking the name of Jesus in vain.

[BluSpiderProductions]

@softman88 Doyle is a very christian man. I had the honor of talking to Doyle Dykes and he is even more passionate about God than his guitars

[TheDancingSaxophone]

@BluSpiderProductions

Very true! And he was a pastor for a while, too.

[Huntersj78]

@softman88 really? Why? He is glorifying Jesus with the talent bestowed upon him.

[mathdu]

1:25 looks like he gonna shit his pants :P but what a guitarist

[javawhz]

he should pick a little faster...hahaha, just joking! FLYING fingers!

[butukau]

he has good skills...wish he would change his song style tho...every video i've seen of him has the same tune..which pretty much would make u bored over a time of listening to the same tune...

[mathdu]

from 1:26 to 1:34 i do the same face when im shitting

[gibsoneer321]

just saw him in saratoga N.Y. great guy

[stephen11811]

great song. u shud check out my rendition(me and jesus gettin laid in my car). praise the lord

[doootuz]

He's amazing! I saw him live!

[drewfustehfox]

ick

[mttkirky]

Wow, this song is awesome! Love the words and the beat! Dykes, you ROCK!

[BBosage]

Not only does he rock on the guitar, He is a super nice person to visit with as well

[BBosage]

Elizbeth97 I'm guessing you don't even like your self!!!!!!!!!!!

[MiK3i]

Or you, or me, or everybody else who has commented on this video...

Doyle Dyke rocks.

[chrisdog047]

Yeah, if you can't play good play loud!

[guitarboy32]

Nice videos you got yourself there.

[Tubeudoc67]

....you poor puppy......watched you.....so sad.

You've got promise, but not maturity in your chops.

Your comments really make you look bad.

[guitarboy32]

U2 medley is his only good song, the rest is just hillbilly and redneck crap.

[chrisdog047]

I suppose when you can play more than one note at a time you can make a judgement on him. I've heard your stuff, you suck!

[guitarboy32]

Lets see him plug into a wall of Marshall stacks, then see how good he sounds.

[aperisions]

Well he would sound just as good except loud as hell,does that answer your question guitarboy?

[reganapparel]

When asked in an interview who would he pay to go see, Chet Atkins replied, "People like Doyle Dykes, who is just an amazing finger picker, I think."

There's no higher endorsement than that.

[bro1945]

Sure makes East Tenn. proud everytime he picks

[KSProduction]

5 stars with a fat +

no comment because I have no more words!!

[Shirmia]

Thanks for Posting.

Incredible guitarrist!!!

Big Doyle!!!

5* and + of course!!!!

[Elizbeth97]

ick i dont like him!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carlo6993]

just saw him today at my school!

amazing guitar player

i was watching in awe the whole time! :D!

[Orsino89]

He seems like one of few musicians of that caliber that I can actually relate to, in person... never pass up a chance to see Doyle and Haley play live. Sounds even better live. People say his tone is trebly, but guessing it's just the mic-ing and such.

[ovationpdh]

UNREAL! What a talent!

[hammondob3]

Just saw this guy in LAKELAND. The best I have ever seen, better then Chet

[RachelTayra]

I wish i could do that.

[kraig7777]

Thank you, Dan, for showing me this one. I think I have a new favorite guitar player.

[picker50]

First time i ever heard him i caught him on tv playing this song. I am as impressed today as i was then.

[ovationpdh]

I love when he pushes the strings down on top of the headstock at 2:19. This guy is just awesome!

[sunnyspont]

neveralone,

He is pushing the string down. I have seen him in person several times - awesome!

[bassdv]

master

[bassdv]

master

[neveralone1513]

Wow this is good. Does anyone know if at 2:19 if he's actually using the tuning key or just pushing the string down? I honestly have never seen it so i dont know.

[grets6120]

He is pushing the string itself down behind the nut

[BubsGA7]

He's actually using the tuners. I have his tab book (I can't play anything from it) and it says to use the tuners.

[ramonjd]

no, he is pushing the string down like grets6120 said. i have his tab book which includes this song and if you read it, it will tell you this.

[raw665]

actually to be more specific, he is pushing the string to the centre of the headstock not down to get a bigger bend because there is not enough room to push down. i talked to him about it on tuesday.

[BubsGA7]

oops, yep...you're right. my bad. i guess i misread it the first time.

[vetwife]

Great pickin as always Doyle, can't wait to see you in person again!

[EmpyreanExile]

why doesn't he marry jesus?

[bluekeytony]

What a dick head thing to say !

[quinoacat]

Playing the Batman theme song in a guitar medley about Jesus in a Church. I love it!!! Great sense of humor Doyle. I would drag myself to Church just to see this guy rock the socks off all the old people. He looks like he would be a riot live!!!!!!!!!

[quinoacat]

Doyle Dykes = Chet Atkins on Steroids!!!

Face it the dude is very versatile for an old school style purist. He makes his Axe sound like a banjo, a harp, a piano, a locomotive train, and God knows what else because God taught him to play it all!!!

[saleall]

jesus in my guitar. waw cool . what is he doin in your guitar:P?

[quasimike]

No question: Doyle is one of the greatest. Everyone has their own opinion as to who is THE greatest, but I think it's really silly to think there is only ONE. I love anyone with talent and who's love of playing the instrument shines through in their performance. Doyle is one of only a few who accomplishes that. Thanks for posting this great video!

[DeathCubeK400]

aint that the truth

[MTHS]

what skill...

[MarkFromHawaii]

As ol' Southern boys would say: Son!

[BetterThanU123]

And Lenny Breau, Doyle's favourite player other than Chet n' Les.

[musicman9306]

Inspirational, nice Taylor

[CuntreeBoy]

Some countries are the best at certain things, Australia are the best at Cricket, New Zealand are the best at Rugby, Brazil are the best at Football, but The USA produces The World's best guitar players.

[hoisted]

Tommy Emmanuel? :)

[CuntreeBoy]

Tommy's Australian but his biggest influence is Chet Atkins who is American. Tommy's a fantastic player, hope to see him play live soon.

[heezle69]

england produces pretty good players also

[CuntreeBoy]

Pretty good, but not the best.

[MrGib95]

Please... He's above the best.

[NJlo]

Musical acts from the US just have the best possibility of going international..

[hughjarrse]

@CuntreeBoy "The USA produces The World's best guitar players" like Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Albert Lee and Allan Holdsworth

[CuntreeBoy]

@hughjarrse You forgot Guthrie govan.

[hughjarrse]

@CuntreeBoy "@hughjarrse You forgot Guthrie govan"  and Alex Hutchings

[TeamCannabis]

m r nice

[yeshuameshiach]

Doyle is awesome, check out his song called, 'The Jawbone'.

[learo42]

Sounds a lot Merle Travis when he was in his peak, would like to see Doyle and Thom Bresh(Merle's son) play together.

[jabraulter]

WOAH. Stunning that he can play that AND sing. I love it.

[bardaksivilce]

very poor ıyyyyygh

[TylerMaphis]

Tommy and Richard are great. . . no doubt about it but. . . this is the man

Tyler

[sirpeter1946]

Tommy is a monument here ;)

[Garzog]

This is great! Who is Tommy? Please.

[sirpeter1946]

Tommy Emmanuel from Australia

[Garzog]

Yes. Thank you.  I just saw his vids.

[ikra]
