I heard about your rendition of this song over on a the Blind Pig and the Acorn channel. I had to come listen. Im mesmerized! 😊I love your style of playing.
I live in WNC near the GSMNP. It’s been quite the couple of weeks. 😢the stories coming out from the deep hollers and hills in ritual areas! Stories of survival and tragedy. There are no words. 🙏 I listened to an old Billy Graham revival recording from 1987 tonight. I grew up watching his revivals on 📺 (id have to go out and turn the antenna 😊). I sure do miss him. His son has sone fine work. So, that and now this, has made for a nice evening. Thank you. I think I need to come here more often. 🥰

Hooray for more Random Late Night Picking - err Pickin'. This is such a fun arrangement you do with the bender and your fast playing. Very nice to see that picture of Roy Rogers back up in view on your wall.

One of my favorite DD specialties! Thanks for the rerun Doyle! You must have played that a thousand times but always look like you are having fun doing it.

Every guitar player that I’ve ever seen live has always inspired me to practice more. Like Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Clark, Eddie Van Halen and so on. But then I saw Doyle Dykes for FREE! at a clinic. I sat there in the front row with my mouth open. When it was over I seriously considered giving up playing guitar. But I couldn’t I love it too much. So I bought the Virtuoso Fingerstyle Guitar book by Mr. Dykes and set out to
learn Wabash Cannonball. What a workout. I’ve been practicing it for months and I’ve barely made a dent. But that’s okay, He’s made me a better player. And I want to thank you sir. When I get home from work I play the guitar not the TV.
And when I finally started feeling better about my guitar playing, I saw Tommy Emmanuel live. And the whole thing started over again. 😂

That blows me away every time I see him play it. He can get so much music with just that thumb, it's incredible!

Doyle, you can see Wabash just getting it down the track as you play. Here's a plug "Sunday Morning String Along", with Doyle Dykes don't miss it.🎉🎉🎉

That's my favorite guitar of yours, you watch and hear you play. Gorgeous looks and wonderful sound.

[trukapipa]

Fun! Epic harmonic bend at the end to wrap it up in style!

[AaronNelmuso]

We all love listening to you play, brother Doyle. You really give us cause to praise God with your amazing ability and gifting. Please don't ever stop

[daleguthormsen]

it is the best rendition !!

Always an inspiration.

You are a blessing !

Doyle, you always amaze me with the number of voicings you can get out of a single guitar. The subtle little bends to make this iconic song sound like crying steel. The basses are thundering much like a stand up bass, and of course the hot picking of this recognizable melody line. Great Job, Doyle. I'm a big fan and always look forward to the Sunday String Alongs.

DOYLE DYKES – Wabash Cannonball
Google to be reminded that this Bluegrass classic “with a tune from the 1880s” was originally made famous by “Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys” circa 1936.
Best ever instrumental version? This one (says me) just posted (2/9/2024) by Doyle Dykes. Some devilishly difficult picking that Doyle delivers perfectly, beginning to end, managing to make it look (almost) easy. How does he do it?

Doyle was playing this instrument, his signature model TAYLOR when my guitarist son Ben saw him perform at a Toronto music store – and called me to say “Best guitarist I have ever seen, Dad.” So, like father like son.

By the time Mr. Dykes begins to accelerate the pace around the 1:39 mark, I'm getting goosebumps. You too?

I heard you play this for the first time at my church and I was absolutely in awe, and after the hundredth time of listening to you play this, it still puts the biggest smile on my face! So good!

[randybock]

You made that cat sound like a dobro for a while 😄

[BlaisPianoGuitars]
