I don’t care what genre of music you like, this guy is so talented you have to enjoy this song for the musical talent that is magically flowing through his fingers. I have to admit I have always enjoyed this song never heard it played like this. WOW!

In 2009 I saw Doyle. His playing and his humility got to me. After the show he gave me a thumb-pick and I still have it.

Love this Guy so down to earth and a world class musician.

Best rendition I've ever heard! The hair on my neck wont sit down! Awesome

[virtualpilgrim]

Every time this guy plucks a string, it vibrates at a frequency in tune with the rest of the guitar. It takes great skill over many years to achieve this kind of perfection.

I never get sick of listening to him play, a true world class pro, There are a few elite, Doyle is one of them..

I first heard Doyle way back in 1989, when I went to church one Sunday evening, expecting sermon and he played a concert instead. We got a sermon alright, a musical one that I still remember.
Don't be deceived, Doyle practiced that tune for a long time before playing it like he did here. You don't play like that, with your eyes closed, off the top of your head, and then repeat it "cut" time.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING !!!
Doyle is quite the showman! He's good, and he know it! He does everything the way you've always wished it could sound like!
He came to GraceWorks Church, in Chattanooga, TN., and took over our service, when our pastor was out sick. He provided the live music, and his daughter sang a few songs.
In my own personal opinion, there is no one better on the Grand Ole' Opry ! He certainly has his own style! He plays his own back-up, his own second string, and, of course, lead guitar...and he puts it all together seamlessly! He's a mild mannered man, soft spoken, but not someone to under estimate! There's NO BETTER out there!
Thanks Doyle!

Doyle, Missed seeing you & hearing your fabulous unique DD fingerstyle these past 4 years!
No one can play this tune as well as you do!
Grandpa Jones would be so proud of you!

Saw this guy and met him when he was representing Taylor guitars at my local music store In Manchester England. He arrived with Bob Taylor one time. Best acoustic guitars ever. Absolutely phenomenal player and also has a very talented daughter called Hayley.

Extraordinary; to be able to meld astonishing technique with genuine musicality is a rare gift.

When I think I've heard the best guitar picker, then along comes Doyle Dykes.

[maddogwrestlingfan]

I never heard of this man... But now I did.. And I feel my musical interest just kicked up a notch.. Dang, he's excellent.. Thank you for uploading this...

[RetiredLover]

Man, I can’t believe I get ‘goose bumps’ listening to this. WOW!!!

[BIgRon]

Doyle is absolutely amazing on guitar, and is a great guy as well. I've met him a time or two at CAAS in Nashville. He is a close friend of Wes Crider, who is also my buddy. Love to hear him play.

I have watched this like million times it's so great! Thank you Mr. Dykes!

[tmart]

I play this song almost the same way except not at the fast speed Doyle likes to roll too.. It's actually really to play this song with tuning like this. Another cool tune of his is called The Tennessee Stomp, it's the first song from him that I learned.

[chuckyt]

Hot’DAMN!! That was like Chet, Jerry Reed and Tommy Emanual all rolled into one! Super talented hombre! Bless his heart....
