Doyle is a master.... no doubt. I always hoped to be half as good as he is but am still not even close to that goal. Years ago, I got to meet him up close and personal. He made an appearance at one of our local music stores that I liked to frequent. I met him as he pulled into the parking lot. Helped him carry his gear into the stage area. We chatted a little while setting up. I was plinking on his guitar a bit. He looked at me and said, "you break it, you bought it". He had a big smile when he said it though. Very nice man.
I am a subscriber to his channel on RU-vid. I also play guitar 🎸 but he is a master. Probably the best finger style guitarist in the world. RU-vid Doyle Dykes chet stuff.
Not being able to play more than two notes on a guitar I have nothing but down right respect for these masters of the strings! There are so many great players but perhaps 10 who take their art form to another planet...Doyle, Martino, Tommy, Chet, Jerry Reed, Carlton, Les, Hendrix, Clapton and Rory. Of course 10 isn't enough but the ones I chose changed the music industry forever, each in their own right. As a music lover I, we, have been blessed to have had these individuals breathing the same air as us!!!
I’m sorry but I need the very ending of this vid to be there. I’m soooo curious how he ended the piece. If at all possible. This performance is just incredible. ✊🏼
Doyle has much too much focus on speed, not enough focus on quality and musical purity. That is the big difference between Chet and Doyle. Chet always emphasized quality first. Chet could go super fast but he never had to.
