2023 might have been a pivotal year for you but it’s easy to tell you have put a ton of time and energy into building your skills and playing your own style. You definitely deserve the recognition plus way more!!
The Allman's completely changed what music is for me. The "Dreams" box set was all it took. Looking forward to seeing you grow. Love your playing and approach. 👍🎸
Luck comes to those who are prepared, as they say. You've clearly put in incredible work over the years, and we're lucky that we now get to hear your music.
I have been a fan of slide guitar going back to the 70's/80's; Duane Allman, Foghat/Rod Price, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Winter, Thorogood and today's players Sonny Landreth, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, (to many to list now and then) and Dylan Adams!! 💙🎸 As much as I like finding artists on media platforms, I am old school and want a physical copy to play. Please, Please tell us you are planning to put out your own albums, that would be tremendous! All the best in 2024!
I was introduced to yr. talent by Rhett as I have followed him for yrs. & am very pleased by the reaction of the online guitar community. Hard work has paid off for you. I love yr. technique w/the slide as you have a unique style that just rips!
And you changed MY life! You inspired me to try and learn how to play slide finally, after 50 years of loving the sound, but never getting to grips with the how. Your fantastic common sense, pragmatic guide to playing slide in standard tuning lit a fire under my ass, and now after months of following your advice, I feel like I can actually do it. I mean, I’m no Duane Allman, and likely never will be, but now I’ve got a fab new tool in the kit. More power to you Dylan. You’re not only a fabulous musician, you’re a hell of a teacher too. All best for 2024 and beyond.
this is pure inspiration! I've seen many individuals grow in this field but your story is truly inspirational and I'm glad you're sharing it. Keep on going!
My personal opinion of your playing is that it is so unique. With the slide on the pinky and being able to chord behind it is a great sound. It's great to hear them mingled together and I'm not sure I've heard much of it before. Put that together with your gift for melody making and it's just a great sound. I can't wait to see where all this leads you. Hopefully a big stage somewhere with lots of fans. Think of every way to monetize this in the meantime so you can stay afloat to focus on guitar. This is your time to become a master musician. Great job buddy and I look forward to all your future videos. Let us know when you do videos on other people's channels.
Dude you worked your ass off and you have a talent and sound that is world class...you should be selling out mid size Arenas and selling lots of Music online. You earned it.
Your playing, your tone, and your musicianship are great. And you seem like a nice guy. Although your videos are great, I hope I get to see you playing live someday.
Dylan - It’s all well deserved! You’ve got a unique style of playing that sets you apart from other players. Everything you’ve been doing, including the luthier training will only make you a better player. Always happy to see another Floridian do well. Keep it up!!
I came up to jax beach with my best friend and we saw you last year. The next day we ran into you at guitar center. Best of luck to you and your music career you are a hell of a guitarist!
There's a video of Derek Trucks playing while John Mayer and BB King look on in amazement. Someday a legendary guitarist is going to be on stage with you, watching you play and looking astonished. You're the real deal and I hope you continue to succeed
Dylan - you are such an awesome player. On that video you mention (that blew Rhett away) - I thought I was listening to Duane! Much appreciate all you do, and love listening to you play that wicked slide! Best wishes for the future!
double commenting for the first time ever : ) It may feel weird, but showing gratitude for the people and situations that have helped you is always a great idea.
Rhett definitely helped bring you to the heights you've reached this year. That's how I found you. And Rhett is a pretty serious slide guitarist and he could have easily not put you on his channel to overshadow him. But the humble Rhett put you up there anyway. That's the sign of a good dude. But in all honesty, your skill alone could have gotten you to this point naturally on its own without Rhett's help. Just would have taken a little bit longer. Your style and tone is so unique and instantly recognizable. You deserve to be playing in front of thousands. Much love, from Bermuda.
For someone who has put in the effort al those years to learn to play the guitar the way you do , its well deserved to be in the "spotlights " , so good on you .
The first thing I thought after watching Rhetts' video on you was "man, that guy can play" but as I've continued watching I've also noticed you were prepared to get the spotlight. You've improved your content both in volume and in quality. I'm excited to see more from you and I wish I could support more! Picked up slide because of your videos and I'm loving the new experience relearning a familiar old thing.
Loving you playing a lot. Andy Wood just shouted you out on his live stream yesterday, I had to subscribe. So cool man, I look forward to any music you play now.
You have an amazing talent and I do believe you will eventually be mentioned along with the other great slide players. Wishing you much success. Stick with it and I hope the right people will come forward to push you to the next level. Looking forward to what you do this year.
This is such a great story! I remember seeing the Rhett Shull video and knowing that you were about to get some greatly earned recognition at a large scale! 👏👏👏
Congrats on the success. I am from Jacksonville, but have lived in Atlanta for awhile. I am going to pick up slide guitar after watching your videos. I'm going to get that Gretsch resonator you had in a recent video as soon as I can get to the store.
A reaction from The Netherlands, Dylan. Having followed you from that first video onwards, it's very nice to see you succeed and flourish. A good New Year to you too!
One of the most honest and heart warming speeches I've ever seen on social media Dylan. I wish you all the very best for the new year and I'm sure your career will blossom into full bloom quicker than you can slide from one end of the fretboard to the other. All the very best.
Dylan, I’ve been following you since that video Rhett posted and just had to shoutout and give you props , you’re a great player and a fantastic dude! Congrats and stay humble brother !! 👏😎🫡
Hi Dylan - Interestingly, my first encounter with your videos was not through Rhett Schull's videos but through a RUclips search on playing slide guitar in standard tuning, with slide on pinkie, and fretting behind the slide! I had decided during 2022 to work on and improve my slide playing, and your methods fitted perfectly with what I was after. I have found your videos and playing inspirational, and I would like to thank you for providing the perfect platform for me to improve my own skills in slide guitar playing, which it has done immensely.
If I can say anything about you, Dylan, I absolutely love how your humble energy and insane skill meet each other to create an authentic experience that displays your true love for your craft. Like you, I have been a fan of Rhett for a few years (it's a bucket list item to meet him one day). I am not a playermyself, but my love for music has led me to my beginnings of being a promoter... building the shows I love and meeting the musicians I admire. You, are easily, a new addition to that list. Love what you do, love who you are... and hope that I will get to experience your music in person one day. Much love to you, to Rhett, and all the other musicians that enrich our lives every day!
So cool to see someone from Jax breaking out like this. I went to school there for a few years and have a lot of love for the art and music scene there. You have a gift, just keep riding the wave and see where it takes you.
All so deserved man. Rhett’s best video ever imo..😜at least most important to a lot of us.. and for what it’s worth, you’re great at this RUclips/social media thang. Well spoken, informative, effective and to the point. And the gratitude is palpable. Keep it up, keep slidin’, please!🙏🏽👊🏽
I’ve been a follower of yours since I saw you via Rhett. I look forward to watching your star rise - good luck. A prediction and bit of advice; I can’t wait until I see you play with Derek Trucks. As your new, uncharted career takes off, don’t forget to take care of yourself along the way. Enjoy life, establish some balance with those close to you, and don’t burnout.
Very glad to be tuned into your journey. You are an amazing player, and very talented. I’ve been inspired by your playing. I’ve started to play without a pick, and pick up the slide more...though, no real break throughs yet. Maybe someday I’ll get the guts and scratch together to reach out for a lesson? Your “Great Gig” performance on Rhett’s channel was crazy good. Not for nothing there’s a seed of a band in there? Glad you are letting your voice be heard! PL&U
Your playing is stellar and I didn't perceive any of this as bragging. You've earned it and I appreciate hearing about your journey. I only have one suggestion and that is to find your own path. Don't worry about being like anyone else, don't try to replicate known formulas. Think about what's in the market and what YOU want to do. Just like with your playing and style, you will find what that is for YOU and stand out. Good luck!
Not a bit do I see blowing your own whistle!!! Kudos to you ole buddy. It’s been great following you. Good to see a S Georgia boy making it ( anything between Tallahassee and Jacksonville northward might as well be S Georgia as it has nothing to do with the rest of Flarda).😂😂😂😂
Well sir, you are the musician people stopped to listen too. Rhett gave you a big hand up on the national and world stage. It's up to you, as it always has been, to become who you were born to be. Stay strong and focused. Determination tops talent 99% of the time because only 1% are so gifted that everything comes easily. You will find work. Collaborations, guest spots. If you can work out a studio gig that'd be awesome. Everyone's best, sir.
Your success is well deserved. You have a gift on the instrument, and despite whatever insecurities you may have had about being a content creator, I think your presentation style is just right. You seem completely at ease. Keep at it my man, and I look forward to the new stuff!
Big fan bro. You have it all and should keep going. I hope for more live sit ins in 2024. As well as Collabs with other RUclipsrs. Finally original music.
Internet guitar community’s “Rookie of the Year” for 2023! I do wish you and that gorgeous red Les Paul had been able to make it work out, though. You two were a great-looking couple and had “iconic pairing” written all over you. But I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. 😜

Your playing on the great gig in the sky with Rhett was mind blowing. Congrats on your success!
Thanks so much man, getting to go up there and record with him was a big full circle moment for me!

Very much agree! Definitely top shelf music!
Agree, absolutely amazing - what a gift you have. Keep it up.
Such an incredible player I really appreciate Rhett turning me onto you ! Happy New Year and I wish you much success !! Come to Philly !!
2023 might have been a pivotal year for you but it’s easy to tell you have put a ton of time and energy into building your skills and playing your own style. You definitely deserve the recognition plus way more!!
Rhett’s video about you on here made me an instant fan. Hope you gig at some point over here in the U.K. ✌🏼
well The Allman Brothers changed my life brother, great playing, you deserve the good things
Rhett and you are both incredibly humble dudes, it makes people really, really want to see you succeed!!!
Amen
The Allman's completely changed what music is for me. The "Dreams" box set was all it took. Looking forward to seeing you grow. Love your playing and approach. 👍🎸
It’s so refreshing to see a down to earth humble guy with amazing talent on his way to greater things. Hope to see you in person one day!
Luck comes to those who are prepared, as they say. You've clearly put in incredible work over the years, and we're lucky that we now get to hear your music.
I'm grateful to Rhett for exposing me to your music. I wish you all the best in your career. You have a lot to share.
Your slide technique is exceptional
Your humility, self awareness, and talent will stand you in good stead throughout your life…
It was nice to meet you in Publix that day
You deserve any recognition you get, absolutely crazy talented. Thanks for sharing it with all us guitar lovers.
Congratulations. You deserve every success. I hope you have a great year, and I'm looking forward to your original music.
I have been a fan of slide guitar going back to the 70's/80's; Duane Allman, Foghat/Rod Price, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Winter, Thorogood and today's players Sonny Landreth, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, (to many to list now and then) and Dylan Adams!! 💙🎸 As much as I like finding artists on media platforms, I am old school and want a physical copy to play. Please, Please tell us you are planning to put out your own albums, that would be tremendous! All the best in 2024!
Rhett put me on to you, sure glad he did, love your posts, and really love your playing. Phenomenal!
I was introduced to yr. talent by Rhett as I have followed him for yrs. & am very pleased by the reaction of the online guitar community. Hard work has paid off for you. I love yr. technique w/the slide as you have a unique style that just rips!

Congratulations man! RUclips is full of know-it-alls. I like your humble attitude. Keep rocking!
this is pure inspiration! I've seen many individuals grow in this field but your story is truly inspirational and I'm glad you're sharing it. Keep on going!
Rhett did you a huge favor, but I stuck around because of how great you are. You also love vintage gear, so yeah, what’s not to like.
Awesome. So happy for you and well-deserved. Stay humble & badass and big things will keep coming your way!
My personal opinion of your playing is that it is so unique. With the slide on the pinky and being able to chord behind it is a great sound.

Well deserved. As a longtime Smokestack fan, we already knew how awesome your talent is.
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing player! Looking forward to seeing how you grow going forwards. Hoping to see you play in the UK one day soon.
Well done! Good luck for the future and greetings from Italy!
This is one of the coolest stories ever to come out of the RUclips guitar world. I’ll probably sign up for a lesson or two soon.
You have so much talent and potential, don’t forget to enjoy life. Keep playing! We love it!
You sound like a really good person with a really good career ahead of you. Good luck in all you do...and thank God for music!
Your playing, your tone, and your musicianship are great. And you seem like a nice guy. Although your videos are great, I hope I get to see you playing live someday.
Dylan - It’s all well deserved! You’ve got a unique style of playing that sets you apart from other players. Everything you’ve been doing, including the luthier training will only make you a better player. Always happy to see another Floridian do well. Keep it up!!
You’re living the dream and deserve it. Keep working my man. We’re proud and happy for you 🤝
BIG Congrats Dylan! 🙌🏼
YOU are a Legend my friend, one of the greats….much more on the way for you! Cheering you on man 💯
Discovering your music on RUclips was one of the highlights of 2023 for me dude.
Dylan, this is only the beginning. Great things await you. Stay grounded, follow your heart, and stay in the pocket!
I came up to jax beach with my best friend and we saw you last year. The next day we ran into you at guitar center. Best of luck to you and your music career you are a hell of a guitarist!
You just need to let your music speak for itself! As a guitarist, I really enjoy your teaching videos.
lol at the “award show speech” comment
Dude it should be an award show! you’re doing it! Congrats dude, wish Duane could see it
There's a video of Derek Trucks playing while John Mayer and BB King look on in amazement. Someday a legendary guitarist is going to be on stage with you, watching you play and looking astonished. You're the real deal and I hope you continue to succeed

It may feel weird, but showing gratitude for the people and situations that have helped you is always a great idea.
Love your playing man, I've been playing slide for 5 years but we need more guys like you, leading the way
Outstanding. Outstanding. Absolutely Outstanding!

From a fan in Jax Beach, you are an amazing musician and great guy. Smokestack rocks too!
That’s where I saw you! On Rhett’s channel. Immediately went to Instagram and caught up!
