This style of music and format of presentation, is probably the most generally entertaining type of guitar playing there is. Especially when executed at this level.
Some years ago my dad and I went to a guitar show in Birmingham England at the NEC ( National Exhibition Centre) . We walked into this room and this great guitarist was playing country, I think he was promoting Taylor Guitars. My dad and I just looked at each other and said Wow who is this guy ??? Neither of us had heard of Doyle Dykes at that time but we made sure we knew a lot more about him from that day, our socks were properly blown off !! We wondered why we hadn't known of him before then, but I suppose living in the uk doesn't help.
I had a similar experience in West Virginia. He was playing for Taylor and I managed to see him twice. Its incredible to be so close to that kind of performance. He's the nicest guy.
He’s not a household name in the States either. It’s a shame because he’s every bit as talented as Tommy Emmanuel and all the other CGPs (Certified Guitar Players)
I used a tele for.yrs. and a gibson 330 for a long time but I started on a 67 nashville and during my career I used a 62 tennessean and now that I'm old I play a newer tennessean special I like very much I'm a gretsch man lol
If this one was just hanging on the wall, it won't be set up like the guitars he performs with. That alone would slow it down a bit, but Doyle would sound good playing a Swiffer. Great job Doyle. Big Ron
That man has potential with a bit of tuition....haha..Seriously though, why is this man not up there with Richard Smith and Tommy Emanuel? He's brilliant.
This guitar doesn't respond as fast like his guild on those fast liks. The Gretsch do is a great guitar, a true classic hall of famer among the electric guitars
These "guitar greats, are great"...but if you watch their "facial expressions"...well.. I've always wondered why,... they seemed so much in pain ??.. I have played guitar all my life, & have never experienced that much pain...maybe I should try it...as it may improve my...??? sound ??? Just wondering...??? ...LOL

dude has an impeccable sense of rhythm.
Can’t get any better than this guy!
Always fun to watch. Brought a smile to me today.
The man sure knows his way around a guitar, noth’n to it.😳😮👍👍🇨🇦
That is a stunningly beautiful Gretsch guitar and great sounding too! Doyle is an amazing guitar player. I see why he wanted to take it home with him.

This guy is a pro & at the top of his craft. You cant compare him to average
pickers. I dont think I will ever be in this league, but its fun trying!
Wow Mr. Dykes, unique. You are the one.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a frekn great player
he has amazing runs!
literally though! haha
Doyle is as amazing as his piers,
Amazing, just amazing.
The tag gives the guitar a minnie pearl vibe to me.. :)
BuchlaBum .🤣
I remember the first time hearing Doyle. What a talent
Wonderful pickling
Gretsch guitars have great necks/fretboards.
He is always fun to watch

Big Ron
Yes Doyle!
You the man. 👌
Just a great guitar player there is no doubt about that!
Those chords are so especial. Same as Django’s chords they have their own life
Great touch
Avalon knocked me out!
You are blessed with the real shit Doyle. Sounds great as usual.
Both nice, I’m happy with my P90s.
I learned to play like Chet by playing along with his records.
They all got it from Merle Travis..and a little bit of Les Paul in the mix.
and Django
And MOSE RAGER!!!
Everything goes back to the first guitar player ever
Mantap👍
Nice Falcon!
That man has potential with a bit of tuition....haha..Seriously though, why is this man not up there with Richard Smith and Tommy Emanuel? He's brilliant.
Actually Doyle is right up there with Tommy and Richard. You can find 2 or all 3 of them together in several youtube videos
Three grand? Not unless it comes with personal lessons with Doyle.
Good pickin'!
Burning up that fret board!
played 2 songs at once at 00:19
😀👍👏
suprise!!!!
Gretsch G6136TBK? mmmhmmmmm

I'm guessing its because of 2 reasons. A) They "feel" the music, so its not really pain, and B) The shit they play can be difficult.
Never touched Chet.
no one will.....
Chet was on a level all his own. ❤️
Does this guy ever play a song all the way thru. They all sound the same.
