Doyle I just wanted to let you know what a blessing you are to so many. Your stand for Jesus Christ is an inspiration to so many. God continue to bless you in all you do
Dylan Brock Amen brother! I’ve heard and talked to this man face to face and can say that he emanates love from the Holy Spirit everywhere he goes and when he plays. Wonderful musician and man. 😊🙏🏼
If I didn't know better I'd say What a coincidence! This very day I was thinking of Luke's version (all four Gospels have his triumphant entry into Jerusalem) in the 19th chapter. Your comment, "President of the Internet" is so a propos. There is no better rendition on finger-style guitar than this one by Doyle Dykes. Yes, that passage you allude to so appropriately here: When he came near Jerusalem, at the place where the road went down the Mount of Olives, the large crowd of his disciples began to thank God and praise him in loud voices for all the great things that they had seen: “God bless the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory to God!” Then some of the Pharisees in the crowd spoke to Jesus. “Teacher,” they said, “command your disciples to be quiet!” Jesus answered, “I tell you that if they keep quiet, the stones themselves will start shouting.”
Hey Brother! "what an intimate FRIEND we have in Jesus"... "I no longer call you slaves but Friends". If we love Him, we will keep His Commandment! And if we love Him, they are NOT burdensome! Beautifully played and arranged! YBIC, JP
Performing live in a public setting Doyle chooses his moments to share his faith, in such a disarming way. I can't help but wonder how many people have been drawn to Jesus through his 'artless' gentle anecdotes, sometimes, consisting simply in praising a song like Dvorak's GOIN' HOME as "divinely inspired." His mainly secular audience (at least here in Canada) has had a seed planted in their consciousness that may produce a 'harvest' years, or even decades on. Thanks for your comment, Jim Poston. (See my comment above please concerning GOIN' HOME. ruclips.net/video/_OoJWWq6y5A/видео.html
Thanks Doyle as usual beautiful and perfect playing for his glory and precious salvation for everyone who ask. I've seen you play this live at many of your performances , and anyone who has the chance to see you live will be in for a real treat.
Beautiful!!! As a side note… I have always done tremolo using the traditional classical method P.A.M.I. but have now started playing it the way you do and it makes so much more sense and makes it so much smoother! I now consider it to be like a forward banjo roll plus my ring finger and it makes it a million times smoother! Thank you so much for the great idea!🙂
My dad Jerry Simmons and Randy Craig record an instrumental gospel album in the late 70's or early 80's. I discovered last week you played on the album and might have produced it.
Doyle, an absolutely beautiful arrangement & inspiring rendition of one of my favorites! Thanks for posting. Where can I find your new Signature Godin in North Texas? My wife & I call you & your family by name aloud in prayer each evening during our daily devotions time. May God, our Heavenly Father grant you favor & richly bless you, your family & your friends.
May I second that emotion -- heartfelt prayer that, "May God, our Heavenly Father grant [Doyle & family] favor & richly bless you, your family & your friends. "
Martin Taylor, Tommy Emmanuel and, most recently Brazilian-American Walter Rodriguez have delivered the best finger-style renditions of this beloved hymn. But as usual their great peer Doyle Dykes gives us the most fully developed (3:25) version I could ever hope to hear. Three months after this video was recorded Doyle Dykes graced our city for a few hours. I live in the world's coldest major city, Winnipeg Manitoba Canada and Doyle Dykes performed for an audience that included about 40 guitarists. He was scheduled to play for 90 minutes but ended up playing for three hours. He must have made a mistake, but I didn't hear it. That's the truth. Think about that -- a virtuoso of such magnitude that he could play that long without any evident mistakes. This was at the Quest Music store in Winnipeg that sells Godin guitars including Doyle's signature model. With me were my guitarist son Ben (who when he saw Doyle at a Toronto music store a decade ago told me: "Doyle Dykes is the greatest guitarist I've ever seen." With Ben was his six year old son, my grandson Luke who looked terrified at the volume level. His Dad swept him up in his arms and took him to the back of the store to protect his ears a little. Before the show Doyle sat down next to Luke after I told Doyle "He knows who you are!" "Who am I?" said Doyle. But little Luke was paralyzed with fear so Doyle disarmingly high-fived his little hand. There were some magic moments that others might have missed, Doyle playing a few bars of the jazz standard HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY -- gorgeous chords and Doyle remarked that he "loved jazz guitar." I knew the names of every song he played including one he didn't introduce, except by way of saying he had just returned from Prague in the Czech Republic. When he finished the song, I called out, "And that was WRITTEN by a Czech -- Antonin Dvorak!" Yes, said Doyle "and today you don't hear it much except at . . . " and I finished his sentence, "At funerals." "Have you recorded that?" I asked. "Not yet, but I told my wife that I would do it for my next album." "I'm buying that album!" I shouted. Doyle's is the only version I'd heard by guitar giants since Winnipeg's Lenny Breau recorded it with our mutual hero Chet Atkins for their STANDARD BRANDS album. Anyway, all this by way of saying that at the 41:00 minute mark of this Facebook hour-long feature Doyle took my breath away with a much more fully developed, heavenly version of GOIN' HOME. I just played it for my wife who said, "I'm pretty sure they played that for President Bush in Washington today." God bless Doyle Dykes. -- Mark B of the frozen North.

I really hope you appreciate what you are hearing...because you may NEVER hear it again. Not this way. Doyle has a heart for Jesus, and it comes through in his playing.

This is my favorite of all your videos, I can see grandma and grandpa. God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
What a blessing you are to the body of Christ, brother.
Doyle I just wanted to let you know what a blessing you are to so many. Your stand for Jesus Christ is an inspiration to so many. God continue to bless you in all you do
Beautiful rendition, my brother in Christ.
I can feel the Holy Spirit every time you play
Dylan Brock Amen brother! I’ve heard and talked to this man face to face and can say that he emanates love from the Holy Spirit everywhere he goes and when he plays. Wonderful musician and man. 😊🙏🏼
I can’t help but smile in the biggest way possible when I listen to this! Sincerely, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! God bless you Doyle!
I'm so glad somebody is playing this so well, because if they didn't the stones would cry out

Brings me to tears.
What a friend you have in Jesus Doyle, that is so evident by the gift he gave you to share with us! Thank you so much!
PTL - Jesus, indeed, is Lord.
beautiful, and I love Roy Rodgers looking over your shoulder
Wow... I have nothing more to say... Love from South Africa 🙏🙌🇿🇦
Great job on song takes me back to when my mother would rock and sing this to me thanks for memory!

You make me cry with joy
I kind of had that kind of arrangement, but Doyle as usual goes way farther than I even thought of going, and a whole lot better.
Beautiful
👍👍
Those notes aunt on any of my guitar fretboards.ive looked, many times.
Nice rendition.
Super
Doyle, do you know of any transcriptions of this beautiful and amazing arrangement? I would love to get my hands on one!
love to know his open tuning
Doyle
