As a dad, that shared smile at 2:05 is golden!

[@FoundryStreetJason]

I love that he taught his son how to play.....Great Dad!

[@lemaitrethemonk]

It is good to see two generations of a family, have a conversation without words...

[@SubHazardx]

thats precisely what this song is about hehe

[@SvdP-vi5kk]

This shows that the great are humble. Great playing still exists in this time

[@Studio_940]

Man I can see the joy in Dad's face here. I had the pleasure of being in a band with my youngest for a few years, it really doesn't get any better for sure. Great song as well.

[@Highcastle_of_Tone]

Fantastic! Love to see Caleb following in his father's footsteps.

[@kirbygene]

Love that moment at 2:07 when Caleb nods and smiles at his dad who smiles back

[@vincentkowski8466]

Amen.....the Dynamic Duo.

[@rogerdavis5447]

Must be mighty proud of your son...he's a fine player!

[@Yak9741]

What a beautiful father-son duet.

[@noisepuppet]

I have no idea why I ever do anything but listen to stuff like this and attempt to play it.

[@judgejudginson6095]

Must have watched this a zillion times and it blows me away every single moment. Doyle’s solo is stupid. What a master.

[@robertecarpenter]

Good for the soul to watch these two with melody harmony rhythm and love flowing. Yeah ... loved this. Rob

[@robertecarpenter]

here again a year later ... still warms my soul.

[@chirilas5217]

What a great duo they make. Congratulations to Dad and Caleb

[@Jack-OLantern]

So fantastic to see father/son play together!!!

[@bigjimixox]

I really like the way his son plays, he has a hell of a lot of talent too.

[@shaunmason3243]

Doyle is a thumb picker and Caleb is a hybrid flat picker. I think it's fascinating that Caleb developed a playing style all his own, obviously influenced by his dad, but differing quite a bit due to picking style. It's cool that Doyle didn't say "this is how you do it, son" he let Caleb develop his own way, with his own tone, not just a Doyle clone. Beautiful song.

[@livingroompickersclub6358]

A style all his own?No disrespect to Caleb-He sounded great but I hear a fairly generic style of flatpicking.

[@johncostopoulos7741]

How awesome to share such phenomenal talent with your equally talented son!! What a gift from the Lord!!

[@yellowdarkcreepergaming3608]

Lets go doyle and caleb wooo

[@syfman6]

Love Doyle's playing...💚🎸

[@carlosfigueroa790]

Cheers!! from Central America! Guatemala City.

[@robertlee8042]

Nice to see father and son play.

[@hochbob]

Two world-class players playing two world-class guitars. I have played a Guild D-44 for almost 50 years.

[@martingeorgeofficial]

Pure gold.......for any guitarist, its just so good.

[@metaloutlander]

Doyle is the man! His son has chops too.

[@stringbender57]

I REALLY enjoyed this! Caleb is becoming quite the guitarist. I am sure Doyle is very proud. Those two Guilds sound very sweet!

[@robertrockwell7581]

nice work Caleb. glad you have your Dad's love for Guitar and talent. out of the six kids my Dad and Mom had I was the only one who Picked it up from my Dad. and we played together too.

[@jasperearwood6231]

Caleb is a great lead player, I really love this song

[@Josephferrari7]

great performance between a son and his father!

[@duaneholcomb8408]

Ok that's a great guitarist in the making most of us. Could not keep up with that and this kid is still young. Wow what he will become. Might surprise us all,,

[@mrude6886]

Ah wow! It's great to see such Talent and heritage live on! Keep on pickin'!

[@billymcmonagle949]

Twenty fingers of gold just there, a piece of magic

[@FrancescoAlcozer]

Eccellente chitarrista acustico della GUILD GUITARS.

[@utahprepper8925]

Absolutely fantastic! What a duo! I know I'm late to this party but better late than never!

[@ScrewballMcAdams]

Damn! Caleb is a monster just like his dad. Terrific performance by both. Bravo!

[@tennishatfield5600]

Wonderful and beautiful sounds of pickin and grinnin.

[@davidwhitten7224]

i love at 2:00 when they hit that harmonized rift, he looks like he just won the frickin lottery or somethin lol. really great to see such passion after how long he's been at it. inspiration stuff haha

[@fonkamex]

That the proud looking every father should have at least once in a lifetime. Guys even if your son is not a guitar prodigy giving them a chance and appreciating their effort is the best thing in life.

[@robhead22]

Awesome!!!!!

[@joaodanieldemello2137]

Caleb is a very good player. Keep up with Doyle is very challenging. The solos were both amazing

[@BadTitan1330]

2020? still love this!!

[@HowardH2008]

My dad was a bit of a jerk (hope that doesn't sound too disrespectful...yet I think it needs to be said to make the point)....Doyle seems like he'd be a cool dad...good for Caleb...families making music together...Does it get any better?

[@cjmani1]

Awesome playing! Didn't I hear a Sweet Home Alabama quote in there? Very cleverly done.

[@kenpoist7]
