Barry the Sailor is my dad! Doyle just touched on the miracle of how they reunited. It’s even more powerful when you hear it from both perspectives.

[@petrastellar3300]

@bclackey75 your dad did an incredible thing unknowingly !! can you share more about the reunion story pls ??

[@blues61]

Awesome! I'm an experience fingerstyle player but I can't say that I've played those exact patterns. Transcribing them now and off to the woodshed! Thank you Don, Doyle and Sweetwater.

[@13michiel]

I met Doyal Dykes the first time around 20 years ago at the Mad About Music Show in Birmingham England. He was a lovely person & I was blown away as he physically is a man mountain (I'm a small skinny guy!) & he played AMAZING!! He also jammed with bassist T.M.Stevens!!!

[@t-bone3657]

Recently saw him here in St Petersburg FLA at the music shop I use. Great performance and a true gentleman.

[@corystansbury]

Doyle is an incredible human

That really amazing guys..

Amazing

[@robertweldon7909]

One of the things about true masters of an instrument, they don't brag about how good they are they just do it. Then because they are what they are they will answer your questions and show you stuff. I wonder if that sailor knows what he created. Many thanks to him too. Hey Doyle, maybe with this video, you can find sailor X and do a little pickin together for us all. ;-)

[@kylegushue]

Made me smile

[@uglyawesome]

Doyle always has a great tone

[@TheDjangojunkie]

[@tjstevens001]

[@lar57jsy]

[@danemount6113]

Thank You, Doyle. If you come out to the SF Bay Area, Let me know please. I'm just in awe of your playing skills and your integrity! Sincerely, Dan in San Francisco.

Im from indonesia, and i have subscribed your channel guys..

[@paulyflyer8154]

After watching this I've decided to set fire to all my guitars.

[@richiezombie531]

The way Doyle looks up to Barry the sailor, is the same way I look up to Doyle.

[@taperecorder3]

It's gonna take me some time to get down this 1 finger picking pattern, I saw him at a music store for only $10 about 10 years ago, best $10 I ever spent, I consider Doyle dykes the most molodic sweet sounding creative guitarist, I would have never figured this out in a million years, but I did figure out my own style using 6 in a pattern, this is the 1 pattern I have Ben looking for thank you google youtube

[@Artikulo71]

[@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806]

Newbie here... Can anybody tell me what is the chord progression for the 5th string pattern, then the chords he's using for the 6th string pattern...? I'm not even advanced enough to recognize all the shapes... lol. I think I understand that differnt chords go with the different patterns... and that has something to do with the chord having it's "tonic" on the 6th string vs. 5th string... Does that basically just mean use the 6th string patter for chords that actually USE the 6th string, and the 5th string pattern for chords that USE the 5th string (i.e., at all)?

[@ramjayanthravichandran]

What kind of Taylor does Don carr have?

[@duaneholcomb8408]

I play finger style. Was influenced by doc Watson. Latter I went to a 3 finger style. Coarse I'm not as goodcas Doyle. Or even doc. But I do alright. And have fun with it,,

[@dieselman7453]

Wat chords was he using with that pattern it’s so fast I can’t make it out 😂😂🎸🎸
