[@Opry99er]

Probably my favorite living guitarist right now.

[@bza069]

[@chirilas5217]

Definitely Doyle is one of the best finger style players ever. The way he masters the guitar is incredible. Admirable. 👏👍👏👏

[@johnduckworth474]

He makes it look effortless. Brilliant.

[@alanwann9318]

Baby's coming home and freight train marvelous ! Thanks a lot Doyle.

[@nevadasmith4964]

Doyle makes it look so easy that's bc he is the greatest

"You don't need this...I need this."

[@fonkamex]

I laughed at that too. Only a real musician can understand that statement

[@irvinslagter8298]

Doyle could put strings on a cardboard box and get great music out of it. Just look at any of his videos and he can make any guitar sound good. If there's and fault in it, it's in the guitar and not his playing. Marvelous!

[@samgifford2639]

Glorious! Thanks.

Good Grief, Charlie Brown!!!!

Nailed it!!!!!!

[@honitonhillbillysixpicker6445]

what an anointing

[@finleytron]

You don't have to play a Gretsch to sound great but it sure doesn't hurt. Gretsch is like a Porsche..if you don't own one you just won't understand. There is no substitute. I was blessed to acquire my first Country Gent in 1965 a used 1960 single cut. Still have her and still am not worthy.

[@johnnyrock6576]

That was before Gretsch re-designed the 6122 with a double cutaway body. Looks like a large 6119 Tennessean!

[@Dragon-od5fl]

大好きですbeautiful‼️❤️❤️❤️

[@xeverettx2564]

Funny thing is that every time I’ve seen Doyle in the past few years he mostly plays his White Falcon so he really doesn’t need that but then again can you ever have too many Gretsch’ the answer is dno, no you can not have too many Gretsch’!!!!

[@danjacksonguitar3701]

Baby's Coming Home!

[@PortoAntico]

Doyle always shows the truth from a guitar with Gretsch 59CG , he says at the very end of this video :YOU DON'T NEED THIS - I NEED THIS ! look how he is caring of this one , he really loves it.

[@williamfry7085]

You’re good Doyle.

[@stanleykomonce8302]

i need it bud

[@pjstrassner3769]

How is this guy not a CGP

[@dennisgearside9887]

DID HE GET IT...AND IF SO CAN I GET IT OFF OF HIM SOMEHOW, I LOVE THAT GUITAR AND I LOVE HIM , HE DONT KNOW THAT 🤣I WAS THE ONE WHO NEEDED IT .... IM THE NEEDER OF IT... THIS IS A REAL REQUEST😀

[@michaelhenwood4046]

Huh/ What was that at around 42 seconds.Hmm,I like it.

[@derekdiamond1977]

Fantastic player, seen him here in the UK a couple of times, does he ever play a solid guitar? A tele or a les Paul maybe? Just wondering what it would sound like! He's great anyway !

[@amandabrieno3487]

Hi Where can I watch your live teaching and also I have a a question about changing guitar strings

[@stanleykomonce8302]

i love it .....can u sell it to me.....for real✌✌

[@jwp2460]

This is fantastic. I got to see Doyle play a few times at clinics he did for Taylor Guitars. I would have loved to see him play on a Gretsch like this. Does anyone know the name of the first song he plays in this video? Is it a Chet tune or one of Doyle's songs? I loved it.

[@michaelhenwood4046]

Baby's coming home,one of Jerry's songs,I believe.

[@stanleykomonce8302]

he surly skinned that smoke wagon😛😛

[@USNVA-yn6cp]

damn gretsch sounds like a Tele

[@heavymetalskydive]

What's the second song he plays?

[@vanass02]

What is it he plays at 1:17 ?

[@emet79]

Can't get the tune in my head @ 02:38. Forgot the title. Anyone help me..?

[@BIgRon2176]

+emet79 Freight Train

[@Trombonology]

"Freight Train."

[@johanseichepine5412]

At 1'15 what's this song please ?

[@searchdivision]

Anyone know the names of the tunes he plays in this vid?

[@oaktree1628]

@Search Division Music: I think the last one he played is called Freight Train

[@michaelhenwood4046]

"Baby's coming home,I've got a woman,Freight train,There'll be some changes made(not sure about the last one,anyone else?)

[@user-wq6bj6xp6x]

I guess the last one is "Limehouse Blues".

[@CBGypsy03]

Not a big fan of the look of that guitar but that doesn't matter. Doyle is fuckin boss and fantastic.

[@Guitar11player]

Whats wrong with the treble strings Doyle? Are they too close to the neck? They are ringing terribly and hurt your ears.

[@tonybrantley]

What kind of freaking Morons thumb this Down?! I'd like to see you do better!

[@kevdean9967]

I don't understand why people worry about thumbs up or thumbs down. If you dig it isn't that all that matters? Only morons think apples are better than oranges!!!

[@knopflerfan8129]

He's incredible player but he deserves a better guitar. The first e string sounds terrible almost like a sitar

[@gary52ish]

Maurizio De Caro it ‘is’ very distracting. Wonder if it’s an excessively worn “zero-fret.” (Dykes is a beast either way.)

[@michaelhenwood4046]

Might be the equipment buzzing,too.

[@Guitar11player]

Please no single notes Doyle. They dont sound right and in time.

[@vinnothelizard]

I THINK THE SIXTH STRING TAKES OVER AND DOES NOT SOUND GOOD !! IT TWANGS !! DONT LIKE IT AT ALL !!SORRY

[@robb3652]

THE DUKE. Great assessment.

[@michaelhenwood4046]

@Kaptain Kid The old girl may be used to slightly heavier strings.
