Doyle Dykes "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Doyle Dykes plays "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles/George Harrison on solo acoustic guitar. Search for other versions by Jake Shimabukuro, Tommy Emmanuel and Laurence Juber if you like this.

I know him. He's a good friend of my great grandpas. He plays at our church sometimes. Nice guy, really fun to listen to.

[@jpaang]

Thank God for youtube!!

[@golfdom1987]

Amazing how he takes a rock song, and plays it in flamenco, folk, southern rock/blues syles all in one version... Killer chops!

[@anterotimonen6442]

Praice the Lord….

[@lordjagged8625]

Doyle has been the best kept secret of the ac guitar world for many years. One of the greatest living pickers and he has always had great musicality..like Martin Simpson it's a joy to see him play so easily.

[@froter1]

He's so good

[@antoniogourdine3399]

Doyle is right here playing at my church in Jacksonville ...WOW

[@brucestewart5939]

Not being able to play more than two notes on a guitar I have nothing but down right respect for these masters of the strings! There are so many great players but perhaps 10 who take their art form to another planet...Doyle, Martino, Tommy, Chet, Jerry Reed, Carlton, Les, Hendrix, Clapton and Rory. Of course 10 isn't enough but the ones I chose changed the music industry forever, each in their own right. As a music lover I, we, have been blessed to have had these individuals breathing the same air as us!!!

[@jimmyjameson8705]

his playing is so articulate and melodic....total ear candy...Doyle you are incredible.

[@young0804]

Wow! He is good!

[@AzBboy]

[@samthehikingman9484]

I live in the UK and never heard this genius before....... Live on TV... with metal strings to.... Brilliant...

[@Carphunter1970]

He is amazing!

[@sabotagethefool]

That man is unreal!! I first saw him on the Musicians Channel on Sky, Absolotely fantastic!!

[@eddiecampbell1835]

One the 👌 class.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

I never heard of this dude..this is GREAT TALENT!

[@bikerchic62]

AWESOME

[@richarddavis1163]

The DDSM with the black working with the mother of pearl and abalone, and the ebony fretboard is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. The best guitar I have ever played as well.

[@SLIMEANDSNITCH]

Through the top of excellent and into unknown territory ....wow! Graham Daw, Yorkshire, UK

[@nornornor333333]

he is the best!

[@richiezombie531]

[@jose35197]

Que grande Doyle !!!! Hasta day triper y mas le hizo !!!! 1 millon de aplausos para el !!!!

[@abryg8655]

WoW. Chapeau !!! 🎸🎵🎵🎵

[@stevehawkins4145]

Doyle is a master.... no doubt. I always hoped to be half as good as he is but am still not even close to that goal. Years ago, I got to meet him up close and personal. He made an appearance at one of our local music stores that I liked to frequent. I met him as he pulled into the parking lot. Helped him carry his gear into the stage area. We chatted a little while setting up. I was plinking on his guitar a bit. He looked at me and said, "you break it, you bought it". He had a big smile when he said it though. Very nice man.

[@draganm7823]

So much talent, backed by dedication and sweat. Love it! Live it! Ride and play guitar! 🤟

[@MickGrocholl]

Ahhhhh! I want to play this so bad!

[@kevinsmiley7069]

10 years later I'm watching

[@zendisciple3737]

That is awesome!! Unbelievable playing!!

[@Letargian]

the beginning of this song is Perfect !

[@RobSchneeberger]

would give up so much to be able to play like that

[@RaúlCabezalí]

Wow, I wish I could play like that! Thanks, Jer1400!

[@diananeyensancheztintilay7536]

Increible 😍😍

[@Sekeletu]

@DavelovesRealMusic This man is one of the greatest guitar players in the world, actually on my list he's on top with Tommy Emmanuel and Steve Vai and John Petrucci. They all play different, but I can say - their arrangements are just blowing mind. Almost everyone can play fast and smooth, but to write such as arrangement you have to be just from another world.

[@Dutcharmytent]

AMAZIN

[@NCLUSA]

After watching this I'm going to make a coffee table out of my guitar ):

[@mowman7777]

I'm using mine for firewood.

[@precessionoftheequinoxes3224]

@@mowman7777 hahahahahahahahahaha!!

[@deanwilson5767]

Yeah no doubt what an awesome guitar player

[@brianthompson891]

I'm thinking on the same lines😂❤

[@georgehavenga3883]

Great guitar player...!!!

[@ukraininoak]

Nice !

[@harveyziegler5787]

best I ever heard

[@mgamga9476]

I am a subscriber to his channel on KZbin. I also play guitar 🎸 but he is a master. Probably the best finger style guitarist in the world. KZbin Doyle Dykes chet stuff.

[@adamewhite]

i love how the news presentors nod there head along to the music makes me laugh lol

[@noelmeehan]

Go Doyle!!!

[@azcharlie2009]

This guy is amazing! Is he still around?

[@donmac5918]

…kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaTPZqmmpL-pg8U….Doyle Dykes

[@MrMan_47]

Yes, he is still playing and touring. He has a KZbin channel. Check him out!

[@Pkw101]

nice video!

[@hauntboy]

Bit of 'Day Tripper' and 'Here Comes the Sun' in there too at the end.

[@brunopaulin4451]

Muito bom!

[@carlosa.bolivar8879]

I’m sorry but I need the very ending of this vid to be there. I’m soooo curious how he ended the piece. If at all possible. This performance is just incredible. ✊🏼

[@dogsstar]

Wow

[@glen3898]

2019... I still haven't learned all of this yet....

[@Batman001]

This is awsome, I'm going to kill learning this

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

If Doyle an Tommy Emmanuel ever played together there would be nothing left worth hearing afterwards.

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Lawrence Genereux - Your wish has been fulfilled: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIaviqKVi72hiq8 That’s Part 1 of 3, plus there’s a fourth part with Lizzie Watkins. Enjoy!! 😎

[@MOSKII58]

.Sarasota / Bradenton oh yeah the place to live..

[@Dfnoboy]

I love his face at 3:03, it's like "oh yeah, this is a fucking sweet melody"

[@MinorityMans]

Love this. But love Jakes's version on the ukulele even more.

[@afriend8888]

man thats crazy :O

[@clodz0rd]

Best

[@LazzariJ]

I met Doyle I did honest :-)

[@bearsbugs]

@alongbow We couldn't all get that good, better than we currently are yes, but plenty of us old folks have arthritic fingers that would make this level of play beyond any amount of practice. It would be a much better sounding world if we tried though.

[@Strat1993]

holy. shit.

[@MasterDub1]

Yes Phil Keaggy is very good. Check out the video for "Shades of Green". It's amazing what this guys does with his recorder, ON STAGE!

[@hensonandbedges]

his playing on this sounds alot like gitarre 2000. f**king great guitar player.

[@joshuasharp3608]

i met him in louisiana

[@phyfts]

2:02

[@SilverStrings25]

The guy is a guitar savant

[@NCLUSA]

Who else is watching this after 4 years (:

[@sabotagethefool]

I am STILL trying to play a version of this. I am 17 with no proper training. Doesn't sound TOO bad, but I can't figure out a LOT of it lol. DO you have tabs? I would like to see them.

[@ghostpoopster]

lol you guys need to check out paco de lucia if you want some intence finger picking

[@Pkw101]

i think the video has a tiny bit of lag! the videos a bit slower than the sound but just a bit. Still great though

[@alongbow]

We could all practice, practice, practice and be able to play this.....BUT how many of us could come up with an arrangement like it?????? Be honest people!!!!

[@dukestt]

2:02 to skip

[@presidentoxford]

Good ol' pumpkin pie classy wap

[@brentisapirate]

You know I wondered that myself...

[@thisisthegloaming]

so um, is it possible for anyone to play like that or should i just give up now.

[@Pkw101]

have you sent me the TAB?:

[@guitardave3028]

I think chet once said that this is only guitar player he would pay to see play. .

[@itsanthonyhere]

I am a Christian too but I'm pretty sure it's possible to become influenced by things on earth.

[@liquidribs]

i agree with you Garzog... guess he doesn't even know what he's doing at the timeline 2.55.

[@hunter1801]

....me

[@Pkw101]

he doesnt hav pick, its nails, (arcylic)

[@Pkw101]

Thumb pick and nails (acrylic), not fingerpicks

[@CanadianToast]

Did you know hes deaf in one ear? Amazing eh> thats why is amp is always on his right side.

[@tabeat]

Then practice, practice and PRACTICE... you'll be good!

[@joew268]

36 did not like this? Must be tone death

[@bosn5429]

There are parts that sound almost almost like slack-key style...

[@cosmicosmo6369]

"he's simply playing chords and single notes"...well no shit genius, it's not possible to play anything but notes and chords (several notes) on an instrument. And if you don't think it's fancy, you've obviously never tried to play fingerstyle, where you have to play melodies, chords and basslines all at the same time.

[@PNgaia33859]

Tommy showed, Doyle did;nt flow, . That was all TE

[@Andrew-vj7gw]

He can obviously pick but tone is strange. Sounds like metalic finger picks. with scratching on wound strings. And no real use of dynamics.

[@ekraszewski]

So let’s hear what you’ve got. Crickets.......

[@DaveFisher1]

What are you listening to him on? He's playing in a TV studio. Give him a fair play and you'll hear what a great guitar virtuoso he is. I will agree that this particular performance is not my favorite but he can make a guitar sing.

[@tomf429]

You can’t do that everyday with fingernails. Maybe once a week. Thank God for molded fingerpicks.

[@bencawood]

He plays better then tommy

[@napoliondynamite]

Um, I'm a christian to but not everything good is inspired by god...I'm inspired by megadeth and metallica...

[@captaindein33]

pretty much all the same song

[@joe1969812]

His facial expressions make me sick.

[@thomas-ow8pu]

Too much showboating. Just play the song, not your face.
