[@green4black]

What a treat! I’ve followed John since his days in Solas. He’s a phenomenal talent.

Great lesson!!! I had the privilege to learn directly from him just a week ago in Belfast. John Doyle other than being a great musician he is also a great teacher that knows very deeply the musical language of his own tradiotion.

Thank you. I’ve been listening to Dick Gaughan do this all my adult life and I finally understand it.

I came here to see if watching John Doyle's hands when he plays, I'd understand where and how the guitar gets a crunchy percussion "bump" sound in his playing style, and was surprised that he breaks it down! It's his slight finger tap in the triplet here! I play the oud, very different than guitar technique, I love finding out how other string instruments work. I saw him live with Liz Carroll in 2006, and I've been fascinated by his guitar playing ever since. Wonderful video, thanks.

That “dirt” u refer to….I used to tell my students, think of a regular pick stroke as a footstep firmly planted , whereas the muted or , what you call dirt stroke is like stepping on a bed of hot coals, enough to touch ground but outta there real quick like.
