Love how Doyle Dykes honors GOD with his life. Truly gifted from above ✝️🙏🏻

[@randynichols5796]

Appreciate you brother for your picking, but also being a Christian...God bless you!!!

[@boblstclair4023]

Fabulous player, my brother in Christ.

[@wayneconn1079]

Hi Doyle lovely tribute to chet . I am a guitarist in the UK. I lost the end of my finger working . So being a guitarist and it being my fret hand . I was completly down and struggling with life after . But with your videos and the good lord . Ive started to play again . The surgeon could not understand how my finger healed so well and healed over . I prayed and he listened and bought me here 😊 God bless you

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Superb! The segue, including tonal change ,from 'Oh, By Jingo' to 'Three Little Words' Chet would have loved. But then Mr. Guitar, late in life, when asked "Is there anyone you'd pay to see," responded immediately, "Oh, someone like Doyle Dykes."

[@ruthwhitaker7692]

The best guitar player ever. He makes those guitars TALK.

[@mgamga9476]

Chet "best fingerpicker" honestly today you are by far the best fingerpicker in the world. Years ago I saw a video of yours and had no idea who you were. I have been hooked ever since. (Although you make me want to just throw all my guitars away because I wish I can play your style and never will) love your playing, keep posting videos Please

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

43:50... Doyle, there are NO boring Chet stories. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@johnhiscutt1853]

Great playing, Chet was a legend keep up the good work, john from England

[@evis7]

Wow ! Just stumbled across this you tube site and am amazed by your playing and the beautiful guitars. But more importantly it became very clear your walk with the Lord and your spirit. God's given you some special talent and I am so happy I found you. Can't help gravitate to your interesting smile pocket shirts and western jackets hanging in the background. Long story short but I am up in Canada in beautiful Victoria British Columbia. I moved out here from Ottawa. Ontario back in 1994 via Nashville where I had the good fortune of befriending Ray Walker of the Jordanaires. I recently spoke with him and he's now I believe 89 years old. He became a pastor like his father and he and Marilyn his dear wife stillblive in Goodlettsville Tennessee. Just curious if you ever crossed paths with Ray ? Funny cause when I heard him sing in person I felt I should never sing again and now I get the same feeling after hearing you play those guitars I should never play again. Lol But I still do both but ever so humble now. Where can I purchase anyvof those garments though ? Cheers Bob Evoy

[@rockyland8895]

I understand too well. I didn't ever meet Chet, but I said for many years I would love to meet him. I remember the TNN program when they told us that Chet lost his battle to cancer. Well I can say now Doyle, You're my Guitar Hero. I've been playing now 57 Years and I Pray I can meet and just jam with my Guitar Hero someday Love You Man and may God continue to Richly Bless You

[@phillipthompson1276]

Been following you for years! A real blessing. From Brandon, Ms.

[@robertf6344]

Thanks Mr Dykes. Still nice to hear Chet stories and hear his music too. Best to you. (First heard Chet playing from my Dad playing his records in the early 60's)

[@ruthwhitaker7692]

The best I’ve ever heard. You make those guitars more than talk. I’ve been listening for over two hours , nonstop.. I keep backing it up and listening to them over and over. I can’t believe anyone can play like that. Thank you so much.

[@geraldlovgren9939]

Love your testimony and storys... what a great thing, that Chet was born again! He was a great inspiration in many ways.

[@dannydobson9045]

Outstanding! I enjoyed it all! May have caught a lick or two Thankyou for your time always👍

[@davidbuttress9214]

What a great String a Long today Doyle,your message to our youth was spot on! Always enjoy hearing you play Classical Gas but dearly love hearing those songs on the nylon,whether the Sands or your Chet model,would also like hearing your Godin nylon again,haven’t heard it in a while. Keep on brother,love what you do!!

[@World-as-i-c-it]

Love your stories and your talent, thanks Mr. Dykes! The songs you have in your head is amazing. You have been a favorite since i picked up a guitar, unfortunately i didnt pick that guitar up till i was 66, so no matter how much i practice i can never come close. Wish i had found you 20 years ago! God bless you and yours.

[@damonryan774]

Loved your stories and playing as always Mr. Dykes. God Bless and have a great weekend.

[@bobhowell8055]

Thank you forcthe great words

[@rickf.9253]

Nobody plays Chet better! Thanks Doyle!

[@rom14141]

1. What's the most technically challenging song you play on the guitar? 2. Any song or technique you've yet to master but still working on perfecting it? 3. Favorite personal Chet memory? Great video, sounding beautiful as usual. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

59:15 Thanks for playin Sails.... an all time favorite, so very beautiful.

[@walterbriggs272]

Fastest Chet medley and well done! Doyle please keep playing and God bless you

[@loganthornton6957]

I was really hoping you posted this on KZbin aswell. We need as many eyes on this video as possible!

[@rickbrosseau1162]

Nice playing Doyle. Clean.

[@thebigbrotherr]

the stories of you and chet and you and duane were great. Love the stories

[@jorgecontreras7631]

Grande el maestro Chet !!! 😀👍 ayer fue su aniversario, 20 años sin Chet Atkins 😰😩😰

[@danielbaker4006]

as long as there is a guitar picker like you doyle chet will live for ever

[@FrankSpeer66]

"And so shines a good deed in a weary world. "

[@coreykishman8833]

Still the best Doyle, well done and good on ya.

[@f81456]

How do you feel the "U" shaped necks are for average size hands? Also, especially like it when you sing😊

[@mandobanjoguitar]

Amazing guitar skills!

[@buck8288]

Wonderful!! I had the honor of recording At Richard Smith’s studio playing upright with George and Nat. Your playing is so inspiring!

[@paolospadaro]

And a Gretsch 6122 with Supertron at neck????? Bravissimo Doyle!!!! You are a CGP for me, sure!!!!!

[@michaelwallace6617]

Was that Harvey on pearl street in north Jacksonville? If so my dad and grandpa took me there as a kid!

[@tommysmith6638]

Chet helped thru so long nights when I was on the road

[@FrankSpeer66]

The PRS sounds amazing!

[@FrankSpeer66]

Hi Doyle. Are you using a compressor?

[@waynemossbarefoot]

I love these things 👣wayne moss

[@FrankSpeer66]

Best fingerpicker alive!

[@jamesbattiest3885]

You be getting it doyle you good come 2 Duncan oklahoma 2 seemed

[@humphreyterveer1338]

Bravo👏

[@jimmyhansen5842]

I wonder why Gretsch didn't make a model like that instead of all their cheap acoustic plywood models. I'm sure it would sell. And Doyle thanks for the good pickin' - you're the best😉👍

[@abegarcia849]

Wow!

[@vincentkowski8466]

You can practice from dawn to night and never play like Doyle. Doyle’s kind of talent is God given and we get to enjoy the gift.

[@JamesJohnson-d8t]

Chet and Merle and Doc Watson and Roy Clark and Joe Maphis

[@edgardpedrosilvajunior6947]

Hi, Doyle ! What's the second theme's title, please?

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Three Little Words

[@coljon007]

Love your message, but can’t hear it. Mic yourself.

[@whimpypatrol5503]

First think I did notice was all the orange AND the new haircut

[@robertwallace8533]

Doyle, you are a wonderful fingerstyle guitar player but sometimes slowing the tempo down a bit would be good in my opinion.

[@TremorBear]

WOW!

[@ChadRevels]

Pick it brother!

[@amandabrieno3487]

Hi Doyle

[@ChadRevels]

What’s your toughest Chet tune to pick?

[@livingadreamlife1428]

I would think that Yankee Doodle Dixie would be up there

[@glennriddle285]

you need a mike.

[@MajeticLuka]

iNSPIRING! Thanks, Doyle!

[@richardkoker8749]

not boring at all!

[@walterbriggs272]

My favorite Chet tune is yakety axe. All the others are great marvels of technical playing and such but yakety axe makes me laugh. I know Boots wrote it and played it, Benny Hill had it as his theme, but I laugh at Chet playing that song. God bless y’all, we’ll meet when the roll is called up yonder

[@Daytripper51]

Doyle should have been certified CGP, along with Tommy Emmanuel....

[@robertlee8042]

Not phrased well.

[@Guitar11player]

Doyle. Slow down man and make it precise. Herky jerky is not plain to hear. Better arrangement before you play would help some too. No pun intended.

[@edlondon3717]

Plays it too rough
