I have been honored to meet Mr. Dykes onetime at Shadow Mountain Community Church. At that point I had not heard him play. Since then I have hear him play live 3 times (once at the Ryman ) and I have come to appreciate his musical ability to such a degree that I listen to him all the time. Now that he is posting on KZbin I love him more as a player but even more as a brother in Christ. If we don’t get to play together in this life we will have eternity to string along and maybe there I will be able to keep up with you. Thank you for Doyle.

A day without Doyle makes one weak.

Refreshing to hear a vintage Les Paul played clean for a change. Don’t get me wrong I love them cranked but this is beautiful

God Bless You 🙏 Amstetten 🇦🇹

[@GTRalso]

P90’s !!!!! ❤️

[@vincentkowski8466]

Somewhere Over the Rainbow was voted the best song of the 20th century. One of my favorite songs to play on the guitar but of course Doyle does it better. I just love that song. Thank you Doyle. You are such a blessing. ❤️🎶

[@robertadupree7656]

I feel blessed to have found your beautiful gift of music on KZbin 🙏🏻

[@AIainMConnachie]

Beautiful Les more Paul clean Loveliest guitar version on KZbin Inspiring

[@AIainMConnachie]

And great Les Paul meets Judy story

[@martymcpeak4748]

This is why I love Doyle's playing, he never loses the melody amidst the flourishes he adds. always tasteful.

[@kenhubbard2023]

played on my favorite guitar.

[@JustaBritinChina]

Lovely. Thanks. The story about Les Paul at the end rounded it all off for me. Your love for the guitar is obvious. But you really love and appreciate people.

[@johnbinford6706]

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the quintessential American song and resonates so powerfully with such a wide variety of people. Even as an instrumental it is so eminently recognizable and it captures the imagination. It is a song which musically "breathes" so easily and so naturally. Thank you Judy, thank you Les, and thank you Doyle for carrying the torch of such a beautiful song.

[@sirvicemanone]

Lovely description !

[@bobdavidbell]

So sweet with the P90's! I have a Tele with P90's and love it.

[@cliffadelman]

DD Ministered to my body, soul, and spirit... as you ALWAYS do. You know I love you, my totally like-minded brother. Iron sharpening Iron. Cliff

[@philstevens7339]

Smooth as silk. Not many folks can handle a Les Paul like that … note by note, clean and clear.

[@johnpearson4899]

I've heard a couple of really good guitar versions of this by very talented well known rock guitar players through the years but Your finger style adds layers without a lot of effects. Raw talent and skill. Much more beautiful. Thanks.🙏🇺🇸👍

[@doyledykesmusic]

Wow, thanks!

[@sirvicemanone]

Hey there brother Doyle ! You always make me smile and remind me of my faith in our Lord.

[@3rdgrade738]

it just keeps getting better !

[@jackessnvekt]

Wow!

[@arthursmith5252]

Thanks, Doyle.

[@dominicconti7736]

Wow. Amazing arrangement from Doyle Dykes one of the greatest guitarists of all times. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jr0706]

I know you prefer acoustic, Doyle, but I do love seeing you play that goldtop. I love the sound of clean P90s.

[@olschool3740]

Nothing random about that. Just beautifully delivered.

[@dannydobson9045]

There is probably a Gold Top Les Paul at the end of the rainbow 🌈 with your name on it!Thankyou for sharing!

[@authenticchristianityminis4109]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[@darrenwiggins9957]

This was a breath of fresh air.

[@bhilligoss]

Damn Doyle!

[@davidg5308]

Simply thank you!

[@tpledger100]

Thanks for posting!

[@doyledykesmusic]

You bet!

[@johnfenner347]

This is splendid playing !. A man who knows the changes. And a terrific example of how a “solid guitar” , can sound, in the hands of a wonderful musician. This is a lovely recording. As an ancient Jazzman, I really appreciated this sensitive performance. Best Wishes, and Greetings From Scotland.

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Like our mutual hero Chet Atkins, Doyle Dykes is the most versatile of the great finger-style guitar virtuosos. Case in point: my new favorite version of OVER THE RAINBOW. reason (I believe) that Chet -- when asked if there were guitarists he would pay to see in concert -- replied, "Oh .... someone like Doyle Dykes." Love the anecdote about Les Paul and Judy Garland sitting next to each other on a plane sharing close musical memories. And thank you sharing about the guitar -- the exact same model of Gold Top with those P-90 pickups that my guitar teacher played -- when I was 17 (a very good year). The best guitarist in Ottawa, Bill Shepherd (in the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame) who sold me my 1959 Slim Jim Guild (Starfire without a Bigsby). Did I say Great video. Thank you Mr. Dykes. The world would be a poorer place without you.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks Mark… are you still living in Ottawa? I love it there. Beautiful city.

Beautiful arrangement of one very beautiful song. You get all those wonderful chord changes in there Doyle. Not everyone does. They tug on our heartstrings for sure. It sounds so great played fingerstyle, almost harp like. Thank you for sharing with us Doyle and capping off a nice evening. God bless.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you very much!

[@robertpehlman5195]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jayheinz4624]

That was a very very nice creative arrangement that playing! 👍👏👏👏 I've only made feeble attempts at playing or coming up with arrangements of this classic. After listening to you play, I'll have to take another stab at it 🎸😁 and I like that ending story about Les🐦

[@jamescopeland5358]

I enjoyed that Doyle, I love the song and I play it myself in E. I think I will explore some other keys. Beautiful work brother

[@jackharrison8118]

Beautiful rendition Doyle, do it for us on a Gretsch!

[@mandobanjoguitar]

Nice Gold Top

[@steveburchfield5576]

GREAT JOB BRO !!!!!!!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks so very much!

[@jayrolsten4215]

I was doing some random late night picking myself and saw this video and thought I'd some random late night listening.!! Tell me, when you learn a song, do spend time learning all the progressions and then add things to make it your own version?

[@doyledykesmusic]

Basically yes!

[@jrlopez4341]

When are you gonna play in Florida Gainesville have a acoustic at the Wood studio you are awesome I wish you played there so I can meet you love all your music please share some of your techniques Anura Guitar techniques to the world I would love to learn some more

[@thepennydrops.]

Beautiful! I was wondering, do you play an arrangement of ‘make you feel my love’? I’ve been messing around with Jerry and Chets version of ‘Summer Serenade’ and noticed the similarities in those two songs.

[@doyledykesmusic]

I'll check it out!

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

So nice to hear this, especially with all the 'chinese' chords you have at your fingertips.. really very very beautiful and wonderfully unique. It just happens that I was listening last night again to Eva Cassidy's live Rainbow cover, it always brings me to tears for all the right reasons. the first time I heard it on the radio I had to pullover in traffic to the side of the road. I'm hoping you're familiar with it. I'll post a link if you don't mind/kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPHaYmhqblrrrs

[@jimbos.online]

Doyle, your rendition of this beautiful song is flawed - "Les'.

[@jimbos.online]

Thank you

[@dougmartin893]

Awesome. No, really.

[@diesel85idi]

Doyle. Did you write a song “I’m a child of God”.

[@doyledykesmusic]

No… wasn’t me.

[@GenePutnam]

Love the arrangement Doyle. Much different from the way I play it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2e8p55_gZZ0lck

[@allenallen5040]

Great player but it should be played on acoustic. Sound quality poor.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Sorry… I probably had the direct a bit hot. Was honoring Les on this piece.
