[@dlagrua]

Doyle has God given talent. I don't care how much you practice, he was born to play like this. You can't be that great without help from above.

[@fonkamex]

A true master

[@jimharris8597]

I've got to say every time I hear Doyle play I just get more amazed by his talent.

[@sooparticular]

one of the best all time players

[@jeremydavia6006]

Doyle is a true showman and one of the all-time great!

[@sdalton]

I'm mostly a rock fan, but man it is so refreshing to hear stuff like this once in awhile. I listen to this and just feel at ease.

[@MarkWheadon]

Beautiful. There's a clarity, where every note is crystal clear as it's being hit spot-on (esp. on the left hand). The man can play!

[@mainlymusicman]

I first watched this video the year it was uploaded in 2008. Good to be back.

[@zeeeOgre]

Player and amp are absolutely stunning. Thank you.

[@johnny79309]

Unbelievable! this should be 10 million views

[@thinharmonies4824]

I met this guy yesterday in hawkins texas. And it was the most amazing moment of my life. He's a really nice guy really religious. After I dropped my guitar off at the guitar shop he was at I asked if he could sign my guitar and boy did he do it. Such a great guy god bless him

[@chaykuh]

I don't even own a guitar worth his signature. I'd steal my mom's Martin for it in a heartbeat though. :D

[@TLRedmo]

Terrific articulation and gifted playing skills.

[@chirilas5217]

Excellent, as always. Bravo! Doyle.👏👏👏

[@bt8820]

Doyle is one of the best there is.

[@rasitz]

I am a Chet fan but this is the best version of Wabash Canon Ball played on the guitar I have ever heard. Can't say to much about this guy that's already been said He is off the charts. Great talent with his Great personality and Presentation. He really loves playing. If he ever comes to my area I will go see him.

[@channelsurfingwriter]

I saw Doyle a few years ago at the Sonoma County guitar festival. He was playing a Taylor through a Rivera Sedona. The tone knocked me out! I asked him what kind of amp it was. He told me it was a brand new development from Rivera and that Paul Rivera was there. I went and spoke to Paul about the amp. When he explained all it would do, I had to have one. I ordered one the next day and still have it to this day. Wonderful amplifier.

[@pabloperez4063]

how much did you pay x it, Gary? Thanks! Can you be specific with the model, or is it just Rivera Sedona?

[@susanroycroft89]

Wow!!! Can't say anything more... or maybe Brilliant 😮😮😮

[@freebeer53]

This is entertaining, I've seen him do this live at the old Tom's music store in Victorville! He's amazing!

Now that is playing a guitar.

[@FreightandCargo]

Great job picking that tune ... I love the bending of the strings, almost sounds like a steel !!!!!! Great job, I enjoyed listening.

[@ThePreciousguitar87]

World class playing! Awesome. The behind the nut bending sounds sweet!

[@DaveM1260]

My first look at this gentleman...Great talent. Tommy Emmanuel is still my acoustic guitar God. But I'll continue to follow this guy...

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

Don't discount this guy. I love Tommy also, but this guy is close behind. Probably two of the top players today.

[@MrMiss]

Tommy, Doyle and Richard Smith. All legends. 👍🏻

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Awesome...beautifully done... The song that must surely be the anthem of the Grand Ol Opry.....loved it.

[@essayprec]

Love the Rivera amp with the JBL speaker. sounds fantastic! Of Course Doyle does too!

[@RichToneMusic]

Fantastic playing Doyle!! A favourite of mine!

[@herdguy22]

That's absurd. Bravo!

[@susanroycroft89]

Wow!!! Absolutely incredible, I just gobsmacked 😮😮😮

[@TTexas2]

WOW! Fantastic technique and wonderful style ! ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Thanks you for posting

[@danjacksonguitar3701]

Could listen to this all day

[@dmkays]

That was most excellent. Thank you for sharing it on KZbin.

[@mickeypopa]

What a genius! :o

[@dgrundman7499]

Wow, 1st time seeing or hearing about this guy, remarkable interpretation of a classic country standard. And that ending, whoo eee! Also gotta love that classic old school feathered hair style, you rock-it Doyle!

[@pauljannone123]

Awsome, This guy's so good, And he's got a bit of a Adrian Legg vibe going on with those bend's.

[@GreatGuitarMusic]

The Lord has blessed this man with the gift of music.....how good is this? Don Pruitt Great Guitar Music Channel

[@dethbefodisco3221]

Me and Dad went and saw this guy play Ed Carlton music in Lakeland that was about 40 people there at the time he was the spokesperson for Taylor guitars you used to play at the Grand Ole Opry he's a badass

[@jerryp514]

Not only a great guitarist but a genuinely nice guy, too.

[@haddox81]

wow that is just insane talent...awesome job!!

[@davidramos__]

my god i love this man

[@coriscotupi]

He sounds like there is a band accompanying him! What a gifted player.

[@johncarlo7395]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had an eargasm

[@ronniestandridge5064]

Awesome picking.

[@craigt3365]

absolutely fantastic!!!

[@TheTelf44]

Instead of trying to compare and argue ' who is the greatest' guitarist / musician why not just watch and enjoy this fabulous performance !! I just did. Never sen the guy before , but I just love this one.

[@delawde]

I went to see him in Virginia a few years ago. Wife wanted to go early and get an autograph. I said we won't get close enough. I walked to the top of the steps and shook his hand. I was able to talk to him for about a half hour.He's about the best guitar player I've ever heard, but more than that he is just a very nice man. I understand his friends in the industry say pretty much the same thing.

[@knuteskild]

+gary delawder Lucky you... :-)

[@Guitslinger59]

Thats the prettiest stuff I've ever heard!

[@kevdadd1976]

That was insane!

[@hkguitar1984]

He has actually improved his playing through the years. This clip is from 2014! Enjoy kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqTdp3-aqLmNhs0

[@lucid13del]

A super guitar player. I met him at a show and he's just a real nice guy. He'll actually talk to you. A regular down to earth guy.

[@Streamliner009]

amazing playing!!!!!

[@donwalker7518]

Great Stuff!! My dad's favorite song.

[@lart1990]

that second tap harmonic at the end. ...orgasmic

[@flexas666]

[@Superempathyy]

Your style make's me smile :)

[@bobschneeify]

amazing playing

[@indeathwewillnotpart2458]

That's some sweet guitar playing

[@Minicat99]

......goosebumps. Absolutely beautiful! Tommy Emmanuel eat your heart out.

[@taxisteve929]

Fantastic!! Never try to compare different style guitarists. Like comparing a great apple to a great orange. If you're in the mood for an orange, it'll always be better.....until you're craving an apple.

[@martinaxman2033]

HAHAHAAA! That nearly made me ill. (or "who I want to be when I grow up!) This guy is off the charts!

[@jmont1031]

Outstanding.

[@horseman528]

I came here by accident. I had never heard of this guy, but he can play like nobody's business. He's right of there with Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, and Glen Campbell in their hayday. May they all rest in peace.

[@2666loco]

Fantastic

[@user-qh5lb1te6j]

I love your music,

[@qbeztammifyful]

fantastic sound en playing super all the stars greetings jan

[@Bobdrinksalot]

A friend of mine bought his book and that was the tuning it gave for this version.

[@stepitupandgo67]

I'm not super crazy about the tone...maybe it's the recording or something...but ..dang..this man can play...it almost looks like it gets easier for him as it speeds up...I gotta learn this one properly...doyle definitely in the top 10 in the world for me...definitely in the top 5 for chet style guitarists...

[@MusicBart]

This is sooo cool🤘🏻

[@MELANSON247]

awesome man awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@lancedenzelgulley6395]

Amazing.

[@domenicpietrantonio3478]

Like a true Boss!

[@dukestt]

i wish i could play this

[@mouseguts02]

dukesTT you can just practice I wish I could still play but my carpal tunnel is so bad I can't feel the strings anymore

[@BOABSTAR58]

Absolute fantastic picking , your the main man , :)

[@RobTackettCovers]

I'm thinking Doyle might just be the best at doing the whole thing...you know, getting the rhythm, melody, adding tasteful this and that here and there...I just found out about him yesterday...found one of his more affordable Taylor models that was made in Mexico on craigslist and I was like "well who is Doyle Dykes and how does that guitar sound? Man, I thought I'd seen it all, now I don't know if I ever will...in one of his videos he said the Holy Ghost revealed to him some of the techniques that he uses...and I can only conclude that he's telling the truth...

[@simpeable]

I saw on video Doyle performance in London acustic show few days ago with his new beautiful soundy Olson guitar. Ha has two of them and reasonably he is very excited about them, I mean who wouldn't be, with guitars worth each 12,500$ at least. Olson is big name today, but seem to me that some songs like this one will never be overplayed and oversound with any big name new guitar eventhough Olson sounds perfect no doubt.. This song sounds perfect to, but on Taylor and that is it. There are many other songs like this one that will never sound better on any other guitar. Somehow I feel Taylor is just guitar for him. Doyle represented Taylor guitars over 10 years and probably he needed change which is absolutely normal thing to do. He sad once " guitar comes and go", and that is ok, he played Taylor then Guild for two three years and now he play's Olson. I mean everybody would occasionlay like to play different guitars if you are able to. You can like to play same songs on any other guitar but certain songs are just made to be played on specific guitars like this one Wabash Cannonball played on his signiture model Taylor DDSM and Country Fried Pickin, and of course many, many others like Amazing finger style Vol 1 played on 1994 Taylor XX-MC. 20th anniversary model . I am big Doyle's fan and this is only my opinion but I wanted to share it with you.

[@lucyszabo6745]
