Barry the Sailor is my dad! Doyle just touched on the miracle of how they reunited. It’s even more powerful when you hear it from both perspectives.

[@petrastellar3300]

@bclackey75 your dad did an incredible thing unknowingly !! can you share more about the reunion story pls ??

[@larrypresnall5360]

I’ve never met Barry, but I have met and spoken with Doyle years ago and I’ll just say, “God bless Barry for helping give us Doyle.” They’re both treasures.

[@dougyoung6743]

Doyle is a real inspiration! I’ve seen him play several times here in Ottawa at Lauzon Music and was blown away each time! Don’t miss the chance to catch his show if you can!

Doyle is a fine musician and such a nice person!! Love to hear him!

[@blues61]

Awesome! I'm an experience fingerstyle player but I can't say that I've played those exact patterns. Transcribing them now and off to the woodshed! Thank you Don, Doyle and Sweetwater.

Thanks to KZbin, I recently just found out about Doyle and I have to say, this gentleman is a monster finger picker. Thanks for uploading this!

[@paulwilson6260]

Doyle’s the best! Thank the Lord for Barry the Sailor! :-)

[@walterbriggs272]

Doyle I sure appreciate your time explaining thumb picking, cause it sounds so good

[@corystansbury]

Doyle is an incredible human

[@andreasfetzer7559]

Wow, it is such a joy, to hear and see you guys playing. This little video gives so much inspiration.

[@t-bone3657]

Recently saw him here in St Petersburg FLA at the music shop I use. Great performance and a true gentleman.

Made me smile

I met Doyal Dykes the first time around 20 years ago at the Mad About Music Show in Birmingham England. He was a lovely person & I was blown away as he physically is a man mountain (I'm a small skinny guy!) & he played AMAZING!! He also jammed with bassist T.M.Stevens!!!

[@GaveMeGrace1]

Thank you so much!

[@robertdavis1255]

What a great player and such a gentleman. Met him in sarnia, Ontario at a godin guitars clinic.

[@tjstevens001]

That is awesome!!

[@danemount6113]

Thank You, Doyle. If you come out to the SF Bay Area, Let me know please. I'm just in awe of your playing skills and your integrity! Sincerely, Dan in San Francisco.

Amen

[@genesiskeglar6372]

Very cool. Love the background story.

[@robertweldon7909]

One of the things about true masters of an instrument, they don't brag about how good they are they just do it. Then because they are what they are they will answer your questions and show you stuff. I wonder if that sailor knows what he created. Many thanks to him too. Hey Doyle, maybe with this video, you can find sailor X and do a little pickin together for us all. ;-)

[@tjstevens001]

Good stuff!

[@markdavidjabez2018]

Amazing

[@sirirfanschannel766]

Fascinating, Thank you! :-)

[@paulyflyer8154]

After watching this I've decided to set fire to all my guitars.

[@richiezombie531]

The way Doyle looks up to Barry the sailor, is the same way I look up to Doyle.

[@markmartin3221]

Well the Bible says rejoice in suffering as it helps us in perseverance and build character. I will rejoice in suffering to get this right! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@dieselman7453]

That’s class bro 😎 you have no idea wat this lesson means to me them patterns are what I was looking for now that I have them written down it’s time to program them into my thick head 😂cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪 great video

[@taperecorder3]

It's gonna take me some time to get down this 1 finger picking pattern, I saw him at a music store for only $10 about 10 years ago, best $10 I ever spent, I consider Doyle dykes the most molodic sweet sounding creative guitarist, I would have never figured this out in a million years, but I did figure out my own style using 6 in a pattern, this is the 1 pattern I have Ben looking for thank you google youtube

[@larryborst9684]

Hi Doyle, I play finger style guitar without a thumb pick. However, I would like to start using one. Which brand of thumb pick do you use, and which ones would you recommend? I’ve tried one and it does not work for me. Thank you for the great music, I’ve been enjoying it and learning from it. THANK YOU!

How do I give this a million likes?

[@duaneholcomb8408]

I play finger style. Was influenced by doc Watson. Latter I went to a 3 finger style. Coarse I'm not as goodcas Doyle. Or even doc. But I do alright. And have fun with it,,

[@ramjayanthravichandran]

What kind of Taylor does Don carr have?

[@raveneye12]

What strings does he skip? Just 5?

[@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806]

Newbie here... Can anybody tell me what is the chord progression for the 5th string pattern, then the chords he's using for the 6th string pattern...? I'm not even advanced enough to recognize all the shapes... lol. I think I understand that differnt chords go with the different patterns... and that has something to do with the chord having it's "tonic" on the 6th string vs. 5th string... Does that basically just mean use the 6th string patter for chords that actually USE the 6th string, and the 5th string pattern for chords that USE the 5th string (i.e., at all)?

[@dieselman7453]

Wat chords was he using with that pattern it’s so fast I can’t make it out 😂😂🎸🎸
