The Patriotic Medley - Doyle Dykes

[@richardsisk1770]

I can’t watch and listen to you play without smiling 😅 Thanks Doyle

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Just when I was thinking about DOYLE DYKES and his "Patriotic Medley" (Pick it up at the 2:15 mark.) I have two different versions on CD -- remember those?) My 20 year old Camry has a CD player on which I was just listening to Doyle's unrivalled (for me) Patriotic Medley. I literally sit down at the computer, and the intuitive genius that is KZbin late 2024, sends this my way: As I like to joke, with fellow Christians including Mr. Dykes, "What a coincidence!" Pick it up at the 1:58 mark. Here he's playing an early favorite of his many guitars -- a 1962 Guild Starfire. I told Doyle that I had the same bodied instrument, a Guild Slim Jim "minus the Bigsby tremolo tailpiece, in tobacco sunburst finish." Completely made over perfect -- for 15 hundred Canadian dollars less than a thousand, American. I gifted it to my oldest (27-year-old) grandson, Thomas Blackburn: A much better guitarist that his old Grumpa Mark ever was! Thanks for sharing Doyle Dykes! Mark B of the frozen North

Hi Doyle, I've watched you play this Patriotic Medley in several of your videos and I always have a tear in my eyes while listening/watching! Our Country is in pretty bad shape right now and music like this is a great medicine for all of us! God Bless you for who you are and what you do! Your long time follower,,, Tom

I to listen to that with hair standing up on my arms. Absolutely beautiful arrangement Unfortunately if you were to play that in school today they would have your parents up accusing you of spreading hate. God bless you and have a Merry Christmas Doyle. And Merry Christmas to everyone else too

[@mvmcfarland]

[@mgamga9476]

I listen to this with the hair standing on my arms the entire time the chord structure is beautiful along with the finger-picking you are one of the most talented guitarists I've listened to on KZbin over the past years

Thanks for cheering me up.

[@karst41]

First time I was able to see you live was at Mt Paran about 20 years ago, you get better and better as time marches on. Thank you for broadcasting.

[@bubbag295]

Doyle, fantastic playing. Funny you should mention Harvey's Barber Shop. I grew up down the street from there and my father was Harvey's barber partner for many years . Harvey was a great guitar teacher and could really play that 6120. I remember taking weekly evening guitar lessons from Harvey at that shop and I would usually follow after your time slot. I had a 1965 SG Standard and still play it to this day. You use to mesmerize me when you would play Classical Gas, and still do today. Those were good times and I have a lot of fond memories of that barber shop. I enjoy your videos with Vintage Guitar Magazine and on your own youtube site. I subscribe to the magazine and like you , I am guitar poor, but there is always room for one more....... Mike Greenlee

[@doyledykesmusic]

Cool message! Thanks!

[@andybowen1249]

So cool that you hung on to this stuff.

[@randybock82]

Beautiful!

[@rickf.9253]

Incredible!

[@roysmart4560]

Great music...love the picking...

[@davidjohnson3166]

Doyle - Just hearing you play does wonders for this old 75 year old body. Sure I played in some doofus high school band but hgearing what it's supposed to be is pure pleasure. Oh, and BTW, also figured I'd been without Jesus in my life so am getting baptised July 18th into the Church of Jesus Christ.... and much of that belongs to you, thanke tyo Jesus.

[@doyledykesmusic]

David… That is wonderful!!! You made my day!

[@davidjohnson3166]

Doyle - THANKYOU for the ❤️ that means so much to me, and boy, do I have so much to learn plus playing your riffs while I study and learn. Bye, Dave

[@davidjohnson3166]

@@doyledykesmusic - And just one more thing and to me clearly the most important and that is: The way our country's going, I figure its about time I supported our LORD, not unlike what our fore Fathers did to start these United States, which is rarely taught to any great extent in the educational system, how very sad.

[@jasoncarter6097]

Beautiful !!

[@kevinl6111]

Amazing!!! I never get tired of your playing and thank you Doyle!

[@broham89]

Absolutely magnificent

[@ChadRevels]

One of my favorite medleys brother

[@tedgarren4942]

"Glory Glory Hallelujah" sounds so much like "What a friend we have in Jesus" they could be played simultaneously..

[@GunnarSalyer]

So beautiful!!

[@lindawoody8501]

Very nice you are playing your various guitars. Each is a unique sound. I always look forward to your wonderful videos! Many thanks for sharing.

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you so much!

[@richardsecules7994]

Absolutely gorgeous as usual Doyle. I sure wish that I could only do a speck of what you can do. I just love your finger style guitar. Thank you so much and may God Bless You and your Family.

[@doyledykesmusic]

[@edwinchng]

[@RaptureReady2025]

Non guitarists: I gots to learn guitar Guitarists: I gots to stop playing now

[@froter1]

[@stringbender57]

Beautiful arrangement and played so well! I love to hear you play this medley.

[@themayor6836]

Doyle is the best guitar player (in any genre) walking planet earth. You don't believe me. Try doing whats he's doing then post it on youtube for all the world to see. :)

[@pierremcnicoll9938]

Beautiful arrangements, great playing. It makes me wanna learn those songs. Do you have a book with these arrangements and others as a matter of fact? Would be great.

[@josephdias6237]

Nice....

[@donlarson1907]

If more of us would cling "bitterly" to to our God and our Guilds, our country would be better off.

[@mdb-music7620]

Hi Doyle, Absolutely love your Patriotic Medley. Do you have the specifications of the Guild Starfire 1962 you are playing? I’m looking to buy one for myself. Would love to see your Patriotic Medley on Spotify! Much love from the Netherlands!

[@FrankSpeer66]

Hey Doyle, how long does it take you generally to learn a medley like this and how in the world do you remember it? Do you play it regularly so you don't forget or do you have an identic memory?

[@thomastommy1192]

Awesome video thanks for sharing. How do I find your signature guitar? Thanks for sharing your video.

[@billsmith5581]

Wow great.....but I bet you didn’t play it that good 50 years ago 😉😊

[@doyledykesmusic]

[@royhanson3335]
