We pray that your will be done, thank you, dear LORD our Savior LORD and King. In you be honor and glory both now and forever, Amen.

Had the pleasure of seeing this fine gentleman play a couple of clinics in Kingston Ontario. Reminds me to practice every day. Insperantional. 🎶🎸👍

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thanks Ronald. I sure miss going to Canada. Blessings!!

[@stevenschiano8660]

Every guitar player that I’ve ever seen live has always inspired me to practice more. Like Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Clark, Eddie Van Halen and so on. But then I saw Doyle Dykes for FREE! at a clinic. I sat there in the front row with my mouth open. When it was over I seriously considered giving up playing guitar. But I couldn’t I love it too much. So I bought the Virtuoso Fingerstyle Guitar book by Mr. Dykes and set out to learn Wabash Cannonball. What a workout. I’ve been practicing it for months and I’ve barely made a dent. But that’s okay,He’s made me a better player. And I want to thank you sir. When I get home from work I play the guitar not the TV. And when I finally started feeling better about my guitar playing, I saw Tommy Emmanuel live. And the whole thing started over again. 😂

DOYLE DYKES - Wabash Cannonball Google to be reminded that this Bluegrass classic “with a tune from the 1880s” was originally made famous by “Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys” circa 1936. Best ever instrumental version? This one (says me) just posted (2/9/2024) by Doyle Dykes. Some devilishly difficult picking that Doyle delivers perfectly, beginning to end, managing to make it look (almost) easy. How does he do it? Doyle was playing this instrument, his signature model TAYLOR when my guitarist son Ben saw him perform at a Toronto music store - and called me to say “Best guitarist I have ever seen, Dad.” So, like father like son. By the time Mr. Dykes begins to accelerate the pace around the 1:39 mark, I'm getting goosebumps. You too? Celebrated elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Best ever vocal version? This one set to a superb steam train video with 5M 'views' and counting. Johnny Cash, of course. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vMgmtvlNhpbbM

[@timmismith8978]

One of the most amazing guitar players EVER!!! Makes me happy just to hear him play , instantly!!! A great person too!!! Thank you for the videos 🙂

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I heard about your rendition of this song over on a the Blind Pig and the Acorn channel. I had to come listen. Im mesmerized! 😊I love your style of playing. I live in WNC near the GSMNP. It’s been quite the couple of weeks. 😢the stories coming out from the deep hollers and hills in ritual areas! Stories of survival and tragedy. There are no words. 🙏 I listened to an old Billy Graham revival recording from 1987 tonight. I grew up watching his revivals on 📺 (id have to go out and turn the antenna 😊). I sure do miss him. His son has sone fine work. So, that and now this, has made for a nice evening. Thank you. I think I need to come here more often. 🥰

[@smandez2023]

If Sunday is the String-a-long, this is the Thursday Night Throwdown :) Now pick up all them wood chips folks! Woot woot! Thanks Doyle.

[@rom14141]

If this song could ever be tamed, Doyle, you just did it. However, tunes like these take on a life of their own and evolve over time. You may have just added your energy to it and created an even bigger future giant when the next "Doyle Dykes" carries it even further. We'll done!

[@CarlHasenauer]

Thanks for the ride on the Wabash Canonball 🚂. ❤

[@jimbos.online]

Doyle, you can see Wabash just getting it down the track as you play. Here's a plug "Sunday Morning String Along", with Doyle Dykes don't miss it.🎉🎉🎉

[@danbgt]

One of my favorite DD specialties! Thanks for the rerun Doyle! You must have played that a thousand times but always look like you are having fun doing it.

[@rickf.9253]

That blows me away every time I see him play it. He can get so much music with just that thumb, it's incredible!

[@lindawoody8501]

Hooray for more Random Late Night Picking - err Pickin'. This is such a fun arrangement you do with the bender and your fast playing. Very nice to see that picture of Roy Rogers back up in view on your wall.

[@Clfike]

Thanks, Doyle! Loved it. ❤

[@clicks59]

Oh man!

[@trukapipa]

Fun! Epic harmonic bend at the end to wrap it up in style!

[@TimothyMarkPrice]

Get It Brother Doyle! Woohoo!

[@andersestes]

That's my favorite guitar of yours, you watch and hear you play. Gorgeous looks and wonderful sound.

[@AaronNelmuso]

We all love listening to you play, brother Doyle. You really give us cause to praise God with your amazing ability and gifting. Please don't ever stop

[@dennishaggerty9037]

Boy would love to learn this version

[@ibtm]

[@ColoradoMelons]

I actually applauded!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Wow… thanks so much!

[@CB-68-westcreations]

This is someone I would love to meet. I couldn't keep up with him on my guitar. But it would be a lot of fun trying.

[@curronhill2744]

Love the B string bending! You da man!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Hey, thanks!

[@CordellCoats]

Came over from @blindpigandtheacorn to hear this specific song. Paul made the statement of how you have a unique way of reaching above the nut and strumming to make the train sound.

[@JustaBritinChina]

Great picking! Thanks!

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank You!

[@jamesankrom2184]

Doyle, you always amaze me with the number of voicings you can get out of a single guitar. The subtle little bends to make this iconic song sound like crying steel. The basses are thundering much like a stand up bass, and of course the hot picking of this recognizable melody line. Great Job, Doyle. I'm a big fan and always look forward to the Sunday String Alongs.

[@randybock82]

You made that cat sound like a dobro for a while 😄

[@doyledykesmusic]

HA! Meow Cannonball!

[@stanbrown915]

DAAANG! 👏👏👏👏

[@alisiamondragon3013]

I heard you play this for the first time at my church and I was absolutely in awe, and after the hundredth time of listening to you play this, it still puts the biggest smile on my face! So good!

[@MicheleGioiello]

Whew, that is some smokin’ guitar! Thank you for sharing your gift, brother! 🎸

[@doyledykesmusic]

Thank you kindly!

[@duncansmith5734]

A fingerpickin' masterclass. Thank you Doyle for enhancing my life with your incredible playing. As the old joke goes, I'd give my right arm to play like that!

[@rickbullock4331]

A few more lessons, I would suggest the Chet Atkins method,and you sir should be considered a professional. 😳🫢😀 It’s a joke, he’s fantastic.
