Many may not have heard of this great fingerstyle guitarist.
The first time I heard “Jazz in the Box” I knew I had to find out
who this guy was. His music has pushed me to become a better
guitarist and despite many of his music being difficult to learn I
am playing things that when I heard them I never thought I would.
I have seen him in person and his playing was so on point, perfect.
Doyle is an endorser and clinician for Taylor Guitars and has his
own signature model the DDSM. He plays in a huge variety of styles
and I would suggest listening to these songs to hear his range: “Jazz
in the box”, “Martha’s Kitchen”, “How Great Thou Art”, and “White
Rose for Heidi”. His daughter, Haley Dykes, often travels with him and
is also a great musician and singer, her CD “The Mystery of Her” won’t
disappoint. I own, and love, his book “virtuoso fingerstyle guitar” and
have been challenged by learning just some of the songs in it, the book
also comes with a CD of the music (it's in the amazon box to the right).
I will put a link at the bottom of the post to both hear and learn “Jazz in
the Box”.
Great DVD to check out with Doyle on it, he plays with some
greats like Duane Eddy and Tommy Emmanuel -
