Doyle Dykes

Virtuoso Fingerstyle Guitar

To anybody interested in the possibilities of the fingerstyle guitar, Doyle Dykes needs no introduction. His spectacular technique combines the techniques of Jazz, Country, Bluegrass and more to create a startling performance style that embraces Chet Aitkins, Martin Taylor, Duane Eddy and others. Like Taylor, Dykes makes the seemingly impossible appear effortless - a veritable one-man-ensemble, his arrangements feature basslines, vamps, comping and melodic soloing simultaneously in a dazzling blur of virtuosic finger-work.

In this celebratory set of transcriptions, Jon Chappell provides a complete overview of the Doyle Dykes style and technique. Alongside 17 complete transcriptions in accurate Guitar tab you will find an informative biography and a detailed lesson covering the unique aspects of Doyle's remarkable talent.
