If you have never seen Doyle Dykes, nor even heard of him, I would urge you to try to make it to one of these shows.

I have seen him once in Florida and he is a truly phenomenal guitar player.

These shows are usually done as promotions for Taylor guitars (he is kind of worldwide roving ambassador for Taylor guitars) and are free to attend as far as I remember.

I should mention that Doyle is an evangelical Christian, and makes this apparent during his performance, but I would urge anybody who disagrees with his views not to let this affect their attending one of his shows.

Trust me, he is one of the true greats. You will be amazed.

I shall certainly be at his Glasgow show on Tuesday
