Fingerstyle virtuoso Doyle Dykes is widely considered to be one of the best guitarists in the world. Primarily Dykes was influenced by Chet Atkins and Merle Travis, Duane Eddy and the Beatles. As a devout Baptist he has served as a minister in a small church in Florida; the influence of Christianity is present in much of his work. He began performing with his gospel-group family when he was a teenager. He toured around the world with The Stamps Quartet (gospel) and later with Grand Ole Opry star Grandpa Jones.
Doyle has also shared the stage with Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Duane Eddy, Peter Frampton, John Fogerty, Vince Gill, and many others.
Doyle became a Taylor Guitars clinician in 1995 and since then has done hundreds of Taylor workshops at music dealerships across the U.S., Canada and abroad. In 2000, Taylor introduced the Doyle Dykes Signature Model (DDSM) guitar, which Doyle helped to design.
