Bristoe; Thanks kindly for the reply sir, yes the nephew's guitars were very highly thought by a few folks who knew good instruments.
He isn't currently making them anymore, might go back to it someday I suppose, but is currently gone back to farming and picking wild mushrooms to take up his time.
The knack he seemed to have was picking the right wood to get fantastic tone in the guitars he built.
Anyway back to the topic at hand, if anyone hasn't heard Doyle Dykes play yet, a few of his videos on youtube would be time well spent - in my view anyways.
Thanks again Bristoe and all the best to you folks this weekend.

Dwayne. I usually like threads like this.. made it this far down thinking, meh... not really anything for me... hmmm sound like Sam... eh? Thanks for this post. I enjoyed and maybe when I have more time I can google more of Doyle.
hope all are well down south!

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
There are many , but Terry Kath of Chicago, Chicago Transit Authority, was one hell of a guitarist . They made a lot o syrupy songs, but they could rock and he was kick ass . If I knew how to post one, I’d put up a clip of “ I’m a Man “ great stuff and super tight group
The first 7 Chicago albums were loaded with amazing guitar music from Terry Kath. He was an amazing songwriter and performer. He didn't have the formal music training that the horns and keyboard guys but he wrote "introduction", the first song on their first album. He had the other guys write the music so they could record it. It was also a one take recording for the album. Chicago as a band was highly underrated but they lost me after Terry Kath died. The music lost it's soul.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
Of course SRV was one of my favorite guitarists, but like Jimi, would never fall into the “underrated” category.
I saw someone mention Frucianti (one of my favs), so I’ll throw out the late, great, Jeff Healy. His style was unorthodox, but man, could he tear [bleep] up!
Kingfish aka Christine Ingram. 20ish kid from Mississippi. He started playing guitar around 11. Check out some of his YouTube videos. Keep in mind the date of the videos. In many of them, he had only been playing for 5 or 6 years. He’ll end up as one of the greatest of all time...if he gets his weight under control and doesn’t croak as a young man.

Exactly. Never the same after that . I wish I had taken up playing when I was young, but I have a real appreciation of all kinds of picking. My dad usually played us a few tunes on his 6 string at bed time, I can still hear him play froggy went a courtin’ Or wildwood flower , my older brothers both played and my oldest son plays well. Singed him up for lessons at 13 as soon as he expressed an interest. I found out what girls were for at an early age and that took up too much time to learn it . My brothers were 6 and 7 years older than me and they usually stacked the old console record player with Zepplen albums and that’s how I went to sleep from 10 years old on.
