I love Eddie Van Halen's work. But watching Doyle right now reaffirm's my belief that there isn't a "best" or "greatest" guitarist. Just many men and women who can bring us great unique and original enjoyment from this musical instrument and we can all be grateful for that.

You have a new fan, brother! I have a masters in music education and have been teaching elementary students for 32 years. I’m a multi-instrumentalist, a composer, and a song writer. Of all things, Eddie’s keyboard playing made me want to become a musician. Lately, my passion is playing hymns on classical guitar. I really get what you are doing and am absolutely blown away! You’ve honored Eddie and you’ve honored the Lord. And you’ve blessed me! Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful. I was gutted to hear of Eddie’s passing, he was a childhood hero and although it’s overused, he did change the face of music. No one sounded like VH, none (especially in the 70’s) played, had a sound or had melded those rhythmic elements to rock. I may be a thumb picker now but Eddie is still there at the beginning of my journey. Beautiful tribute Sir.

Doyle, I never heard of you, but I know you now! That was a heartfelt, gorgeous & epic version of "How Great Thou Art" in honor of Ed. I totally connected with it. I'd like to think EVH would have also. Might have been the best tribute I've watched all week on KZitem. New fan & subscriber. GOD Bless you.

I can see what Eddie would have admired in your playing style. There's a precision and a finesse that is required to play this type of guitar without mistakes. There's no effect to mask a slight error. So to use the right hand as you do is much the same thing Eddie did, just in a different genre of the instrument. It's a deeper knowledge of the instrument that goes way beyond a basic understanding of the fretboard.

Some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet and Doyle, Jonathan, and Tommy were three of the finest fingerstyle players in the world. Have stayed in touch with Doyle off and on throughout the years and now have the great luck for being in Fort Wayne and seeing him come to Sweetwater Music on a regular basis. Love what you do and what you stand for Brother Doyle. I'm a very lucky person for having met you and been inspired by your music and inspired by music you have written for others. - GB
