Doyle Dykes Biography
Doyle Dykes is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on May 23, 1954 in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Guitar country musician who has covered many hit songs like “Amazing Grace” and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
He is greatly influenced by guitar legend Chet Atkins.
Dykes was born in Cleveland, Tennessee and grew up in Jacksonville, Florida in a Christian community. His father is referred to as “Bubba Dykes” and he has a brother named Aubrey. He cites June 1965 during his church’s “summer revival” as the moment he became a lifelong Christian as an 11-year-old boy, seeing “the lights of salvation and a new purpose and desire for my life and since that day, I’ve never been the same”. His first guitar was a $30 Sears Roebuck Silvertone acoustic. Dykes claims a sailor named Barry Lackey was the most important influence in his development as a guitarist. Lackey attended his church one day, and using a thumbpick from his pocket, “completely blew him away” with his “spider picking”, playing just like Chet Atkins and Merle Travis, Doyle’s heroes. Lackey was then invited to his home for supper that night and showed him a right-hand picking pattern that “got his fingers working together in the right way, where the thumb played the bass and after-beat rhythm, and the three fingers took care of the rest.” He later reunited with Lackey at a Taylor Guitars event in Detroit in 2002, and claims that were it not for him, he would never have become a successful guitarist.
On December 23, 2004, Dykes had an operation on a brain tumor in which the surgeon compressed his brain. The operation left him with a temporary loss of balance (meaning he had to learn to walk again) and suffered from extreme headaches and nausea for several years afterwards and ultimately left him deaf in his right ear. He and his wife, Rita, a high school sweetheart, have been married for at least 37 years and have four children, including daughters named Holly, Heidi and Hayley and a son named Caleb, also an accomplished guitarist. He has resided for many years in the Nashville area and is a close friend of Duane Eddy. Dykes is an avid collector of old Western movies, including the films of John Wayne, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and Steve McQueen. In 2011 he released a book The Lights of Marfa, a semi-autobiographical book documenting his encounters with God, with numerous Christian references to events in his own life.
His father is affectionately referred to as Bubba.
