When I read the title of your post, my first thought was "Wonder if he's ever seen/heard Doyle Dykes." Guess so.

You can go to about any Bluegrass festival and see guitarist as good or better imo.

I dunno about that I understand its bluegrass, but some of that stuff is more then youd see at most any show. (unless a handful of people were there) If your the spokesplayer for taylor guitars i think you have a little credability.

Doyle's a fine guitarist. I got to see him live last year.
Here's a few others you might like:

that Bill Cooley clip is awesome. I have never seen anyone fret so effortlessly that than, looks like his fretting hand is moving from chord to chord like its been oiled.
brilliant, thanks for that.

He's alright. I've seen alot better though. I like Tim Reynolds on acoustic to be honest, he's pretty great. Doyle was good, be I've seen many better players, I really like the harmonics though, but then again, there pretty common place. He must be better then the video though, being Taylor's spokeperson.
Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.
segovia is awsome
"My whole being was seized by an indescribable happiness as I began to play the guitar, for its tone was deep and sweet in the bass notes, diaphanous and vibrant in the higher ones. And its accent, the soul of its voice was noble and persuasive. I forgot everything but the guitar..."
-Andres Segovia from his autobiography
--And I got it from The heavy guitar bible
I really like that quote
And those videos are pretty awsome noteboat I like that no fret song haha
