I wish that I’d discovered John Doyle many years ago. Feels like time has been wasted. His guitar playing is awesomely natural. He plays it like how a Mongolian rides a horse. And such a lovely person in there also. 😍
Watched the show of a guy who studied under this guy for many years. Needless to say, it was a hell of a show. But he gave all props to this man, his teacher
Here today because of Tony Polecastro's Acoustic Tuesday featured John Doyle. Holy cow, how did I ever miss this artist? Diving deep into the UA-cam hole after John Doyle tonight.
Doyle is pretty amazing - incredible musicianship. As I've watched other videos of the great Celtic, Breton and Bluegrass artists, I've noticed Doyle playing with all of them. Brilliant.
Many record companies these days try to restrict access to any form of their music that doesn't directly generate them significant revenue. Either they have no trust in the quality of their music, the interest of their listening base, or frankly because they are simply idiots. I bought a physical copy of this album because I heard it on youtube first. Keep it up!
This is SOOOOOOOOOO good! Heard "Clear the Way" the first time at Tonder Festival in 2010 and I've missed it ever since... So good to be reunited with this great song!
I saw John in Alexandria D.C. with Niall and Killian Vallely. Amazing entertainers, all of them. Glad to find this on youtube; now, if only I could find the one about the girl with long dark hair...
John how you doing bro? James here in Dublin. I run a second hand furniture warehouse now out here since the covid. Don't think I've seen the guitar in a year anyway... I took off today and I'm dedicating the whole day to the man that inspired me to play in the first place. (That's you btw) Love to you and the family. Hopefully I'll see you at the next cartoon bro. Sending you all the hugs.
From what I can hear... In the cold grey light of morning, after the deal had gone down, I awoke and shook all over - hoping a dram would bring me round. Well, I stared at the sight all around me; busted blue and faded grey. Men in heaps were scattered; men who fought and died the other day. Well, I live my youth in Connemara, roving from town to town. I shipped on board of the El Nina(?), to New York City I was bound. Not for honor, nor for country; we killed for three square meals a day.
For I saw my face there before me in the boy that I yew(?) down. He could have been a friend or brother; another exile from my town. Three thousand strong rose to fight them in Antietam’s ripening corn, but Fredericksburg was our undoing. Three hundred left to weep and mourn. Chorus x2.
I am in love with his music but I cannot find any tutorial, book or similar which can help me to build a similar sound Just chords description would be satisfying
I suspect if John used auto tune at all, it was in extremely small amounts and to fix minor details in already good takes. There is a lot of overdubbing and slick production value on the new album for sure, but I have heard John do everything he does on the album live as well as in the roughs of the recorded versions. Most trad players I know stay far away from pitch correction if possible when recording (myself included).
McMillan’s rebels, they fired upon us - shot and shell, buck and ball. Their green flag rose high above them as ours fell on the battle wall .Chorus. Well, hand to hand and face to face there a young rebel he charged me in the fray. I turned around and my blade went through him; I did the devil’s work that day.
It's CFCGCD, which is what he's mostly used for the last decade. Capo 2 gives DGDADE, which reveals that you've got an irish bouzouki tuning for the middle four strings :) .

Was googling the host of "Heck off Commie!" (Also named John Doyle) and came across this. Glad I did.
lol same
Saw him last month in Lancashire, UK. Awesome and one of the best folk gigs for a long while...everytime in future.
American Military History professor showed this in class today. A beautiful song and heartbreaking story.
Faugh a Ballagh!
I don't think this is the John Doyle im looking for
Someone's gotta make those Commies Heck off
This is the only John Doyle that matters.
😅 heck off commie
.. hehehehe his music isn't bad
LMAO
@nova bitch country
ok, this is epic
not just this style, one of the best period.
brilliant guitarist.one of the best at this style .
With his moon face, he's the best singer/guitarist in Irish music I've ever heard!!!
+elisa louise Is the moon face the secret to it all?
Sergio Ribnikov Gunnarsson
:))))))) No, but it makes him very friendly!
True that :)
Amazing ... puts me in mind of Dougie MacLean, one of my all-time favorites.
How have I missed this gem of an artist ?!
John Doyle is the Irish Jimi Hendrix😉
Like fine Irish whiskey he's getting better and better as time passes by...
indeed

Hi, can you share some names please? I'm trying to explore different kinds of folk. Especially if it's to the same calibre as JD.
Fág an bealach. Pure class, Mr. Doyle. Clear the way, I need to buy this man's album!
Magnifique et génial!! John tu es unique!!!!
This song goes along with The Fighting 69th, NY Irish Regiment by the Fenians, et al. I hope Mr. Doyle will be at Merlefest on a regular basis.

I love it! This is about the Irish Brigade in the civil war!
Faugh a Ballagh! From Sligo County,Ireland! Erin Ga Bragh!
I served with the fighting 69th. Honored to be a part of it! Garryowen in glory!

What a song Great Tribute to the Irish who defended our sacred Union
Once again, John..you amaze and delight us with your musicianship and voice..
yo based
Chokes me up every time I play it.
sounds beatiful
Masterful display from the big man.
Awsome playing and songwriting. Thanks to acoustic guitar magazine for introducing me to John.
Gotta Love it.
John how you doing bro? James here in Dublin. I run a second hand furniture warehouse now out here since the covid. Don't think I've seen the guitar in a year anyway... I took off today and I'm dedicating the whole day to the man that inspired me to play in the first place. (That's you btw) Love to you and the family. Hopefully I'll see you at the next cartoon bro.

Thanks for this...Josh reminds me of Ralph Mctell
Along with a guitar-playing he's a brilliant singer.
Bravo!
Talented irish guitar player
The Irish Brigade lives on
Class!

He's the best and more delicious I ever heard....
hew down, hew means to cut as with an axe or carve with a knife. Often used in thepassive voice hewn, as in "hand hewn furniture"
I am in love with his music but I cannot find any tutorial, book or similar which can help me to build a similar sound
Just chords description would be satisfying
The guitars tuned to DADGAD I’m pretty sure for a start, if that helps!
Very nice performance ! Phalaïna
That intro he plays before the first verse is so cool! Something about it really moves me. Does anyone know what tuning he is in? I can't quite tell.
***** It's a bit of a guess but DADGAD (low to high) is quite common for folky and Celtic-style music, could be that.
+Chase Murphy (ChaseMurphyMusic) CFCGCD (low to high) capoed 4 to bring it to the key of E.
That's a good shout from BornLonesome. John Doyle does use that tuning on a few songs I've tried to learn since posting.
He plays mostly in Drop D...
Oi oi!! Love this song.
His niece is one of my BFFs
+Matilda Bergström ask her about the tabs!
+svenlittlecross tell doyle its time to come clean ffs!
+Matilda Bergström Spelar hon lika bra? :)
Sergio Ribnikov Gunnarsson Hon spelar lite gitarr men jag tror John är bättre.
Det kan jag tänka mig eftersom han är bäst i världen typ. Men kult att höra att hon spelar gitarr med. ha det så bra Matilda :)
Id love to find the lyrics
Noice 💚

CFCGCd
manca solo il cavallo in salotto
Im a lefty too XD
This song is metal as fuck.
All good-looking men are even sexier with earrings. Why would Irishmen be an exception?
Are you real?
Da Shite.
?
Star of the County Down? But she has nut brown hair, so probably not...
I like everything about this fabulous Irishman--except his earring. Earrings don't belong on Irishmen.
