MattG enthusiast Registered: 11/27/09 Posts: 212 Loc: Nashville, TN	Ok all you acoustic guitar nuts. If you haven't heard of Doyle Dykes, it is time you looked him up. They usually tape the master classes at NAMM. As soon as they post the class I will get a link up.

He is like Eric Johnson, Chet Atkins, and Leo Kotkee in one package. http://www.doyledykes.com/ There isn't any real flashy stuff up on the site but you can hear some of his pretty stuff. I will surely figure out how to get something up.

And Shack should do a Victor Wooten interview too now that he ice has been broken. _________________________ Dave Molter, MGR Managing Editor/Bass Guitars Editor ----------------------- "Bass is the foundation of the band." -- William Murderface, Dethklok bassist ----------------------- Lakland 55-94; Hofner Icon; Kala U-Bass acoustic & solidbody; Stagg EUB; Genz-Genz Shuttle 6.0; Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110

Apparently he only lives a few hours south of Nashville - Matt really should interview him! And Dave, I just heard about James onstage encounter with Vic. That is hilarious and awesome! I was too busy upstairs listening to Johnathon Cane's (Journey) daughter play were her band of 15 year-olds!

Seymour had a pic of us taken together. Still waiting for him to post it on his Facebook page. _________________________ Dave Molter, MGR Managing Editor/Bass Guitars Editor ----------------------- "Bass is the foundation of the band." -- William Murderface, Dethklok bassist ----------------------- Lakland 55-94; Hofner Icon; Kala U-Bass acoustic & solidbody; Stagg EUB; Genz-Genz Shuttle 6.0; Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110

MattG enthusiast Registered: 11/27/09 Posts: 212 Loc: Nashville, TN	That's right. Seymour Duncan. I missed him in all the hollabaloo. I am working on trying to get an interview with Doyle. His website gives you the option of using post (like in the old days when they sent pigeons) to contact him. Here it goes.

Dave Molter addict Registered: 11/25/09 Posts: 691 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Seymour's kinda easy to spot, but James i more low profile. He usually dresses all in black and wears some kind of cap with flames on it. Doyle, Seymour and James and probably a whole lot more great players were all in town for a benefit show on Saturday. _________________________ Dave Molter, MGR Managing Editor/Bass Guitars Editor ----------------------- "Bass is the foundation of the band." -- William Murderface, Dethklok bassist ----------------------- Lakland 55-94; Hofner Icon; Kala U-Bass acoustic & solidbody; Stagg EUB; Genz-Genz Shuttle 6.0; Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110

ShackMan addict Registered: 03/14/09 Posts: 561 Loc: Pittsburgh Area	I actually tried to contact Victor for an interview, but he's really busy touring and recording right now, so he said he probably won't be able to do anything until later this year. He did, however, compliment me on the essay and thank me for sharing it. _________________________ Music Gear Review - Keyboard/MIDI and Songwriting Editor/Mod "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." - Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Physics Keys: Nord Stage 88, Nord Lead 2, Yamaha W7 Upton Bass Custom Upright, BSX Allegro EUB, '80s Peavey T-40, MIM Active Jazz Bass, Godin BG-5, Fender Bassman 100, `68 Fender Bassman 50 head, Gallien-Krueger Fusion 550, SWR (pre-Fender) Goliath III 4x10, Markbass 2x10 Traveler
