- "Bound for Botany Bay", performed by John Doyle (www.johndoylemusic.com) in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA on November 16, 2011.
John Doyle is renowned as one of the most talented guitarists performing in either the Irish or Appalachian traditions. As an accompanist, he adapts to and compliments the style of those he plays with, but his rhythmic and melodic contributions do much more than simply provide a background, creating complex, fascinating layers within the tunes without ever overshadowing the principal performer. Fans who have seen John Doyle perform as a band member or accompanist have also been treated to his solo guitar work, his wonderful, lyrical singing and, more recently, his dynamic fiddling.

Best guitar playing i have ever heard !!! beautiful voice also. Love yo hear you in person fr ed & ruth Fitzgerald PEI CANADA
i bet theres a one disheartened guitarist disliking all doye's posts
It's actually a guitar-bouzuki; "...guitar bouzoukis (aka guizoukis), one with eight strings (four double courses, tuned F C G C)..."
I can't link the article here, but there's a full interview with John Doyle at Acoustic Guitar-magazine.
Lovely John long time no see!
Is there a better left handed Celtic guitar player playing in DADGAD and living in the USA? I think not. Thanks for a great performance. Cheers.
Im thinking John uses GDAD (lowest pitch to highest) on this guitar-shaped Irish bouzouki; that versus the GDAE tuning used on a regular mandolin adn of course is an octave lower than a mandolin.
Yes i believe this one is played in CFCGCD. But I am not sure, as i'm pretty new to these celtic tunings. Any Idea?
He is not playing a guitar here. If you have a close look the head stock it has 8 tuning pegs and there are 4 double courses of strings. It could either be termed a guitar shaped Octave Mandola or a short scale guitar bodied bouzouki. Not sure about the tuning though, it could be GDAE or GDAD.
The best by far, but he plays in many tunings but mainly Drop D not DADGAD
