Here's who I thought it was:

It's best if you don't talk about him

Keyser Soze or John Galt - I vote for John Galt...

My theory is this fellow, who is VERY talented, enjoys the notoriety of being anonymous; a kinda reverse psychology thing. He gets all the attention he needs by being "mystery man." To me? Silly. A waste of energy. Does he REALLY think by stating his autobio-stuff it's gonna ruin his life. PUHLEEZE. It is wearisome. Really....

Flaming commenced - you think is is dumb and silly to be anonymous, but you use "Folkstrum"?

"A waste of enerygy..." We are the ones wasting energy talking about it, but it is interesting so why be negative?

I sure wish the guy would let himself be known. He's just so perfectly entertaining that I would love to sit at his feet and learn from someone like that.

taylor should send him a really nice guitar. he gets a lot of sound out of a 110, and they get a ton of free advertising..

win/win

Fretkiller is Al Gore...He invented the Internet so he could play guitar.

I use to listen to a guy on u tube called ( Fringezipp ) and he had some awesome songs on there. I emailed him about one of his songs and he replied with an email signed Fret Killer. I remember because i thought it was a unique name ( fret killer )...anyways he still has one song on there and it sounds like him ( his voice ) and again no face pic so i ain't %100 sure but then again who is !!

There is a commercially available CD (Amazon, etc.) with several pages of liner notes. A few pages in, the artist comments on an idea that was once tossed around about creating a touring persona with the name Fret Killer.

This along with a couple of other clues/online suppositions solidify, for me at least, the identity of YouTube's FretKillr. I'm not really interested in engraving it into the permanent record of the wild wooly web. FK quite obviously wasn't interested in disclosing his identity. If you're THAT obsessed to know, PM me.
