Bevelman...I agree. I love the guy's playing and his right-hand comping is very impressive. Buuuuuttttt....The Girl From Ipanema is meant to sway in a gentle, slow manner. His arrangement is impressive, but way too fast.
Obrigado Fretkllr!! |

Fretkiller and I must be about the same age because a lot of the stuff he plays, I play. However, when he does play something I don't know, I AM motivated to sit down and learn from him right off the computer. It's very cool and fast to learn this way! And yes, after a while, I find that I need to pull out my Martin D-35 dread to play many of the songs he does. Not all, of course. But, BOY, a dreadnought is a pretty darn versatile guitar for this kind of music. Regards, Glenn |

C'mon guys. Everyone knows he's really Elvis and he's just beaming into youtube from his home planet.

Cd
I was listening to a CD I burned of 20 of his songs last night and riding into work this morning. Really good eclectic mix of music.
Man, I wish I could play like that. The man has a great feel for the soul of so many different types of music.

Many is the time when you have brought me to a better place by your playing Rather than leave you a comment on the Youtube site, I thought I'd let you know here for all to see, Keep up the clean, pure, playing, fine vocals, and how about some more Jim Croce, or some more acoustic blues, Life by the Drop, or . . . You decide,
just keep on keeping on Frekillr, whomever, or whoever you may be, long may you play!!

He is a decent guitarist, but didn't blow me away. I thought his voice was a John Hiatt type of thing on one of the songs.

For me, I don't share his style, but if I did, I would want to do what he does exactly like him...voice included. Very expressive, nice percussive attack, and soulfully articulate. That voice is one I could sit in an intimate room and listen to for quite some time. |

Have you noticed he has several guitars?
I recognize the Taylor and one that looks like a Martin. There there is the one with no pick guard (or an invisible one)... And one that looks like an old Washburn or other turn of the century instrument... Name those guitars!!

He has a National Steel for his backdrop pic on his site. Looks like my old college roommates guitar.

Personally, I think Fret Killer is a musician that plays in some obscure, hole-in-the-wall bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. I'm sure he is getting a big laugh from this thread but, regardless, I'm a fan so please, keep 'um coming.

FretKillr Rules
You can download all of his videos using the "YouTube Downloader" (you can find it online) and then convert them to MP3's and IPod videos. I have about 50 of his tunes on my IPod already and listen in my car! Once converted, you can then burn CD's as well.
