My guitar teacher for one Ed Wright. I always roll my eyes when people start dropping the "original" word when talking about music. Since most if not all music is either directly or indirectly taken from people's influences.
There are also the musicians that go out of there way to try to be original and end up just sounding bad. Music is supposed to be enjoyed not pulled apart and inspected. I enjoy fretkillr's covers. If fretkillr is the standard for "just OK" it would be interesting to find out where everyone else lies on this rating system. My guess is somewhere between terrible and horrid.
Good point. Playing to have fun is what it's all about. Fretkillr's style, and perhaps the genre as well, is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that regard. I'm on the dislike side with this particular critique. There are countless times I've enjoyed the music presented but this time isn't one of them.
I find it hard to believe so many rate him so poorly. When you consider his whole package, I think he is great. Toss in his harp work and he is a good as many professionals I have seen. Hmm, I find it strange that some people are denying this man's talent, but his fingerstyle playing is exceptional, why the hating?
How much better should he be, better than the original artists he covers? Most of the players on this board are pretty new at guitar and very open with it. Anyone who can rock out a fretboard and get some fingerpicking in the mix will be an inspiration to them. That's a natural, especially now with all the vids showing the complexities of movements.
It can be an awe inspiring thing that affects a person's ego, desires and inspirations, and can also make a person feel somewhat less than they want and hope to be as a player. Then there are quite a few here who have developed themselves through the usual hard work of practicing over the years.
They don't need to view the vids of other players. They can hear the playing and know what the player is doing. They can also pick up on the tunings and keys by ear. They don't need a tab or a score. If they like what they hear they can quickly copy the guy.
It becomes no big deal to do this routinely. It's not a matter of best or worst. It's a matter of experience, ear development and ultimately settling into the guitar as an extension of the persona. Egos give way to the simple, and most times modest, satisfaction of being able to create expressions through music after finally getting past the basic mechanics of learning the guitar itself.
It is these folks who might make a comment about such a player as fretkillr that, though true in their technical content, seems harsh to others. Let's not forget about subjectivity, either. It's noise to me as much as what I do might be to others but that's just the way of it. No need to feel compelled to throw daggers. You can post now and register later.

Biography Fretkillr no second 'e' is an acoustic guitar player who is a bit of a mystery. View version history. He plays guitar, ukulele and harmonica like a PRO, He has a great warm voice too.
If they just took the time to look at more of his videos they would have noticed that he tunes his voice very well and maybe they would have got a chance to see the mic and the wires and maybe his chin moving as he sings. This guy was and still is one of my obsessions, I used to listen to his music daily and sometimes for hours. So, One day I decided to take the time to do some good searching and deep digging until I figured out who fretkillr really is. I post my clips to provide enjoyment to anyone who loves to play or listen to the guitar.
My schedule makes it impossible for me to personally reply to messages or questions. Thanks for tuning in. My love of folk, blues, bluegrass, country, rock, ragtime, and jazz has been the catalyst for teaching myself to be a proficient flatpicker and fingerpicker. My youtube videos employ a close-up view of my performances to maintain anonymity. They are provided solely for entertainment.
My clips are not meant as guitar lessons. I do not use or have music or tabs. I hope you enjoy my clips and your positive comments are certainly appreciated. Everything was absolutely free just for enjoyment. Well, The reason behind his account suspension is still unknown. I hope youtube will just find a solution or something and enable his account back again. Let me know what you think of Fret Killer and his music?
