THAT WAS MOST LIKELY THAT BEST THING I SEEN ALL DAY...THE ONLY PART I DIDNT LIKE WAS WEN THA SONG ENDED LOL....GEWD JOB BROTHER....KEEP ON JAMMIN FOR JESUS...
Hey, I don't know if y'all are interested or not, but you can download 50 of Fret's songs (covers) from torrent sites. I'm not going to post any names of these sites (due to spamming, which I am not) but I am a big fan of this guy and would like to see his songs live on. So, if you love Fret as much as I do, go download them.
My Friend! I watched this video months ago. I still reference it to find that feel good feeling from time to time or to just show you off to my Nashville buddies here at home! :) Brother, thanks for sharing your music!
I love to watch you play--what you see is what you get-pure genious--there's a storey behind you --maybe like my own--an x lead guitarist slightly mad etc--came to know jesus and now I'm an acoustic /singersongwriter--thats my storey--Are you on myspace--anyway great stuff-I love to hear real people play WELL DONE!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm certainly not worthy of being refered to as a genious, to put it quite bluntly I'm very uneducated in music theory and I've had to learn what I do know the hard way (by trial and multiple errors) As far as being slightly mad I qualify. So many christian musicians with good intent sing their songs to the damned, I prefer to sing with the damned because I know that I am one of them and by Gods grace I'm forgiven, God Bless!
Thank's so much. I worked up this arrangement to play at a nursing home a couple of years ago and it was really neat to see the old folks embrace an up tempo weird version like this. My hope is that when my time comes to be in that nursing home maybe someone will fire me up with a song about Heaven. Thanks again!!
By the way...what guitar are you playing on? I don't think it matter much though. You could play like that on a 1925 Kay guitar with a 12 inch busted hole in the back and probably make it sound good. Great job! Post more videos! I am a sincere fan.
Thanks for the compliment, It's a 1986 Martin Shenandoah D-28. I bought it new for $600. It was actually assembled in Japan (That's why it was so cheap)
That was pretty doggone awesome..I'd have to say..Wow. I love that song no matter how it is played. Chet and Duane were right, the best pickers are on some back porch somewhere..
Thanks man! I must tell you though I'm very uneducated when it comes to guitar. I really don't do scales and I don't know the names of most chords I play beyond first position. I learn ed it all the hard way ( by ear). Your encouragement means a lot - I've always been intimidated by really well trained players
I learned the same way..as did fretkillr and also planetalk, and most others..Duane Allman, etc. Often people ask me for tabs..I can't read or write tabs..I basically know a 'pentatonic' scale I learned somehow. I actually bought a CCR
songbook for 3.95 when I was 14, and that gave me a start. Then trial and mostly error.
Thanks for the reply and nice video! You should check out a guitarist named Preston Reed he really has a unique percussive guitar style. My very first attempt at fingerpicking was a Rev. Gary song - He was one of the very first to incorporate fingerstyle guitar into the church. When asked why he played a Gibson he replied - because they hold up the best in the rain. How can you not like that. Keep on pick'n!!!
Nice pickin there man!
