  • Well, that´s good news.

  • yeah man.......

  • perfect!

  • Fretkillr said on his page that he's doing Doc Watson's version from the early 60's also here on youtube. Fret rules, but Doc is in a league all his own.

  • I've been trying to learn that 'Merle Travis' style pickin for a while now. It's drivin me nuts. I think that you need two brains. I can do the Bass and the melody...just not at the same time. Nice job dude. Cheers!

  • He plays with his heart and soul and that makes it so cool!!! Good job!

  • I really don't mind not being this good .

  • LOVE watching this dude play guitar!

  • why did fretkillr get unplugged from youtube he is probabaly the best i have heard

  • Thanks for posting..he was/is the best on youtube...

  • Ability, Waow,,

    

  • bearcat5100 thank you for keeping his videos alive. you are also a legend up with fret!

  • Anyone know  what Fretkillr used for a mic/s set-up recording/

    camera type, etc. for these? Thanks for posting! Dale

  • Rock on......Doc Watson would be proud.

  • Alright so Fretkillr's version of Norwegian wood and green-sleeves are no where to be found! and im pissed! He needs to come back to YouTube NOW.

  • @TheaterMnky They are on my site. and fretkillfan.....

  • I'm sure that RealJournal would take any of his stuff that he wanted to post

  • meeee too

  • it is a dam shame that they will pull the plug on a musician of this level. He is not infringing on copyrites unless he records and sells it. totally dishonorable of youtube to pull this kind of crap.

  • Ya know, I really don't see how they say he has copyrighted material. He is doing covers of songs, some from 30 years ago! A cover is not a copy. At least not the way FretKillr plays. He made each of the covers his own. In many cases, he is better than the original. Youtube really got it wrong by taking off his channel. The guy is great and should be commended. I knew once Google became involved with Youtube, it would get all jacked up. Hey Youtube, you really messed up! Bring him back

  • I have posted all the ones I know I have. I don't think I had downloaded that one, so I wouldn't have it on my backups. If someone out there some where has it I would be happy to post it. Fretkillr had posted over a 100 videos. I only wish I had kept all of them.

  • You wouldn't happen to have his version of "My Back Pages"? I was in the middle of learning it. Now I have a way to freeze it in my memory.

  • Hi, Thanks for uploading fretkillr. He was an inspiration to me and a lot of other folks. I only found him a couple of months ago. Luckily I did download some of his stuff. I got a few you had. Maybe youtube will relent. This was a great public service.

  • I cannot imagine what could have ever caused this site to cancel the best thing that ever happenned to it.... I mean....talk about slap your nose to spite your face.... Thanks for posting this video......it helps ease the pain....I feel like I lost a friend...

  • Yeah! Why? He was so awsome!

  • i was very disappointed when i realized that he was banned for some reason.

    i thought however that someone might had downloaded his videos and have upload them again.

    and i was very happy to listen to his deep river blues again!

  • Thanks for reposting his stuff!

  • unplugged from you tube, why is that? Great guy, incredible performer and entertainer. What the f...k???
