he was suspended due to copy wright....it's brought on by a group of people that act on the behalf of all professional artists...of course it's just a legal rip off as with anything else..but when people are just starting out, they all sign an agreement to abide by this groups word...and this is what they do with the power they have. It's all money to them. A small Beer bar in Boise Idaho has to pay 400 bucks a year so I can play there, and I sound like shit next to fretkiller..it plain sucks!
Wow, that fella's excellent! His voice reminds me of Morris on Sling Blade, talking about "the thrill", loved that movie. Yes, Fret's talents far exceeds the original artists, probably got booted because of it too. Thanks for posting, love the Fretkillr!
it's just so great that some of his fans saved his videos - i had seen his videos years ago and randomly thought of them after i had totally forgotten about them..after searching for an hour now i found it. and i am just so at ease right now :)
@beachb0y1990 Same situation here - I was suddenly like, FRETKILLR - where you at? It speaks volumes that so many of his videos are up here - people really must've loved his music to download so many of them. How he was blocked for copyright infringement I simply cannot comprehend - simply he was doing versions of songs that were better than the originals, and they got jealous(!)
Bring back our professor fuc...g yutub mo..ns your site is full of shity justin bieber covers why you don't remain us???'cause A REAL GOOD MAN try to share and educate millions of musicians?this guy gives you millions of connections and was NOT PAY for that...forget it ???
The first Fretkillr song I saw a few years ago. After the vid stopped I just watched the screen for a minute... next day I had 50 songs of his on my mp3,, tried getting his way of picking down, and I think I've managed that quite a bit.. need to drink a bucketload of whiskey and age another 30 years before I can get that voice though.... that voice..
Fretkillr will always be the King of you tube as far as im concerned. A big thnx to all the guys who are posting His videos here, they are very special.
fretkillr: although i have been playing guitar for almost 50 years i feel now like i was born with 9 thumbs and a big toe lol I love yours picking and have enjoyed your posts many times each. I hope someday you will return to give us all many more hours of pleasure. Remember THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER
I KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS......IT'S TOM BRESH. I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT....JUST CANT TELL YOU WHY. LISTEN TO GO TO TOM BRESH'S WEBSITE AND LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC AND YOU'LL SEE. TOM IS THE SON OF MERLE TRAVIS AND ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS.
@sey681 I dont think its thom bresh, bresh always uses a thumb pick, but if this guy and bresh got together they would put Dan Tyminski and Ron Block to shame.
@sey681 I dont think its thom bresh, bresh always uses a thumb pick, but if this guy and bresh got together they would put Dan Tyminski and Ron Block to shame.
I wonder if we could request why his account was suspended from youtube by the Freedom of Information Act? Its such a shame that noone know why it was pulled. I really wish Fretkillr was still around....to hell with youtube!
he sounds just like Jiminy Cricket! Best version ive ever heard pls make some tab books and sell em I would gladly buy one =P!OH nvm didnt notice your not him but thanks for the vid hehe
Losing Fretkillr is like when Forrest Gump stopped running. It's like... now what in the hell do I do? He ispired me to play and sing better and more often. Thanks bearcat5100 for all your work to keep him alive.
@glooryboy69 I don't know why they banned him and I don't know of anyone that does. I guess he has been gone for about 1 or 2 months. One person that uploaded some of frets vids said he is going to come back, I don't know if it is true or not. I know one girl that has been banned at least twice. She's back on now. I got banned from a game site. These sites can ban u at anytime for any reason.
@glooryboy69 Fretkillr is very good. There are many great musicians on this channel, it doesn't seem very fair to me to ban one, and leave the others alone. I only have one of fretkillrs songs saved, Uncle Pen, I like it so much I may upload it to a free storage site called A Drive, and I may burn it to a DVD disc and hide it somewhere. No one is going to take that one from me.
I don't know why fretkillr was banned, I've been a big fan of his for a good while. I only have one of his vids saved. :( Ain't nobody going to take away his version of Uncle Pen. If anyone is interested, there is another great guitarist that post vids on youtube. His username is "troubleclef" he does a great When I'm 64 and a Queen song I can't remember the name. I warned him about fretkillr getting banned. He said he'd watch out.
I am seriously bummed about Fretkillr. This is incredibly beautiful. It pains me to think that phenomenal talent like this can not have an outlet on YT. bearcat5100 if you have contact with Fretkillr I hope you'll encourage him to keep recording and that he will allow you to post new songs. Thanks for keeping the memory alive.
There can't be any good reason why he is suspended. He's just covering other peoples songs and as far as I know he is not being paid. Isn't that what youtube is? I see actual concert footage recorded and posted here which is far more of an infraction than this could possibly be. There's gotta be more to this story.
Fretkillr was my IDOL. I'm pissed that he's been taken off! Thank you for posting the videos that so many of us LOVE!!! Keep them coming! Thank you, thank you!
Fretkiller cannot be removed. These great repostings are proof that good people simply won't let it happen! Though I do miss reading his very informative notes.
Thank God someone saved this mans you tube videos, if it wasnt for the stupid copyright laws grr... how can fretkilr exactly profit from covers on a VIDEO STREAMING website?! Idiots for bannign his account and im glad to see his music lives on.
Do you have his King of the road cover? that was always my favourite :)
@DoomsdayDevice9mm....I hear ya doomsday. Over three years off and on building on my fretkillr playlist. King of the Road was always one of my favs too!!
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.
I had the pleasure of seeing Eric Roche play before he died,being a "guitar play phenomenon" and first and foremost a genius composer he said that somewhere over the rainbow was the single best piece of music ever penned..Ive since listened to every version I can and I am positive that this man has given us the most beautifull rendition of the most beautifull piece of music ever written.
Well, there seems to be least 50 of his songs on bittorrent. Just the audio but still! (disclaimer for the assholes who pulled down fretkillrs channel: I didnt download it myself of course. And I would never advise someone to do anything illegal. the url is just some background information to the people here).
This has class and you can listen to it like you can listen to Tommy Emmanuel ´s or even Eva Cassidy´s version. It´s a shame Fretkillr was suspended from you tube.
nice, but where is your cover of "Country Roads" ... tahts the best cover i ever heard but now it´s away... can you tell me where it is or can you uplode it ?
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
went for a fretkillr pick-me-up this morning and saw that his account had been suspended, didnt wanna believe it and tried again and found your channel. thanks for posting these tunes.
If you mean tabliture sheet music....I don't know where fretkillr gets his. I do wish he wood post some. Please go to his youtube home page he has over 100 posts of songs.
@bearcat5100 Fretkillr plays by ear. He has no such things as tabs or other sheet music. So if you want to play songs like him, you also have to play by ear. ^^
@Lawman2210 Yeah he plays so well to be self-taught . If someone was to write some TABs on some of his songs I would be happy to posts them with the songs. I only wish I had the talent to do it.
@bearcat5100 id like to tab them out, this isnt my username tho, its "briansmokes". ive bee learning them by ear for a few weeks now...shouldnt be too difficult
You are the best I ever heard, just awesome. Tony

Každý z nás by rád věděl, kdo to je.
Fretkillr bylo odebráno službou YouTube za to, co si myslíme, že se kopie práv.
Kvůli tomu jsme se možná nikdy nedozvíme, kdo to je.
