RUclips search Fretkillr to see more from this artist. I merely reposted his video because I liked it so much. Personally, I've heard the original so many times it was nice to hear another rendition. I also like how every note can be deciphered due to his camera placement. Also he has a great voice for most of his songs. LDT
I'm very glad to see there are no dislikes on this song.. well there is no reason to dislike it! unless you stumbled across this piece and recently had your ears removed!
For all them guitar players who want to try and play this incredible stuff too I figured this out: - fret's capo is obviously on the second fret - he plays in E, but with the capo the chords he uses are of course D, G, A - the low E string is tuned down to D - with the capo, it fits nicely because he can use it as an open string with the main D chord - the harp he plays so brilliantly is in A Try it out - it works my pleasure
Fretkillr hasn't posted for sometime. Maybe he has just hung up this avenue and has moved on. I sure do miss him though. He was a reason to use You tube. The sun does not seem as bright and the cold nights are colder. I needed a new cover to listen to........ but oh well!
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.
I have a friend that we used to pick & grin on the acoustic guitars all the time quite a few years ago ..that sounded like this with singin' & playin'..maybe it's him..lol
@Plikten Ive heard a few people say that too. Its a good find, but Fret having a slightly different voice, no big beard (in 1 or 2 of his vids you see a small portion of his chin), no thumb-pick (although I do agree that somebody that plays with one can easily play without, but hey, who will do that when you're used to playing with one?) and the fact that none of Fretkillrs guitars appear on one of Tom Besh' vids.
@superjet113 I have not removed one single comment from anyone. I posted this from Fretkillr a year ago, because I love this song and he did a great job at it. I have not hardly looked at the posts since.
@MrJamieMinor Thanx for info, that is UNBELIEVEABLE!! He is prolly one of the best musicians in human history. If it's about copyright half the vids on here are copys of somone else's work, it's totally unfair to single out one person for whatever reason.
@superjet113 ..... not to sure what comments you made that got deleted .... but if is anything like that the harmonica seems to be recorded seperately and hands used to get the effect then I am with you .I dont also diss the guy ... but have noticed many things with the various recordings . They are not always a "one off" performance but seem to be overlaid and edited tracks . Just one instance on tis one .... the lack of a hell of a lot of head movement . This is a hard song on the harp ! .
Fretkilr is doing many artists a favour by premoting their tunes.. It appears that some artists don't like to have their stuff sung by others whom are also very talented. He oibviously liked this tune enough to cover it on you tube. Great talent is just that.. Be proud if an amature can do your song justice.. Practice what our forefathers put their lives on the line for .. The right to freely express ourselves. Shame on those whom are responsible for having this person removed from this site.
A new low in youtube history!!!!! Today I find out that FRETKILLRS PAGE for whatever stupid reason has been taken down while all the guy has done was COVER other peoples stuff and never ever did he or could he have violated anything. The guy defined the way I play the guitar right now and is my number 1 reason for opening a youtube account. RUclips I want an explanation! !!!- An angry fretkillr fan.
people dont fight with youtube over the account deletion of Fretkillr....RUclips originally wanted to delete Justin Bieber's account,but made a mistake and deleted this awesome man's profile...they are just afraid to publish it xD
@MrJamieMinor Thanx for the info. I still can't believe they banned this guy. I have one song of his saved, Uncle Pen. It's not fair for RUclips to ban one person, and let another million do the same thing. I got banned from an unfair site once, I guess don't trust any of them.
Why do you keep taking my comments off? im just asking questions about the song and the harmonica. also praising fretkillr in another comment? i dont get it dude.
What is the point in posting a cover if its exactly the same as the original artist? For some reason i doubt he cares wether or not people learn his covers or not. These are not intended for educational purposes, rather they are posted for entertainment.
You tube is becoming a joke, someone else will step up soon, and youtube will be a memory. If you dont serve your customers, you lose. FretKillr rules!!!

Are you kidding me with this. Unbelievable.

@clintonearlwalker I know. I have about 50 songs of what remains from the legend, but that is all.
Wish I could buy a cd of you to play in my 18 wheeler
If someone has fretkillrs videos, please upload them somewhere and post info where, coz we need fretkillr badly

fretkillr learned chuck norris how to play the guitar, and was the first to score 10 stars on youtube
@Plikten + his picking hand position is different, and prefers to pick with 3 fingers and only 5 if he has to. Fret always has 5 fingers positioned.
who is this genius?
1:59 to 2:35 is all American GENIUS
er geht so ab wuhuuu :D

👍👍👍
zero baby....zerrrrrrroooooooo!!!!
The word is going around that fretkillrs real name is Thom Bresh.Look him up and decide for yourself,interesting.
fretkillr: "i'm pretty tired...i think i'll go home now."
Hi, can you tell me what sort of harmonica you use please ?
Very good song, thank
Fretkilr is doing many artists a favour by premoting their tunes..
It appears that some artists don't like to have their stuff sung by others whom are also very talented.
He oibviously liked this tune enough to cover it on you tube.
Great talent is just that..
Be proud if an amature can do your song justice..
Practice what our forefathers put their lives on the line for ..

@golyg I agree.

The guy defined the way I play the guitar right now and is my number 1 reason for opening a youtube account. RUclips I want an explanation! !!!- An angry fretkillr fan.
jesus... I hope that guitar was at least 18 years old.
Rusty Shackleford What you said.
@Whatever happened to Fretkillr? Where is he?
people dont fight with youtube over the account deletion of Fretkillr....RUclips originally wanted to delete Justin Bieber's account,but made a mistake and deleted this awesome man's profile...they are just afraid to publish it xD
Avesome song!!! What's the chord at 0:46 and forward?
He's back -- ruclips.net/user/fretkillrlives
Do you have anymore of Fretkillr's videos? RUclips has suspended his account.
Does anyone know why they banned this guy? Fuckin sick on all my favourite channels being unfairly dismissed.
@MrJamieMinor Thanx for the info. I still can't believe they banned this guy. I have one song of his saved, Uncle Pen. It's not fair for RUclips to ban one person, and let another million do the same thing. I got banned from an unfair site once, I guess don't trust any of them.
Whatever happened to Fretkillr? Where is he?
@s4drvr I'm not sure. I tried that, but it didn't sound right. The bass notes were on, but the rest didn't sound right.
What happend to Fretkillr??? Is his page gone?? Thank goodness I have uncle pen saved into my real player.
Dude, what happend to "king of the road"? Why remove such a great cover :/
Why would anyone beleive that someone who can sing and play like Fretkillr couldn't play a couple harp licks?
what the eff! Fretkillr's account got suspended!! why?
Anyone know why Frettkillr has been suspended?
@SliveDraver10 where is he? anybody know?
hope he's ok
Do you have tab for this ?
ZERO dislikes = priceless
stupid question, what key is that hammonica in
Why do you keep taking my comments off? im just asking questions about the song and the harmonica. also praising fretkillr in another comment? i dont get it dude.
Stupid good! Are you in drop D tuning?
what kind of guitar is that?
@clintonearlwalker His account was suspended.
bladeosilver: From seeing these videos, you should learn that you should make a song your own.
This guy is Greg Lake.
I thought the same ...
What tuning is this?
Who is Fretkillr? Debate rages on all his videos. Does he do session work?
Where is Fretkillr... say it isnt sooh.....
What is the point in posting a cover if its exactly the same as the original artist? For some reason i doubt he cares wether or not people learn his covers or not. These are not intended for educational purposes, rather they are posted for entertainment.
2:00 til 2:40 is true genius
You tube is becoming a joke, someone else will step up soon, and youtube will be a memory. If you dont serve your customers, you lose.
FretKillr rules!!!
f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c. are you a professional?
i did a lesson for this song. if your interested check it out. i haven't figured out the blues harp yet, but its on its way.
I think he uses normal tuning BUT the lower E is down to D!!
@2Heinz2 GIVE THEM TO ME! :''[
Fretkillr is Chuck Norris' Daddy!!
6 years ago!!
That is drop D tuning. :)
everyone who thinks they have talent should be forced to watch this
Okay, I won't give it a thumbs down. It IS good. But for me, it's just not Charlie!
