StoneMtn Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 This was sent to me by a guitar-playing lawyer I work with. I found a pretty decent Youtube clip, too:I’m passing on a recent discovery. There’s a guy on YouTube called Fretkiller who has posted about 90 videos so far. He remains anonymous and all you can see are his hands and guitar. He’s quite amazing. Go to any of his songs, although I particularly like the way he does stuff from the 20’ and 30’s, like “Ain’t She Sweetâ€. He fingerpicks, flatpicks, covers folk, country, jazz, rock, blues and any combination thereof. He also has one of the best voices out there, deep and soulful, taking ownership of whatever he’s playing. His anonymity is an added twist that’s driving his fans crazy (and they’re all fans – not a single detractor). Most believe he’s a pro who’s playing with us and his voice is definitely familiar. You can also click onto his name and end up on his YouTube “channelâ€, where all 89 videos (and counting) are posted. Check him out. Inspiring.

Blane Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 some good tunes. His version of FOTD is the first cover of it I've actually found interesting. Totally different take on it and real nice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebWVMV34mJg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
