This man is the perfect example of "your either have IT or you don`t"...out of the thousands of people who play and sing in the internet, not even showing his face, not knowing anything about him as a person, I was just drawn to him from the first time I listened years ago....Im sure a lot feel the exact same,...

16 years later..Sir you are a living KZfaq legend 😎 5 stars

I spent many years living in London, and used to think of this song often as I'd drift through town. I've always found it beautiful and melancholy. Tony Rice's version has long been my favourite since his voice was still in good shape, and imbued the tune with that hopefulness he had. It's a real treat to hear your version in 2023, and I hope you realise how much your music impacts strangers clear across the globe. Anonymity and soulfulness are not mutually exclusive!

I am a comment reader especially on the videos placed by KZfaqrs I enjoy. This man, this guitar, this voice is at the top of my list of enjoyable videos. Thank you , FK for the always beautiful music and thank you , the followers who give such wonderful words of praise for this entertainer.

I started watching your first channel when my 16-year-old firstborn was an infant. I used to sing her and her brothers to sleep with songs that you introduced me to, like John Prine's Paradise, Don Henry's Into A Mall, and more recently this Ralph McTell number. Just wanted to say thanks for all the memories. Glad to see you're still at it. 🙏🫡

Oh my goodness - this is perfection. I have heard so many versions of this song - none quite as poignant as this one. It's in the modulation, the phrasing - the gentle heartbreak of the song shines. Thank you.

Welcome back …can’t fail with this one..

One of my favourite songs covered by my favourite Musician . What a treat !

Great storytelling, as usual. The most captivating entertainers have the ability to make the listener believe that they're singing from personal experience, and Fretkillr has that ability. I struggle with it, especially when reading the lyrics while playing, as that's pretty much what it sounds like. If I can get into character like a method actor, then the results are better, but it doesn't come naturally.

I'm so glad you didn't stay away. Always loved your awesome voice.

I remember a decade ago when I first came across your original set of videos. Your guitar playing is exceptional….but it’s the voice, the delivery…the phrasing …that’s the magic. Thank you for sharing your gift. Hope to hear more of it for years to come.

I’m incredibly glad I found you today! Your playing skills would be enough to come see you in concert for sure, but so would your vocals! You’re truly an inspiration! Thanks! I would buy albums if I knew who you were.

Great singing and picking.!!!!!👍👍👍👍love this song; thanks for sharing!!!!! Be well, Dave 😎

Yes sir,love this tune!

Thank You.

Fretkillr loves those songs covered by the great Glen Campbell. And why not? Glen was not just a great player with an incredible voice; he had emotional IQ that attracted him to songs with a spiritual core. Wonderful job with this one, which resonates as much or more than ever.

The best thing about fretkillrlives videos.... is that you can hit the Like button before he even starts playing.

Beautiful. I used to play this old Ralph number on my guitar many years ago, but never as sweetly as this.

I'm so thrilled to see that Fretkillr lives on. What a gift.

Great performance 😎 Very similar to don't think twice it's alright

This is class.

Nice to see a true gunslinger that works hard but makes it look so effortless. Much appreciated killer!

I think it’s time to show the world your face fretkillr….we all want to see who this wonderful musician is ?..!,..thank you !!

Thank you

Excellent as always!

Found this man on KZfaq years ago and I must have played his take on Greensleeves a million times (wish it was twice as long!). Always a favorite. So glad he is back!

I hope someday i can listen him playing in the pub with good beer in my hand in the street of london

Always the best feel!! Thank you Sir

Outstanding. That song is one of my favorites, and you nailed it. Thanks.

Class as always!!!!!

One of the song I like the most, thank you for a such great rendition.

Absolutely OUTSTANDING Sir ... BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful song thanks for sharing 👏👏👏☘🍻

Sweet. Very pleasant . Well done. Thanks..listening over and over..!

That is a real pretty tune. Nicely delivered. Thanks!

There's a man staying with us at the moment. While he was cooking I put on the latest FK song above. After a moment I turned, noticed he stopped cooking, and he stood there with his eyes closed...listening. After the song, he asked, "Who the hell was that?" So I told him a little story about Fretkillr, how I discovered him about 15 years ago, how he helped change the way I try to play guitar, and introduce me to new music. A new "appreciator" of the man has been added to the flock. Thanks as always, Cheers.

Really lovely! SIr, you sound so much like Hoyt Axton...

Brilliant - i don't understand why you're not a well known popular artist, brilliant. x

So beautifully done 👍

Nailed it mate

Amazing!!

wow love your playing and your perfect voice

Freti. Awesome as always. You bring all the songs, with the same quality, all the years. Everybody loves and enjoyes this continuity and old kind of quality. That same voice mic hanging down as all of your classic tunes. The old beloved, I guess Taylor. Man, your a/my hero. Sad that u keep forever a mystery to us all. As this is only read by "your friend who's doing the posting", give Fret a hug for us all 😉

Well done fretkllr!

Very nice tune with a great voice!... 👏👍🌈

Hello, very cool song to listen, thanks, Fab

What a treat!

Fretkillr my man, you absolutely nailed it. When you perform it’s like lightning in a bottle. This song has been a personal favourite of mine since I was very small and you played it beautifully. It’s such an emotional song and you captured it perfectly. Until your next video!

Love it

Excellent as always. Thank you killr 🔥

👌 in many years inspiration 4 singerpicker & finger 🙃 also 'ur electric is very well 👍

Impressive rendition. Both the singing and guitar playing are excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, just wow. Superb. Sounds just like Fretkillr of old. Great playing and great vocals. Thanks so much for sharing!

Merci. 😘 from France

Great take. I don't suppose you do requests but I'd love to hear The Dutchman written by Michael Peter Smith

FK... this is one of your finest! And the post production job is great too. Just the right amount of reverb. Can I ask what microphone(s) you used?

I stopped singing and playing for many years and discovering Frett he inspired me to get back into it and now I get millions of views on tiktok and KZfaq. Thank you brother 🙏

Absolutely beautiful FK. I have been a fan for 15 years or so. Like you I both fingerpick and flat-pick. Over the years of carefully watching your videos I have copied a lot of your techniques to improve/ advance my own playing skills. I look forward to new postings. I know by the pick guard that you have been playing that Taylor for a long time. It looks like a 310 or 410. One of mine is. 310. I’m just curious as to your string brand and gauge preference if you don’t mind sharing 4:27

Great rendition

Always loved you sound and playing ofcourse. You are a big inspiration to me! What microphone do you use to get that crystal clear sound? All the best! -Peter from denmark

I like your version better than mctell's. Ty was easy to learn by watching you

😊

I hate you. lol. good job!!!

Can uou tell us about the guitar?
