Fretkillr is a man who posted ~150 videos on youtube of him singing and playing guitar (and sometimes harmonics or banjo). All of his covers were better than the original song. He's an awesome talent, there are forums and blogs about him andhe has a full fan club. Although he never relevealed who is is apparently.
Today I was at my guitar teacher we were playing Norwegian Wood (Fretkillr's versoin) and my teacher said 'oh my God look at his right hand this picking is very familiar to me'
So he took a minute to think and yea he recognized who he is... and I can tell you that this guy is a fucking famous musician.
I hope you all know what I am talking about and heard at least one Fretkillr song. If not so here's what Im playing right at this moment :D



So I know his identity and I hold a secret what people would kill for. ^^

Never heard of him - mildly impressed by his song writitng skill but not totally blown away.

He reminds me of Chandlers dad in Scrubs, the dude who sings "Hey good looking... whatcha got cookin?" xD

i'm sure noone would kill for it...and it's not like everyone is exactly 100% unique in how they play, chances are it's not whoever you think it is.
but yea he's pretty good at it i guess, but i wouldnt say better than the originals.
