Acoustic Blues Jam In E With Flatpick Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 124 seconds This was improvised off the top of my head and it's a bit loose but I posted it anyway. You get to watch straight down the neck as I pick away. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, blues, flatpicking, guitar, jam, parlor |

Norwegian Wood Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 131 seconds Here's my version of one of the Beatles classic songs. I stayed for two months in Bodo and Stavanger, Norway and this tune got me in a lot of doors. When the lovely ladies requested Norwegian Wood they said they didn't mean this song. Do you know what kind of cars they drive in Norway? Fjords! Enjoy. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, flatpicking, guitar, norwegian, sing, song, wood |

Mr. Tambourine Man Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 305 seconds Everyone has their favorite version of this Dylan classic. I've based my clip on Bob's solo performance at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival. I, like Bob, omit the third verse and, unlike Bob, I botched a word in the last verse which should be "crazy sorrow" instead of "constant sorrow". Dang! That changes the whole meaning of the song. Enjoy. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, dylan, guitar, sing, song, tambourine |

My Back Pages Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 143 seconds This is my treatment of Dylan's "My Back Pages" played on the 12-string. I have to brush up on the words. - Fretkiller Related: 12, acoustic, folk, guitar, sing, song, string |

Let It Snow Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 90 seconds I dust off these holiday songs once a year to help celebrate the season. I decided to play "Let It Snow" with a "bossa nova-ish" beat. It's a short and concise version without solos. The sweater is an heirloom Norwegian hand-knit. No, I'm not Norwegian. I just lived there for a few months in Bodo and Stavanger. Friendly people and a beautiful country. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, christmas, guitar, holiday, it, let, sing, snow, song |

The Lakes Of Pontchartrain Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 329 seconds An requited love song about a down and out immigrant who is befriended by a Creole girl he meets en route to Lake Pontchartrain. A folk musicologist told me this song has been around since the early 1900's. The version I play was inspired by Paul Brady's (Ireland) recording. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, flatpicking, guitar, pontchartrain, sing, song |

Galveston Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 139 seconds This is a Jimmy Webb song that Glen Campbell had a huge hit with. It charted #4 in 1969. The powerful lyrics capture a soldier's thoughts while he's in the heat of battle, in fear of his life, and thinking back to a better time and place. A superbly written pop song that deserves a listen. Enjoy - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, galveston, guitar, sing, song |

Fire Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 158 seconds It's not a good idea and probably illegal to scream "fire" in a crowded public space but it's perfectly acceptable to sing it. I'm playing a guitar that Springsteen fans will recognize and I've fittingly dubbed as "The Bruce-inator". "The Boss" has a boatload of songs that blow this one out of the water but I just couldn't help myself. Enjoy. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, boss, fire, guitar, sing, song |

Friend Of The Devil Posted by: Fretkillr
Video duration: 201 seconds Rather than post another version of FOTD in the original key and groove, I worked up this version yesterday, slept on it, and voila! Shame on me for not wearing tie-dye. Enjoy. - Fret Killer Related: acoustic, dead, devil, flatpicking, friend, guitar, harmonica, sing, song |
