On a semi-regular basis, Fret Killer posts videos of a very eclectic set of songs all played on his acoustic guitar. All the videos are done in the same manner: all you see is the guitar and his fingers literally killing the fret board. Here are a couple of favorites of mine:
Ain't She Sweet (as of this entry, his latest post)
You Don't Mess Around With Jim (Jim Croce song)
My Back Pages (Dylan Song)
It's a Sin to Tell a Lie (an old 1920's tune)
With that, I've listened to/ watched everything he's posted and they're all great.
Only 2 beefs with Fret Killer: 1. he remains entirely anonymous, as far as I know. I would pay to see this guy in concert. 2. He disallows embedding of his videos (thus the awkward linking above).
In any event, check out his stuff...it's worth the time.

Fret killer is most definitely not Jack Marti.
Jack is fair, not in the same league. Unless he purposefully puts out subpar videos under his name to seperate him from FretKillr.
