Per rfreeman this is how they kicked off the big tribute to Pete Seeger:

By his playing and body language, I'd say rfreeman put in a good 45 minutes total of practice over the last few weeks in preparation. When you're that talented though, you can just wing it.

This is easily rfreeman's best performance. As awful as it is, it's short, up tempo and almost as competent as the worst performance at an open mic in a college town coffee house. I give it zero stars.

rfreeman shares some songwriting advice for noobs: "If you can sing a song you have all the musical skill you need to write a song. You can get others to arrange instrumental parts around what you sing. It is creating the words and melody that is writing the song. I play guitar and keyboards and know music theory. But about half the songs I write are started without an instrument in my hand - just singing, and not referencing my musical knowledge at all - I could not tell you the chords or key when I create the song- I work those out later. Sometimes I just sing it in my head if I am somewhere I cant sing out loud. I once wrote a song while sitting in a class - so I couldnt even sing, but I heard the melody in my head and wrote down the words." forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/for-songwriters-without-musical-training-how-did-they-write-songs.836324/page-5Fuck him. Seriously. He needs to shoot up the arm heroin and drink antifreeze mixed with the blood of Liberace.

I hate, hate, HATE that they always have those fucking music stands. Seriously, I get sometimes in a large setting it may be unavoidable but in a setting like this? I just saw Tony Bennett and not only did the band not have anything stands Bennett didn’t even have a tele prompter with the words and he’s 93. Fuck this guy, plus he looks like Michael Bolton from Office Space.

He must've seen Michael Bolton using a music stand...

That is some fucked up guitar playing throughout the whole thing.
Still, the cooing sound that comes from rfreemans throat is many times worse. How is it possible that someone could be so deeply in denial about his musical abilities?

You know what's the real puzzle? He keeps uploading these uber-cringey videos, which must mean someone he trusts is telling him, "yeah man, you rock! gimme more!"
So is that someone for real or just fucking with him for the comedy value of the vids?
I refuse to consider that more than one person is encouraging him.
And what about his band? Surely they can't ALL be tone deaf? Are they watching this stuff and going, "yeah, awesome!" Shit, when I watch vids of my band I'm hyper-critical. Even knowing that most of the clams I make go unnoticed by the punters.

The clerks at Guitar Center must jump for joy every time this bumbling fool walks through the door. The guy buys yet another expensive guitar (at full sticker price) for every VFW Hall/hospice lobby gig he pays to play. Isn’t that the same one dimensional piece of crap he always plays?
