Fret One

Fret one is a term coined by Saskatoon band Stallions in reference to the way a guitar is played during an extra heavy section of music. In order to produce a more dissonant sound, the guitarist plays chugs while holding the low E string down on the first fret. In order for it to sound correct the low E string must be drop-tuned to a D.
Examples of bands that have fret ones: Stallions, Blind Witness, Strangers and A Textbook Tragedy.

"Fuuuuck, that fret one made the breakdown balls heavy."

"If Slipknot played on fret one they'd be the perfect band."

Up the fret

โ€˜Up the fretโ€™ is used in place of words like stressed, annoyed or anxious. It originated in Melbourne Australia and is a reference to the fret board of a guitar as well as the word fretful. How โ€˜up the fretโ€™ (stressed) you are is quantifiable by placing a number between 1-24 after the phrase (fret 1 being almost completely relaxed)

Example 1: Dude... Iโ€™m so up the fret right now. That guy just pissed in my living room.

Example 2: AHHHH!!! I just missed my flight by like 2 minutes! Iโ€™m easily at fret 20!

fret-gloating

Fretting over a perfect decision that will remove one from an already perfect present. Tends to elicit unfettered gloating once the decision is determined to have been the right choice. Fret-gloating typically appears in social media status posts. Although disguised as fretting, fret-gloating is a double down on bragging.

Allison is fret-gloating in her social media posts again. "Our yearlong vacation to Paris is rapidly approaching just while my garden is looking incredible! Wondering if we're making the right decision?"

fret wanking

2. when a guitarist plays an excessivly virtuoso solo which dominates (and often ruins) the song, or at least a hefty proportion of it.

Either derives from the same thing as the previous definition, or from the fact that the guitarist in question is playing their solo so vehemently that they seem to be in love with themselves, and so are receiving (metaphorical) sexual pleasure from playing it (as one does when wanking)

Same as other definition
