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.

‘Up the fret’ 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 ‘up the fret’ (stressed) you are is quantifiable by placing a number between 1-24 after the phrase (fret 1 being almost completely relaxed)
Example 1: Dude... I’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! I’m easily at fret 20!

When a dude fucks a fat chick and never calls her back. She sits at home wondering when he will call her. It never happens. Ever.
Dude. I think I got a fretting elephant on my hands. She wont stop calling me.
Yeah dude. She needs to take the hint.
I won't ever call her back.
Yeah dude. She needs to take the hint.
I won't ever call her back.

when you play guitar, as you hold down the strings your finger tips become tough. when the tips of you fingers become numb and pretty much feelingless they are then known as Fret fingers.
"i've haven't been playing for long and i've already got fret fingers.

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?"

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)
