      It's actually not hard. When you've been jamming with each other for decades. And it's even easier when you all know what you're playing. If you've ever been in a band long enough you can just feel the music off each other. Whether it's a gift or not, as a drummer I can play with any random guitarist, jam out and keep the timing in sync. Most musicians should know what im talking about. That perfect time synchronization of improvised groove. Hell, I'd even add music is the closest thing we can get to actual real magic.

      This is the most pretentious sentence I have ever seen on youtube. Why do all of you people think you're art critics all of a sudden? When did this happen? I'm so sick of it. No one can just say that they like something anymore. They have to use faux-intellectual, pretentious, condescending language in a pathetic attempt to convey that they're smart or that they recognize talent when they see it. You are not special. You are an idiotic parrot, repeating what you have seen everyone else say for years. You are pathetic.

    Lindsey KILLLED that Big Love bit..check out Paul Simon's face when he's picking that out!! He's like "I can't believe he's pulling this off!!. As a bass player/guitar player I can tell you right now, that's no easy picking he's doing..that has to be one of the most difficult songs to play on guitar, period. Brilliant sketch.

    This is the only reoccurring sketch that I enjoy every time.

    I think we need just more of Jason and those dance moves of his....completely insane how good he is. Plus the fact that he always has a smile on his face when he's dancing, you know he's enjoying himself :D
