      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.

    I love how Paul Simons starting really getting into Lindsey guitar playing... 5:53 you can tell he has total respect for Lindsey's talent

    This skit should just replace SNL altogether.

    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.

    You had me at Paul Simon but then they masterfully place Lindsey Buckingham!!! One of my all time favorite SNL skits. What a wonderfully crazy mix of everything, the back up singers, guests, Jason S.. So funny.

    I don't think this audience understood that was the actual, real Lindsey Buckingham.

      I figured it was him just by his guitar playing but it doesnt help he has a very unusual look.
