Fred Armisen Explains It All to You

Specifically, the history of punk-rock guitar strumming styles from 1970-2000.

That's dead-on, and very funny. I particularly like the bit about Sonic Youth.

That's hilarious and accurate. His Lou Reed voice was amazingly close.

Ha! Fred's good, but Fallon's insufferable. I like this comment under the Youtube video, "I'd love to see this bit again, but with Jimmy completely quiet".

He did this same bit on drums. The guy is a polymath.

Alzo that would be a fun watch.
Re; his Fallon appearance -
Lou Reed, he nailed it - Walking down the boulevard - too funny .
My favorites were his Ska ( a music I am fond of) and I cracked up with his Seattle style - Ugh or whatever the hell that sound was 🎸 thanks Steve
