Jesus Christ. I discovered Armisen exactly 16 minutes ago on a reel from The Jimmy Fallon Show, and I immediately YouTubed him to watch the whole gag about strumming styles, and I'm in love! And I am born and living in Italy and HE FU...N' NAILED US! Could totally fool me as Gianluca Grignani or Vasco Rossi or Ligabue. This guy's is a genius, kinda like Bo Burnham or Tim Minchin

With italian he says "Tutto bene, cuanto faggioli chi sono nel bichierre" which means sth like "all is good, how much beans is there in a glass" gave me a chuckle lol

Dude has talent. Can't get enough of Mr Armisen.

[HoonAgain]

Armisen is a genius and I love everything he creates. Thanks Fred.

1:29 finding notes you can hit, but can sound soulful crafting a fake struggle adds a nice flair.

[AllenKnutson]

So much more pleasant without the constant Fallon interruption.

Australian one was spot on, see Midnight Oil.

2:40 Don’t go to the ambulance. Hahahaha

[lcglazer]

1:14 that is exactly how most normal Americans play, ESPECIALLY in the Christian circle. People make this strum work on EVERY song. Can't tell you how tired I am of this strum.

I can never forget his playing, NOR his name now. Here in Germany, "armeisen" means ants. Fred Ants! :-D Look out Adam!

[mattwatson]

Did not expect the norwegian «fløy en liten blåfugl» 😂

[danielmartins]

Although "você tem a minha mão" makes no sense in portuguese, his pronounce was very accurate.

[RockAndDoubleBassWithAaronJoy]

3:54 minutes of no jokes is truly something.
