11:32
Usman, the official story is that
12
676391
2401
Usmane, tvůj oficiální příběh je,
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
že ses učil hrát na kytaru
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
sledováním Jimmyho Page na YouTube.
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: Ano, ten byl první. A pak jsem –
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
To byla první věc, kterou jsem se naučil;
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
a pak jsem pokročil k dalším věcem.
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
Začal jsem hodně sledovat Kaki King
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
a ta často zmiňovala Prestona Reeda jako svůj hodně velký vzor,
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
tak jsem začal sledovat jeho videa –
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
a je to velmi surrealistické tu teď být…
11:58
(Laughter)

CA: Was that piece just now,
24
709395
1772
CA: To co jste teď hráli,
12:07
that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?
25
711167
3190
to byla jedna z jeho skladeb, kterou ses naučil, nebo jak jste k tomu přišli?
12:10
UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
UR: Nikdy předtím jsem se to neučil,
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
prostě mi řekl, že na pódiu zahraje toto
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
a mně to bylo povědomé, takže byla zábava se to učit.
12:18
And it finally happened, so ...
29
722861
2688
A pak se to nakonec odehrálo…
12:21
(Laughter)
30
725549
1452
(Smích)
12:22
CA: Preston, from your point of view,
31
727001
1452
CA: Prestone, z tvého pohledu…
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
chci říct, tys tento způsob hry vynalezl před nějakými 20 lety, že?
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
Jaký to je pocit, když vidíš někoho,
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165
4700
jak si takhle přijde a dělá s tvým uměním podobné divy?
12:33
Preston Reed: It's mind-blowing,
35
737865
2349
Preston Reed: Je to strhující
12:36
and I feel really proud, really honored.
36
740214
3295
a jsem opravdu hrdý, poctěný.
12:39
And he's a wonderful musician, so it's cool.
37
743509

12:47
CA: I guess, I don't think there is like a one-minute other piece you guys can do?
39
751933
5312
CA: Co myslíte, nenašel by se tak minutový kousek, který byste mohli zahrát?
12:53
Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?
40
757245
2432
Můžete? Jamujete? Nebo máte ještě něco?
12:55
PR: We haven't prepared anything.
41
759677
2782
PR: Už jsme si nic nepřipravili.
12:58
CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.
42
762459

CA: To není potřeba. Víte co?
13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
Kdybyste měli tak 30 až 40 vteřin –
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
a jakože máte dalších 30 až 40 vteřin –
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
prostě uvidíme. Myslím…
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
Vím to. Chceme slyšet víc.
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
47

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Preston Reed - Revolutionary GuitaristPreston Reed’s hands have an otherworldly coordination. The fingers, nails, thumbs, and palms of both left and right dance, pluck, strum, and slap his guitar, which bursts with a full sound.
Why you should listen
Most guitarists the world over play their instruments in essentially the same way: the left hand holds the neck and applies pressure to each string to change notes, while the right hand plays the melody. Not so with Preston Reed.
In the 1980s, Reed began playing his instrument in new ways, sometimes twisting his left hand to pick out a melody while the right hand strummed accompaniment or tapping the guitar’s body like a drum. A new playing style was born, with deep chords, complex percussion, and weightless melodies. And he's inspired new generations of guitarists to further innovate on the genre he pioneered.
