Usman, the official story is that
12
676391
2401
Usmane, službena je priča
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
da si naučio svirati gitaru
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
gledajući Jimmyja Pagea na YouTubeu.
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: Da, to je bilo prvo. A onda sam --
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
To je bila prva stvar koju sam naučio,
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
a onda sam počeo prelaziti na druge stvari.
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
Počeo sam dosta gledati Kaki King
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
i ona bi uvijek rekla da je
Preston Reed imao velik utjecaj na nju
Preston Reed imao velik utjecaj na nju
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
pa sam počeo gledati njegove snimke
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
i veoma je nestvarno sada biti --

UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
UR: Nisam je još nikad svirao,
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
ali rekao mi je da ćemo to svirati na pozornici,
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
a bila mi je već poznata
i zato mi je bilo i zabavnije naučiti je.
i zato mi je bilo i zabavnije naučiti je.

31
727001
1452
CA: Prestone, iz tvog gledišta,
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
mislim, počeo si s time prije 20-ak godina, zar ne?
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
Kako se osjećaš kad vidiš nekoga
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165

da preuzme tvoju umjetnost
i čini tako mnogo s njom?

Preston Reed: To je ludnica
12:36

36
740214

i stvarno sam ponosan, zbilja počašćen.
12:39

koji biste nam mogli izvesti?

13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
Ako imaš još 30 ili 40 sekundi
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
i ako ti imaš još 30 ili 40 sekundi,
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
i samo to vidimo, mislim da...
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
Osjećam to. Želimo čuti još malo.
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.

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.
