Usman, the official story is that
12
676391
2401
Usman, povestea oficială este că
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
ai învățat să cânți la chitară
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
urmărindu-l pe Jimmy Page pe Youtube.
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: Da, asta în primul rând, apoi -
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
asta am învăţat prima oară,
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
apoi am progresat către alte lucruri.
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
La început o urmăream des pe Kaki King,
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
iar ea mereu îl cita pe Preston Reed ca având o mare influență,
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
așa că am început să urmăresc videoclipurile lui,
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
și este foarte ireal ca acum să fiu -

CA: Was that piece just now,
24
709395
1772
CA: Această piesă de acum,
12:07
that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?
25
711167
3190
a fost una dintre melodiile sale pe care le-ai învățat, sau cum s-a întâmplat?
12:10
UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
UR: Nu am învățat-o înainte,
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
dar mi-a spus că o să o interpreteze pe scenă,
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
îmi era cunoscută, de aceea am avut parte de multă distracție învățând-o.
12:18
And it finally happened, so ...
29
722861
2688
Am reuşit într-un final, așa că ...
12:21
(Laughter)

(Râsete)
12:22
CA: Preston, from your point of view,
31
727001
1452
CA: Preston, din punctul tău de vedere,
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
tu ai inventat asta acum 20 de ani, nu?
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
Cum e să vezi pe unul ca el că apare
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165
4700
şi face atâtea cu arta ta?
12:33
Preston Reed: It's mind-blowing,
35
737865
2349
Preston Reed: Este uimitor,
12:36
and I feel really proud, really honored.
36
740214
3295
și mă simt foarte mândru, cu adevărat onorat.
12:39
And he's a wonderful musician, so it's cool.
37
743509

El este un muzician minunat , așa că este "cool".
12:44

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: Nu există, presupun, o altă piesă de un minut pe care voi să ne-o cântați?
12:53
Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?
40
757245
2432
Puteți? Puteți să improvizați? Aveți altceva?
12:55
PR: We haven't prepared anything.
41
759677

PR: Nu am mai pregătit nimic.
12:58
CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.
42

CA: Nu există. Îți spun eu ce.
13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
Dacă mai ai încă 30 sau 40 de secunde disponibile,
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
și tu mai ai încă alte 30 sau 40 de secunde,
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
și vedem asta, cred --
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
Simt asta. Mai vrem să auzim încă puțin.
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
47
776101
1912
Iar dacă iese groaznic, nici o grijă.

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.
