11:32
Usman, the official story is that
12
676391
2401
Usman, oficiálna verzia je taká,
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
že si sa vraj naučil hrať na gitare tak,
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
že si sledoval Jimmyho Pagea na YouTube.
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: Áno, to bolo ako prvé. A potom --
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
Bola to prvá vec, ktorú som sa naučil,
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
a potom som sa začal zdokonaľovať pri iných veciach.
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
Začal som dosť sledovať Kaki King,
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
ktorá vždy spomínala Prestona Reeda, aký mal na ňu veľký vplyv,
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
takže potom som začal sledovať jeho videá,
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
a momentálne je veľmi surreálne byť tu a --
11:58
(Laughter)
22

(Smiech)
12:00

23

12:05
CA: Was that piece just now,
24
709395
1772
CA: To, čo ste teraz hrali,
12:07
that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?
25
711167
3190
bola to jedna z pesničiek, ktoré si sa naučil, alebo ako to bolo?
12:10
UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
UR: Nikdy predtým som sa to neučil,
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
ale povedal mi, že to budeme hrať na pódiu,
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
takže keď som to vedel, oveľa viac ma bavilo učiť sa to.
12:18
And it finally happened, so ...
29
722861
2688
A nakoniec sa tak stalo, takže ...
12:21
(Laughter)
30
725549
1452
(Smiech)
12:22
CA: Preston, from your point of view,
31
727001
1452
CA: Preston, z tvojho uhla pohľadu,
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
ty si toto pred 20 rokmi vynašiel, však?
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
Aké to je vidieť niekoho takéhoto,
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165
4700
kto sa chopí tvojho remesla a dokáže s ním tak veľa?
12:33
Preston Reed: It's mind-blowing,
35
737865
2349
Preston Reed: Je to neuveriteľné
12:36
and I feel really proud, really honored.
36
740214
3295
a som veľmi poctený a hrdý.
12:39
And he's a wonderful musician, so it's cool.
37
743509
5504
Je to úžasný hudobník, takže je to super.
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: Myslíte, že by sa našlo niečo jednominútové, čo by ste mohli ešte zahrať?
12:53
Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?
40
757245
2432
Môžete? Džemujete? Máte ešte niečo?
12:55
PR: We haven't prepared anything.
41
759677

PR: Nič sme si nepripravili.
12:58
CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.
42
762459

CA: Tak nič. Poviem vám, čo urobíme.
13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
Ak by si ty mal ďalších 30 alebo 40 sekúnd,
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
aj ty by si mal ďalších 30 alebo 40 sekúnd,
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
a uvidíme - proste si myslím --
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
Cítim to. Chceme počuť ešte trochu viac.
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
47
776101

A ak to bude strašne zlé, nemajte obavy.

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.
