Usman, the official story is that

2401
Usman, oficiālais stāsts ir,
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
ka tu apguvi ģitārspēli,
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
skatoties Džimiju Peidžu YouTube.
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --

Usmans Rijazs:
Jā, viņš bija pirmais. Tad es...
Jā, viņš bija pirmais. Tad es...
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
Tas bija pirmais, ko apguvu,
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
un tad sāku attīstīties citās lietās.
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
Es daudz sāku skatīties Kaki Kingu,
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
un viņa vienmēr kā lielu savas
iedvesmas avotu minēja Prestonu Rīdu,
iedvesmas avotu minēja Prestonu Rīdu,
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
tā nu es sāku skatīties viņa video,
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
un pašlaik ir ļoti sirreāli atrasties...

K.A.: Dzirdētais skaņdarbs,
12:07
that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?
25
711167
3190
vai tā bija viena no viņa dziesmām,
ko iemācījies vai kā tas notika?
ko iemācījies vai kā tas notika?
12:10
UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
U.R.: Es to iepriekš nebija mācējis,
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
bet viņš pateica,
ka mēs to spēlēsim uz skatuves,
ka mēs to spēlēsim uz skatuves,
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
tāpēc es to apguvu,
tāpēc man arī to bija tik interesanti mācīties.
tāpēc man arī to bija tik interesanti mācīties.
12:18
And it finally happened, so ...

31
727001
1452
K.A.: Preston, no tava skata punkta,
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
Tu ko tādu izdomāji pirms 20 gadiem, vai ne?
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
Kāda ir sajūta, redzot uzrodamies kādu,
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165
4700
kurš paņem tavu mākslu
un sāk ar to viskaut ko darīt?
un sāk ar to viskaut ko darīt?
12:33
Preston Reed: It's mind-blowing,
35
737865
2349
Prestons Rīds: Tas ir prātam neaptverami,
12:36
and I feel really proud, really honored.
36
740214
3295
esmu patiesi lepns, patiesi pagodināts.
12:39
And he's a wonderful musician, so it's cool.
37
743509
5504
Viņš ir brīnišķīgs mūziķis,
tā kā viss kārtībā.

K.A.: Laikam jau nav vēl kāds minūti garš skaņdarbs,
ko jūs varētu uzspēlēt?
ko jūs varētu uzspēlēt?
12:53
Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?
40
757245
2432
Varat? Vai varat paspēlēt?
Vai jums ir vēl kaut kas?
Vai jums ir vēl kaut kas?
12:55
PR: We haven't prepared anything.
41
759677
2782
P.R.: Mēs neesam neko sagatavojuši.
12:58
CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.
42
762459
4314
K.A.: Nav. Ziniet, kā izdarīsim?
13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
Ja es jums dotu kādas 30, 40 sekundes
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
un jums vēl ir 30, 40 sekundes,
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
un tad gan jau redzēsim. Es tā domāju.
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
Es to jūtu. Mēs gribam dzirdēt vēl nedaudz.
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
47
776101

Un ja saies galīgā grīstē, viss kārtībā.

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.
