Usman, the official story is that
12
676391
2401
Usman, tak oficjalnie
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
nauczyłeś się grać na gitarze
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
oglądając Jimmiego Page'a na YouTube.
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: Tak, to było pierwsze.
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
Najpierw uczyłem się z tego,
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
a potem zabrałem się za inne rzeczy.
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
Zacząłem oglądać Kaki King,
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
a ona zawsze wymieniała Prestona Reeda jako jej wzór,
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
więc zacząłem oglądać jego nagrania.
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
Więc dziwnie się teraz czuję...
11:58

24
709395
1772
CA: Kawałek, który teraz zagrałeś,
12:07
that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?
25
711167
3190
to jedna z jego piosenek, której się nauczyłeś?
12:10
UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
UR: Nie uczyłem sie jej wcześniej,
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
ale Preston powiedział, że zagramy to na scenie.
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
Słyszałem ją już, więc fajnie było się jej uczyć.
12:18
And it finally happened, so ...
29
722861
2688
I w końcu się nauczyłem.
12:21
(Laughter)

12:22
CA: Preston, from your point of view,
31
727001
1452
CA: Preston, jak ty to widzisz?
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
Ty wymyśliłeś tą technikę, 20 lat temu?
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
A teraz widzisz, że ktoś taki pojawia się,
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165
4700
bierze twoje dzieło i robi z nim takie rzeczy.
12:33
Preston Reed: It's mind-blowing,
35
737865
2349
Preston Reed: To odlot.
12:36
and I feel really proud, really honored.
36
740214
3295
Czuję się dumny, naprawdę zaszczycony.
12:39
And he's a wonderful musician, so it's cool.
37
743509

On jest wspaniałym muzykiem, więc się cieszę.
12:44

39
751933

CA: Macie jakiś krótki kawałek, który jeszcze moglibyście zagrać?
12:53
Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?
40
757245
2432
Pogrywacie sobie wspólnie czasem?
12:55
PR: We haven't prepared anything.
41

12:58
CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.
42

CA: Nie mają nic. Ale wiecie co?
13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
Jeśli macie jeszcze 30-40 sekund,
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
Jeśli macie jeszcze 30-40 sekund,
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
Zobaczmy, co z tego wyjdzie.
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
Czuję, że wszyscy chcemy więcej.
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
47
776101

A jeśli będzie to katastrofa, to nic.

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.
