Usman, the official story is that
12
676391
2401
Usman，官方的故事是
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792
1480
你通过 YouTube 上吉米·佩奇的表演视频
11:36
by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.
14
680272
1983
学会的吉他。
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: 是的，那是第一首。
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
那是我学的第一首，
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
然后我便开始学习其他的曲目。
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
然后我开始看很多 Kaki King 的表演，
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
她总说 Preston Reed 对她的影响很大，
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
然后我便开始看他的录像，
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21
699290
3244
所以我现在有在做梦的感觉 --
11:58

24
709395
1772
CA: 刚刚你弹奏的曲子，
12:07
that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?
25
711167
3190
是你之前学过的他的曲子中的一首吗？
12:10
UR: I'd never learned it before,
26
714357
1096
UR: 我之前不会弹这首曲子
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
但他告诉我我们将会在台上合奏，
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
由于我对这首曲子很熟悉，所以我很享受练习的过程。
12:18
And it finally happened, so ...
29
722861
2688
当这终于成为了现实时...
12:21
(Laughter)

12:22
CA: Preston, from your point of view,
31
727001
1452
CA: Preston，在你看来，
12:24
I mean, you invented this like 20 years ago, right?
32
728453
1864
你在20年前发明了这种（指弹吉他） 技法，对吧？
12:26
How does it feel to see someone like this
33
730317
2848
当你看到像他一样的人
12:29
come along taking your art and doing so much with it?
34
733165
4700
将你的技巧衍化出更多的艺术，你有什么感想？
12:33
Preston Reed: It's mind-blowing,
35
737865
2349
Preston Reed: 这让我很兴奋，
12:36
and I feel really proud, really honored.
36
740214
3295
我也觉得非常的自豪和荣幸。
12:39
And he's a wonderful musician, so it's cool.
37
743509

12:44
(Laughter)
38

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: 你们还有一分钟左右的曲子可以演奏吗？
12:53
Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?
40
757245
2432
可以吗？有其他的曲子吗？
12:55
PR: We haven't prepared anything.
41
759677

PR: 我们没有准备其他的。
12:58
CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.
42
762459

CA: 没有了吗。不然这样，
13:02
If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
43
766773
3561
如果你有多余的30到40秒，
13:06
and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,
44
770334
1423
而你的确有这多余的30到40秒，
13:07
and we just see that, I just think --
45
771757
1528
就我们刚刚看到的，我想 --
13:09
I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.
46
773285
2816
我觉得，大家想再听一些。
13:12
And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
47
776101
1912
大不用担心如果它走了调或者什么的。

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.
