Usman 我聽說你
11:34
you learned to play the guitar
13
678792

是在Youtube上看 Jummy Page 的視頻

來學習吉它的
11:38
Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --
15
682255
3172
Usman Riaz: 是的，那是我的開頭，然後
11:41
That was the first thing I learned,
16
685427
2296
這是我一開始學到的
11:43
and then I started progressing to other things.
17
687723
2631
然後我開始學其它的
11:46
And I started watching Kaki King a lot,
18
690354
3039
然後我也看了很多 Kaki King 的視頻
11:49
and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,
19
693393
3753
她總是說她受到 Preston Reed 很深的影響
11:53
so then I started watching his videos,
20
697146
2144
所以我又再開始看他的視頻
11:55
and it's very surreal right now to be --
21

26
714357
1096
Usman：我從未學過這曲子
12:11
but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,
27
715453
3017
但他說我們會一起在台上表演這首
12:14
so I was familiar with it, so that's why I had so much more fun learning it.
28
718470
4391
我對這很熟悉 所以這就是為什麼我享受於學習它
12:18

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.
