Usman Riaz a 21 ans et c'est un virtuose de la guitare percussive , un style qu'il a appris en regardant ses héros sur Youtube. C'est un TED fellow qui joue sur scène à TEDGlobal 2012, suivit par un solo époustouflant de son maître de guitare percussive, Preston Reed. Et regardez ces deux guitaristes se lancer dans une improvisation impromptue.

Preston 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. Full bio »

Young guitarist Usman Riaz pulls a rich, swirling sound out of the acoustic guitar. Full bio »
