  • Chris Anderson: You guys were amazing.

  • That's amazing.

  • You just don't hear that every day.

  • (Laughter)

  • Usman, the official story is that

  • you learned to play the guitar

  • by watching Jimmy Page on YouTube.

  • Usman Riaz: Yes, that was the first one. And then I --

  • That was the first thing I learned,

  • and then I started progressing to other things.

  • And I started watching Kaki King a lot,

  • and she would always cite Preston Reed as a big influence,

  • so then I started watching his videos,

  • and it's very surreal right now to be --

  • (Laughter)

  • (Applause)

  • CA: Was that piece just now,

  • that was one of his songs that you learned, or how did that happen?

  • UR: I'd never learned it before,

  • but he told me that we would be playing that on stage,

  • Can you? Do you jam? Do you have anything else?

  • PR: We haven't prepared anything.

  • CA: There isn't. I'll tell you what.

  • If you have another 30 or 40 seconds,

  • and you have another 30 or 40 seconds,

  • and we just see that, I just think --

  • I can feel it. We want to hear a little more.

  • And if it goes horribly wrong, no worries.
