Preston Reed – Most Gifted Guitarist
June 30th, 2011 — Famous Musicians, Fingerstyle Guitar, Fun Stuff, Interviews
I came across a press release about and interview with guitarist Preston Reed. Admittedly, I have not known of Preston, and was just blown away with two handed pickin’ and slappin’ in “Tractor Pull”. Total Guitar has suggested him to be the “Most Gifted Guitarist”.
It’s a great interview by Patrick Strother, CEO and chief creative officer of Strother Communications Group (SCG). Evidently, Patrick has know Preston for quite a while and even took lessons from him at one point. In the interview, Preston about the lessons and insights he shares about creativity, practice and dedication through his musical journey. He also reveals how his playing evolved, his practice schedule and the best advice he’s ever received.
