Preston Reed
Noted for his two handed tapping technique and a rhythmic approach to
the acoustic guitar that doesn't obscure the other essential elements of
music making, Preston Reed has been a major creative force in the
acoustic guitar world for better than twenty years.
Since his first album
in 1979, he has issued more than a dozen recordings and several videos.
While virtually any special effect or track can be added in the studio, in
a Preston Reed concert, listeners often find it hard to believe that they
are hearing a single player in real time.
For Preston, it's all in a tune's work to create the
illusion of a drummer, bass player, and keyboard player, not to mention
more than one guitarist. Preston's early influences included
John Fahey,
Leo Kottke, and jazz
pianist Bill Evans, but these musicians were not so much copied as
emulated before moving on to uncharted territory. Preston studied
classical guitar for a time but there is virtually no precedent for his
first paid job as an accompanist to Allen Ginsberg at the Smithsonian
Institute at age seventeen.
With this auspicious beginning, Preston worked hard
to get beyond the traditional confines of the acoustic guitar and
succeeded in coming up with a highly original self evolved style.
Al DiMeola and the late Michael Hedges have described Preston as "phenomenal"
and "inspiring."
Preston's composition efforts extend beyond the solo
guitar. He has contributed to film soundtracks and his Groovophrenia, a
four movement suite for classical guitar quartet, was debuted by the
Minneapolis Guitar Quartet in September of 1999. He also presents
workshops in which he shares his technical innovations and discoveries.
