69 years old (Born on April 13, 1955)
Happy birthday, Preston Reed! May your day be as delightfully inventive and joyously unpredictable as the revolutionary two-handed tapping that you've wowed us with for decades. Since first dazzling audiences in 1979 (and across more than fifteen phenomenal albums since), you’ve hammered out a style so mesmerizingly original—it makes guitars everywhere secretly dream of their own birthdays…just to wish you'll pick them up!Congratulations on yet another year making fingerstyle jazz history look completely effortless—and impossibly cool. Here's hoping this coming trip around the sun is filled with unforgettable riffs, standing ovations, and perhaps one or two chords even *you* haven't discovered yet!
