Phish's Trey Anastasio: an exclusive guide to his creative process and live rig – only in the new Guitar World

November 2024.

Hey, welcome back, everyone, and welcome to a new edition of "Here's what's in the latest issue of Guitar World"!

As you can tell from the the photo above (and another one below), Phish's Trey Anastasio is back, making his first GW cover appearance since our gallant January 2016 issue.

I was excited to have Alan Paul investigate the band’s new album, Evolve, which came out last month. Interestingly, however, Alan’s interview (and the resulting feature) evolved into something else; instead of a standard “new album” interview, we got a one-of-a-kind guide to Anastasio’s creative process and inspiring practice regimen.

It’s the sort of story that – with its first- and second-hand advice, courtesy of Quincy Jones – should appeal to any songwriter and/or guitarist, even those who haven’t yet marveled to tracks like Walls of the Cave, Free, The Inlaw Josie Wales, Down with Diease or Crowd Control.
