GUITAR WORLD MAGAZINE | OCT 2024 | TREY ANASTASIO'S PHISH

Phish — a band that turns 41 this year — refuses to become a nostalgia act, and their rabid fans couldn’t be happier. In this issue, Trey Anastasio discusses his unique creative process and practice regimen — and why Phish’s current “renaissance period” makes him feel like a kid again. Includes a guide to his live rig, an interview with his guitar tech and pointers on how to play like Trey.

INSIDE THE MAG:
* In 1994, following the death of their brilliant young guitarist, Criss Oliva, Tampa rockers Savatage enlisted then-ex-Testament man Alex Skolnick for an album and tour. Although his time with the band was brief, it would have a lasting impact.
* Fontaines D.C. guitarist Carlos O’Connell breaks down his unique approach to recording the band’s seismic new album, Romance.
* High on Fire’s Matt Pike and Jeff Matz discuss the venerable Oakland band's long-awaited 2024 album — and the spoils that came with it.
* Eric Bazilian — longtime frontman/guitarist for the Hooters — talks gear, Eighties success, his one-take "All You Zombies" solo and forging hits with Cyndi Lauper and Mick Jagger.
* In Lost Classics, Helmet’s Page Hamilton recalls the making of 'Betty,' the band’s polarizing 1994 curveball of an album.
* The Gear Hunter checks in with the gang at Victory Amps.
