Notes

Studio recording for 'Stash' (from 'A Picture of Nectar', 1992). Trey Anastasio used his Languedoc G2 with custom-wound humbuckers into a Mesa/Boogie Mark III amp. No evidence of Dumble or Two Rock amps on this studio recording; those are later-era/live gear. Effects chain includes Tube Screamer and compressor. No evidence of additional modulation or time-based pedals in the solo section.

Difficulty

The 'Stash' solo requires advanced phrasing, dynamic control, and the ability to navigate complex modal changes and syncopated rhythms, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
