In celebration of the Grateful Dead's 20th anniversary, Jerry Garcia agreed to do a wide-ranging interview for a "Frets" magazine cover story. We began by talking about his approach to performing with an acoustic guitar. During the ensuing 75-minute conversation, Garcia revealed a wealth of insight into his creative process, guitar playing in general, his favorite musicians, methods for overcoming "ruts," the Grateful Dead, and many other subjects. Our in-person took place on January 12, 1985, in a home in San Rafael, California.
