Guitar Talk: Advice on Injury Prevention and Recovery from Glen Phillips

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket was sitting on a glass-topped coffee table in the living room of Nickel Creek’s Sean Watkins, when the glass suddenly shattered, sending shards into the air and leaving Phillips with a severe cut on his left arm and a badly damaged ulnar nerve.

Watch above as Phillips discusses his injury in an exclusive Guitar Talk.
