The Snax Skool Library
Weekly classroom for Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia guitar. Five live touchpoints a week, a growing archive of 290+ lessons, homework that gets reviewed by Jack, and a community of players who care about this music as much as you do.
Annual subscription. Roughly the cost of ten 1‑on‑1 lessons with Jack, except you get a year of weekly lessons, live classes, and full archive access.
What's included
- Lick of the Week, every Monday morning, 9 AM ET. A short, focused study.
- Song of the Week, every Tuesday. Long-form, ~2-hour breakdown. The lick is the seed; the song is the full study.
- Three live class sessions every Wednesday, Beginner at noon, Intermediate at 2 PM, Masterclass at 4 PM. Show up live; ask anything.
- Thursday round-up Q&A, live, on Zoom. Anything you didn't get to.
- Friday homework review, submit your video by end of Thursday. Jack reviews and posts feedback. Anonymous by default; leaderboard if you want it.
- The full lesson archive, 290+ existing study pages (Library I & Library II), with click-through tables of contents, transcript-based study guides, and original video on every page.
- The community feed on Skool, 24/7. Students ask each other things; Jack drops in throughout the week.
Who it's for
Players who already know their basic chords and can hold a strum. The Library doesn't teach you what an A minor is, it teaches you what to do with one when you're playing Sugar Magnolia. If you can play along to a record, you can keep up here.
Skill level isn't a barrier, the Wednesday classes are stratified Beginner / Intermediate / Masterclass so you can drop into whichever fits.
