With the caveat that this is not in the least bit criticism...it is an incredible testament to Garcia's playing...I have watched three videos by different people on this solo, and each one has offererd some subtlety that the others missed. And, each was so accurate that I didnt even notice these details until I watched the next persons video. These nuances that are so subtle when overlooked, turn out to be HUGE when applied as well, which is also incredible. You don't necesarily notice them when they are missed, but the impact when incorporated is massive. An example is the opening 6th slide. The first video had it as a single note slide. Sounded perfectly accurate. But, when I watched this and heard the the f# harmony, it was so obviously essentila to make it magickal. The fact that I have been studying and playing this music for decades, and am still surprised by the genius of it, is beyond words. (and btw, Jack, when I say each person missed something, you had it all notewise, but the phrases were played in different positions in one of the other videos, which I feel was more ergonomic, and maybe tonally better because it utilized the thicker strings. It may sound corny, but the joy and satisfaction I got just form realizing that the opening notes are actually a 6th, was incredibly gartifying, so thank you for that. Garcia would hat us for figutring his stuff out note for note, and I do try to avoid it when actually performing, but I just HAVE to know everything as precisely as possible, and thank you so much for filling in so many of the things that have evaded me for years. Fucker.😈)And actually after writing this, I realized you werent transcribibg the 91 solo the others were, so I guess you actually didnt miss anything, lol

Awesome stuff! Thanks. My recent discovery of your channel has been a total revelation. I am a bit of jazz guitar snob, but I cut my teeth as a teenage guitar player on the Dreadful Grapes (as I affectionately call them-it’s a love/hate relationship) but your lessons have inspired me to return to their catalog with renewed enthusiasm and vigor. Fun stuff. I love Weir’s (essentially jazz) approach to the instrument as much as Garcia’s approach and the interchange between them is truly sui generis and unparalleled. Thanks so much for these lessons! I’ll find a way to contribute something to your efforts! Cheers and enjoy your time off. Meanwhile, I’ll be working through your excellent content. -JGC PS: What do you use for drums on the backing tracks you make?

I have a 1956 Les Paul Special myself, the original bridge pickup on it is INCREDIBLY bitey. It's the best sounding P90 I've ever had, and I've had a 1953 Goldtop as well.

Great point here!

great lesson man thank u

always loved the Dead version of this tune.. My dad, who never could stand the music I listened to, when I played him this.. he was like yeah o.k. he also loved Ripple LOL

That version off the Skull & Roses album... is just amazing. so are your videos. thanks for taking the time.

Cool...love the harmonic minor sound and always wanna learn new ways to use it (or maybe just the correct way). I really appreciate it.

OMG! What is at 2:37 right after that you go to the first fret before the D

That opening jam... as usual.. was just rockin' Thanks for sharing.

how much is a one hour lesson

This was very helpful - when you talked about how you approach developing a solo by breaking it into chunks. Not just that, of course. It is helpful to hear (again 😁) your council that putting in the hours of ass time is a must. And from where I sit you are very giving in your willingness to come on again and again and treat everyone with respect, and offer your advice to us "younger" players. Not only do I get a lot of knowledge and encouragement, but you reenforce my belief that there are people with great big hearts out there. Thanks Jack!

Always loved it when Jerry would rock out like that :)

The opening jam at the beginning of this was awesome.

I just want to know what scale jacksnax is using on the 9th fret from the 10th fret into the 12th fret again when he goes down the scale is that an A major or an A minor?’

Great lesson with some invaluable licks and theory

some great sounds here. can I ask what the amp was? Extremely smooth breakup

Oh wow, at 13:25, that was so nice

Ooooohhhhh !!!! You are good asf on guitar 🎸 I don’t know if anyone ever told you that.

YES!!!!

I love the Bob approved ironic touch of dawning the beast Maiden shirt for a lesson teaching what is most likely Weir's most tender ballad 🙂 Classic. Both lessons on LLR were incredibly insightful as always Jack, helped me finally polish some of those rougher turd sounding sections I was phoning in since I first started learning this one back in 92. Once more I love the work you do here as I have said in passing numerous times before, thanks as always for your generosity in sharing the knowledge and the absolutely humbling chops you teach and share here with the community. You are amongst that slice of what can be good with the Social Media/Webosphere. Enjoy the summer Señor!

I love this guy! My best friend who was a dead head while I growing up in upstate New York would have been impressed with this guy, and he would have been honoured to have met him before he passed in May of 1996 from congestive heart failure?’❤

Big thanks Jack - missed it live but caught it this morning. They really extend that ascending line cliché! Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I just wanted to say that this guy is a genius, and I like his version or rendition even though this is not exactly the way he played?’ I actually like this guys version of Jerrys solo for Althea!’ But it sounds like he added his own twist to it or improvised it from the original one?’ My grandmother who died in 2013 her mother’s maiden name was Garcia!’ I’m still having trouble

Thank you Jack

Awesome....Thanks a lot Jack.

Nice..

Great video Jack. I wish we could see the live comments while replaying the video.

Jack, I just discovered your channel and it's amazing. Question: how do you get that "spank" on your attack when you play this solo? Is just the hot pups on your 335? You mentioned an envelope filter but I'm not hearing that effect.

I have never heard anyone play quite like you. It's truly amazing to me. There is no one teaching GD like this on YT. I've been working on this video alone for at least 4 weeks. There's so much in here, I fear I'll never get it all. At first I thought it was over my head because you don't spoon-feed the lessons. I have to rewind and use my ears to get this stuff. It's a lot of work but I think it might be better for real learning. I can't thank you enough. One question: towards the end when you are doing groups of six (I haven't mastered the groups of five yet!) you seem to be playing an F# major scale. Why is that when the key is E major/B mixolydian? And, if indeed you are playing in that key, why does this work?

Absolutely beautiful! Made me miss Jerry so much. Excellent job

Wow. Missed a few vids. Glad to see you. Gonna have to dust of those rusty strings just one more time

I'm so happy you're back. I love having these lessons to watch and play with when i get up. I appreciate you a lot for doing these. Also...How many people heard and gave the go ahead on that "street cats" line? Haha...Producer: "Okay... it's ridiculous and it's too long, I love it, roll tape." It kinda messes up the whole song. Anyways thanks a lot.

tutorial please?

Hey, I heard ya say you’re in Bethany beach at the end there & was wondering if ya wanna try an jam sometime & I might be interested in learning some scale idea’s from ya too. I been playing for 30 years now but never took a lesson, learned theory or learned all those scales. I more or less will usually get chords to a song & kinda play it my own way & as far as leads go, I learned a blues scale watch a “learn to play guitar overnight” VHS vid for 5 min once. Then one night sleeping out for Pink Floyd tix in ‘94, someone taught me on the B & the high E some scales with minor’s/half step patterns (just on those 2 stings) & the rest I took on my own from there. I mostly play in the same kinda pattern area on different parts of the neck to get a blues or country sound depending on the song. I’d like to learn a lot more & have some original’s if ya wanna hear “Ride or Die” & “Read between the Lies” on my channel. Those vids are the first time ever playing the songs at 4am, after I just finished writing them that night. Not sure how to message ya my number but lemme know if ya wanna try to get together one of these days. My mom lives at Bethany. I’m in California but moving back any day now. ✌️🤡☝🏼❤️

Man I’d love to take some lessons from you. If there’s a way to do something online please lmk man. I been watching you get better and better for over year and ur sound is exactly how I think of it 70s clean and a little more sparkle in playing then bluegrass. Lmk how to contact you I’d love to do live lessons online if that’s possible, I’m a disabled veteran that studied at berklee and u have been my fav dead guy and I live in Florida now so please lmk man !

Any idea what time signature King Solomon’s is? I cannot figure it out for the life of me

Ahhh now seeing Peggy o like this would be great. You’re by far the best dead guitar UA-camr out there

Thanks!

More of this please. This was sublime. Would love to get that tone and appreciate you giving some guidance on how it's done. I also realized in playing along with you a bit how easy it is to move between these pentatonics and arpeggios (I-IV) Loved the little Jessica bit you snuck in your opening solo. Cheers!

if you're mixing together mixolydian and aioli in the same run is this essentially a new mode ? or just a hybrid of sorts ? how many more modes lay undiscovered

Hey...Did you ever give anymore thought to doing a pre-recorded (pay for) lesson?

Awesome....I've gotta go back and finish your last one too. I used to sometimes have trouble hearing your voice (not that I'm complaining), but now everything sounds great. I can't tell if you got a new studio or if you just changed your camera angle. Thanks again, as always.

You're truly a gift to this world. Thank you for all your lessons and your solos are beyond amazing, jesus christ

I was one of those guitarist who didn’t learn alternate picking early and my instructor never slapped my hands, which in looking back, I wished he would have. Years of practicing to unlearn my economy picking style!

You’re the best. Thanks a lot.

So sad I missed this one! Great lesson though watched the replay.

Here again - listening. Man this is some serious business. You gotta do the entire song like this. I think I’ve commented this before but man. This is art

Cool....I was just wishing Jack would put out a new lesson earlier in the morning that you put this out. I was at work and had to double check that i hadn't fallin asleep and it didn't actually happen. Haha...You're greatly missed and thanks a lot.

Thanks jack. One of my favorites and the way you’ve arranged the lesson, I feel I can blend a lil Jerry into it all. Not to mention I can add those ta,ta,ta,ta,titilitil’s Those chromatic three note pull offs you showed me a year months ago
