yep, im learning how to play jazz guitar, and it is extremely difficult. There is an infinite amount of things to learn about jazz, it is crazy but fun. I would recommend for someone trying to get into jazz these artists:
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Charlie Parker
Bill Evans
Charles Mingus
Wes Montgomery
Kenny Burrell
Bucky Pizzarelli
George Benson (be careful tho, some of his stuff is awful)
Billie Holiday (if you like jazz w/ vocals)
Django Reinhardt
Now if you want some really wacky stuff here:
Miles Davis '69-70's
John Mclaughlin
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Jeff Beck 70's only
John Scofield
Tony Williams Lifetime
Wayne Shortner
Weather Report
Pat Metheny
