In order to dive into learning Jazz guitar, I have gathered a list of online lessons, scales, and reading drills, etc.
Along with learning how to play, actually want to play songs.
For my first song, I am going to try Autumn Leaves because I found an in depth tutorial on this one song.
I plan to spend a few month on this one tune.
Wikipedia:
"Autumn Leaves" is a much-recorded popular song. Originally it was a 1945 French song, "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "The Dead Leaves"), with music by Hungarian-French composer Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert. The Hungarian title is "Hulló levelek" (Falling Leaves). Yves Montand (with Irène Joachim) introduced "Les feuilles mortes" in the film Les Portes de la nuit (1946)
The song is in AABC form.[15] "Autumn Leaves" offers a popular way for beginning jazz musicians to become acquainted with jazz harmony as the chord progression consists almost solely of ii-V-I and ii-V sequences which are typical of jazz. It was originally, and is most commonly, performed in the key of G minor, but is also played in E minor and other keys. Eva Cassidy's version (clip on the right) is played in B-flat minor.
Its iv7 – VII7 – IIImaj7 – VImaj7 – ii7(b5) – V7 – i chord progression is an example of the circle-of-fifthsprogression.[16]

Seems this is similar method for many beginners.
Learning Jazz is such a daunting task, it is difficult to decide where to start.
This is a snippet from a forum of someone choosing to take on Autumn Leaves as a learning project.
It lists 3 sheet music pdf`s and mentions he listened to 20 different versions to get familiar with the tune.
Another commenter mentioned to sing along with the song because it will become even more internalized.
