How to get started with playing Jazz Guitar?

1. Listen to jazz guitarists.

2. Practice sight reading as often as you can. If reading Charlie Parker solos at a slow tempo is too difficult for you, then work your way up to that.

3. Basic technique. You should know all your major and minor scales and arpeggios inside and out. Know how to voice all 7th chords.

4. Theory. If you can't already, learn how to do Roman numeral analysis and practice with some Bach chorales until it becomes second nature.

5. Pick up some kind of a jazz theory text and then pick an easy standard to learn and start learning it from a leadsheet.

6. Start transcribing guitar solos you like. Find a guitar solo on whatever standard you're learning and transcribe that. Analyze the solo and figure out why it works.

Play in a jazz band, even if you have a basic understanding you can pick things up quick. Though most importantly learn your theory and learn how to read sheet music.

The Charlie Parker Omnibook is what you want to get first. You can buy it or it's pretty easy to download the pdf online.

Other than that just google "artist name + transcription and see what comes up"

but doing your own transcriptions is really pretty crucial too
