Reading Notes on Guitar
Fundamental Changes makes some of my favorite guitar books on the planet. They're always informative, chock full of cool riffs, and have great teachers doing the writing.
In addition to their books, they also have a great website full of lessons. If you don't know how to read music, you should check out this post which is very helpful in getting started.

Matt Warnock is one of the best resources for jazz guitar lessons. His website is jam packed with essential lessons for the genre, and they generally are in depth posts. I've mentioned him many times in the Six String Sunday newsletter, and today I wanted to link to one of my favorite posts of his. Click the link below to head to his 141 Jazz Guitar Licks post. Not only are there great jazz licks to learn in this lesson, but Matt gives you the background about how and why you should learn these licks, and how to change them to be used in your own playing.
