Jazz song for beginners

[Tenn]

Hello, I'm a beginner. I play the acoustic guitar, and I think I should try jazz songs. Does anyone have any recommendation for any jazz songs for beginners? Thank you.

Autumn Leaves is a Great tune, especially for exploring both Major & Minor 251 progressions

I tried Misty by Elmore James. Have not had the time to dig deep into it yet. But I loved it every step of the way

Righhtt, i forgot Autum leaves. It also has melodic minor if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah you can definitely use it over the Minor chords in the tune

i tired that George Gershwin song, Summertime( only the chords ), I don't remember how I found it but it was probably after hearing about Synyster talking about jazz

I second 'Take Five' on this - one of my favourite Jazz tunes

Blue bossa.
Starts with a minor 2-5-1 and goes to a major 2-5-1 so you can practice both. In total it only has 7 chords so probably a good way to start.

I just had a “conversation” with ChatGpt about this

I thought it gave some good info and a chord progression to start with.
