Hi! I have been playing guitars on and off (mostly off) for over 20 years. Technically I feel competent and can physically play anything I would want to play. My issue is I don’t feel I really know much about the guitar and don’t really progress. I don’t have much of a repertoire and just know a handful of licks and half songs. I want to dedicate some time the next 6 months to learning but not sure where to start. If it helps I’m mostly interested in blues/jazzy stuff. Any advice?

As a beginner I'm currently following JustinGuitar and it's been really great. Justin definitely covers a lot of general stuff about guitar which I like. He has some intermediate and advanced content too, partly related to jazz and blues. All free too basically. He's a big proponent for learning by playing songs which is fun.

Jens Larsen also has some interesting content related to jazz

I've been playing for 25 years and I still use JustinGuitar from time to time. It's a really great resource.

If you're willing and able to put in work and be somewhat self driving by trying to understand and absorb everything Jens provides in his videos, I suspect he's put out the equivalent of a full jazz guitar course.
