What are some easy jazz songs to learn for guitar?


I need a jazz song for guitar that I can learn within a couple of days. I have never played jazz before. Does anyone have any ideas? If you can, please attach an audio file of the song or tell me where I can get it (iTunes, etc). Thanks.

get youself a fake book (like the Real Book) and start going through the songs. learn the standard jazz progressions like 2-5-1s and learn how to improvise. You don't learn jazz in few days... it take years. start with the most common standards like autumn leaves, take the A train, girl from ipanema (that's bossa nova), satin doll, etc...

If you have never played jazz before, you cannot possibly expect to be able to play a tune "within a couple of days". Learning to play jazz takes longer than that.

Most of the people I know who studied jazz guitar started on rudimentary pieces like 'Satin Doll' and 'Honeysuckle Rose'. Those could be a good beginning for you and these are usual fare in beginner jazz guitar books.

well my brothers play jazz. and one of my brothers plays the guitar. here are some songs he plays.
my funny valetine,
autumn leaves,
billy's bounce,
sweet georgia ,

you can also look on itunes! good luck!
