I've been playing guitar since I was 9 (i'm 22 now) on and off. I played classical guitar for 5 years and got my grade 5 Conservatory with preliminary rudiments, but that was almost 5-6 years ago now. My chops are not nearly as good as they were back when I was playing classical, but they arent horrible. I think its mainly because i'm getting bored with playing the same kind of stuff all the time. Mainly Rock, folk, blues kind of guitar.

So i've decided to look into Jazz guitar, since i've heard many people say that it will make you look at the guitar in a completely different way. I am kind of lost at how to start though. I'm considering taking lessons (in Toronto), buying books, listening to jazz, etc.

Can anyone suggest a good starting point for me?

I'm a little bit taken back, Im not much of a spiritual man.
Sounds like you probably know what youre talking about, could you suggest some records I should check out? Anything I can download off Itunes possibly?

Thanks so much for your replys.
