Jazz Guitar, after spending years listening to jazz, decided to start down the path of learning to play it in my thirties. I already played some guitar, but over the past year, I've learned so many things about theory, chord construction, inversions, phrasing, time feel, and have been doing a concerted effort in improving my aural skills to lift other players' music by ear and transcribe their playing.

I could have written this myself.. Going through the exact same thing. Love me a 2-5-1. I wish you the best of luck in your music journey!
what resource have you used to learn?
I got a teacher.

I did find that the steps that I took to get to intermediate all helped immensely. Learning triad shapes all across the neck, learning all the notes in the neck. Learning the basics of theory for chord construction, and learning how to build chords in the guitar neck. Then focus on time and keeping a the forms of songs.
