Learning and memorising jazz tunes (Patreon)

You asked for more jazz (at least, some of you did), so this week I'm talking about the single most important thing you should be doing if you want to get into jazz guitar: learning tunes. Taking the jazz standard Autumn Leaves as a case study, I discuss how to understand and memorise the piece, and give you some options for playing the chords and melody. This is mostly a jazz-beginner kind of video, but there are a few more advanced ideas and concepts sprinkled in there too.
This is a follow up video to the lesson I did a few weeks back on beginner jazz chords. Do check that out if you've not already seen it.
I've put together a detailed set of tabs to accompany the video which you can find below. (There's also an audio clip of my chords and melody play-through which I need to to cut from the video as I got a copyright notice.)
