Also Fareed Haque's Jazz Comping Survival guide covers a lot for rhythm.
There's a course on there called Creative Jazz Comping by Sean McGowan and he has a really good way of explaining things.
Also Sheryl Bailey does the Bebop Guitar Fakebook which is good for rhythm on some classics...Autumn Leaves etc..
Frank Vignola also has a Jazz Fakebook rhythm series that does similar.
The whole interface with backing tracks works really well.
@Jalapeno I quite liked the videos of his I watched. Used the "pause" and "back ten seconds" functions on the YouTube app a lot, but that wasn't a bad thing. His diagrams were nice and clear on freezeframe, with the caveat that one of them had a boo-boo in it (that was pointed out and acknowledged in the comments).
Jen's Larsen comes highly recommended, I've got loads of great ideas from him recently. As a bonus his voice is very soothing!

There's a free download beginners guide that is excellent.

If first principles needed like using bebop scale / 7-13th arpeggios / diminished arp etc Joseph's Alexanders Fundamental Changes in Jazz Guitar helped me sound more Jazzy and less straight Blues fairly quickly.
@PonchoGreg - what did you find helpful out of interest?
Sheryl Bailey was defo useful, but in the end I also ended up doing what I said I wouldn't do... Pilfered some basics here and there from YT and just worked on a few tunes. Mostly comping to be fair, the arpeggio practice never really got off the ground so I need to get back on that.
