The lessons on there are excellent - and free. The forums on there are also very good.

The only hazard is that Truefire can become addictive!!
Also be aware that Truefire frequently have courses at discounted prices, so, if your lucky, you can buy course(s) more cheaply.
Some very easy concepts you can use quickly.

Before deciding on where to start you should hone in on what you want to do, jazz is pretty broad and you could get 100 different (valid) answers.
Perhaps the most crucial part is to REALLY listen to jazz first, if you've not spent the time it'll be very hard to play.
If you want just small snippets of ideas you can check out the Jens Larsen youtube channel. He tends to fall towards the Barry Harris approach most of the time (at least the videos that come up on my feed).
A couple of years ago, I was delighted to come across a 1967 Gibson 330 (in extremely good nick) which had had the P90's removed and replaced with Gibson T-Top Humbuckers, and which was modestly priced. This is as near as I have seen something near the guitar that she most commonly used.
Whilst I agree her videos are very approachable (needless to say I bought them a long time back when videos were videos, along with the majority of her CD's).
I find Frank Vignola's Truefire Courses very enjoyable, and find his style very approachable. Truefire, and Frank, have done well out of my purchases alone.
It’s a lifetime of study that’s for sure.
