Hi! I have been playing guitars on and off (mostly off) for over 20 years. Technically I feel competent and can physically play anything I would want to play. My issue is I don’t feel I really know much about the guitar and don’t really progress. I don’t have much of a repertoire and just know a handful of licks and half songs. I want to dedicate some time the next 6 months to learning but not sure where to start. If it helps I’m mostly interested in blues/jazzy stuff. Any advice?

I have considered buying the Next Level Playing course from Paul Davids when I have some time to really dedicate myself to it. I used to follow his YouTube channel and the guy is very good so I assume the course is worth it. Note that I haven't actually taken the course so I can't say for sure. Also I am not affiliated in any way.

What I find interesting about it is that it has a laid out learning path, and covers not only the technical part of playing but also the musical part like scales, modes, improvising, chord progressions.

However it's not cheap so maybe try to look for some reviews online before buying.

I've been looking at Paul Davids' courses too. His approach and demeanor in his YouTube videos are great. Also Tomo Fujita's Guitar Wisdom because I like he's a Berkeley professor and I like his personality.
