I need 10 jazz guitar songs to learn! Help!

(a) WHat Octatonic said above.

(b) I'll throw a few more worthwhile standards onto the list...

Ain't misbehaving - great for solo guitar
Cheek to Cheek - also great for solo guitar
Girl From Ipanema (adds a bit of variety, and the chord changes to this are just gorgeous)
Autumn Leaves - been said earlier, but worth repeating as this is the standard of standards. Seriously, you've GOT to know this one.
Someone to watch over me - a standard, but also a personal fave
 
if your playing by yourself ide suggest getting a jazz "fake book" and learning to do chord melodies. i can kinda do it, but it takes me a little to actually do this and make it sound good and make sense lol. but one of my old guitar teachers used to just look at jazz charts and go through them like nothin. not as crazy as joe pass but he was really good at it.
