  I know all the basic home chords, barre chords and some 7th chords. I know the basic scales (major, minor, pentatonic and blues) and I can play some rhythm and very, very basic lead (as in Smells Like Teen Spirit solo basic). How can I learn blues rhythm (and onwards)? I want to eventually play like SRV, Hendrix and Clapton or at least be influenced by them (I love their styles).
  
  Also, what are the advanced tips&tricks in choosing a guitar for myself? I've read several guides like this one https://wisepick.org/best-blues-acoustic-guitar/ and it helped to learn basics, but I'm sure there're many things that come with experience.

  If you're starting out in jazz, I think you should also start researching a lot of instruments and accessories and how they change the sound of your guitar. For example, I bought myself some guitar killswitches and other accessories from this site, and they made a big difference in my guitar and especially my sound. I think it's important to learn details like this from the beginning, because once you get used to the original sound, you'll have a harder time accepting other variations.
