Apart from a few basics for guitar.
This (above) is the best advice she could have. Jazz is so different in many ways to other guitar theory. It's basically the top of the hill stuff.
Check out Eva Cassidy - Very good player - no longer with us.
Check out Emily Remler - She has good jazz teaching video stuff.
New York Times - (EIGHT years ago Emily Remler was picking out rock tunes on a single string of a guitar. She had never heard any jazz, she couldn'tread a note of music and had no particular interest in being a musician. Today she is being hailed as one of the major jazz stars of the 1980's, a guitarist of unusual authority and individuality.)
I'm sure there are many others you could find !!!
