Style Guitar

What are the first things to learn for jazz style guitar?
I'm a noob to jazz guitar and well...jazz period. But I've reached a point in my playing, that I'm ready to branch out from the genres I normally play. (Blues, Rock, Metal, r&b, ect.) Can someone give me help? Video links? Anything really. Thanks!
Scales & modes & chord theory are critical to jazz guitar. Learn as much music theory as you possibly can. I have a great book called Jazz Chops for Guitar which also came with a CD. I also have the Blues Chops for Guitar. It's a great introduction to exercises and lessons designed to make you a better jazz guitarist. There's probably a lot of other great books you could get from your local music store or online.
Gtarczar - I think you left out the punch line to your joke:
A rock guitarist plays 3 chords to a thousand people, a jazz guitarist plays a thousand chords to 3 people. Very funny though and good advice.
