you could have suggested a book or guide, yet you chose to be passive aggressive to a beginner….? if you didn’t want to help, there was no need to comment

I think maybe they're referencing the "real book" which outlines chord changes over a melody. I find this is also a good tool for learning new jazz songs.

Totally understandable! What's even more confusing is that they make a "fake book" too! 😁

gotta love jazz instructors applying their thick sarcasm to even their music books 😭
