From a Reddit thread:
Looking for a good book of standards of chord-melody stuff for intermediate guitar. Struggling to find a good songbook of chord-melody guitar for the experienced but not professional guitarist. I see some on Amazon, but reviews seem mixed.
I have a better idea; instead of learning chord-melody songs/arrangements by rote, why not invest a little time and effort (and way less money!) learning the theory behind creating chord-melody arrangements? Then you can CREATE your own arrangements!
Why limit yourself to googling for a chord-melody arrangement for this song or that song when you can create your own for any song?

Don’t waste time learning arrangements by rote. I call that, “random acquisition” and it’s an extremely inefficient way to learn. You will have gaps and you’ll never know what you don’t know.
