This is the chord melody of Bye Bye Blackbird with one chorus of solo, in a similar way I usually play solo guitar gigs. Here are few notes:
By transcribing this piece, I realized there's a lot of ghost notes to keep the rhythm and swing feel. They can be multiple strings as long as it's serving its job.
Also slide helps to make it sounds more like singing and groovy.
Some parts I tried to imagine as if it's a big band horn section.
Soundslice has more accurate information about articulation than pdf.
