  • @seth3556r by your definition of a "real muscian", Izthak Perlman, Yo Yo Ma and a whole host of others don't qualify. They are all going to be very heartbroken when they find out.

  • She was a great player and a truly great person.....

  • This is great, I love bossa nova

  • I would love to remel her!

  • Thank you for posting this , I almost have the whole song down. I can't stop playing it!

  • omg something good from the 80's.....

  • @SorcererOnDope DUMB!

  • Nice playing!

  • "Hi"... More like "Bye" :P Great video! ;D

  • I care about how nice it is of her to share her passion with us. Critics who comment beyond these lines only show their shortcomings.

  • wauw ik lik to sing ob this your so in to this

  • wauw ik lik to sing ob this

  • que a burrido!!!!!!!

  • So many talented people died of drugs... Why they shorten their life on purpose?! Say no to drugs! Life is short enough without them... :(

  • @OrangeAni perhaps because some drugs help to unlock areas of musical and artistic creativity that modern society represses in its discouragement of individual thinking.

  • nice jazz box

  • Hi ! I've been really stonished to see this video, don't know why !!! I like the way of playing some bossa Novas with an arch-top, guitar that sounds well, & I'd like to know if it's a Gibson or another brand. When I record a Bossa, I always play it on my Godin Multiac duet, nylon strings, never on my electric guitar, but I think that I'll try one day. Thumbs up, really well done. BYE !

  • Emily died of a drug induced heart attack in a Sydney hotel in 1990

  • Smooth love it

  • 1:28 - 1:32 look at her!!!Diggin' it!!!

  • @gebass6 LOL she sure is. 

  • Yes, very sad loss. Emily was good. I first heard of her when she did the CD with Larry Coryell "together" in 85 I think.

  • I live in Worcester, MA, and I was involved with a community radio station in the mid 80's. I had a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder that I would lug around and record live acts to be played on the station. I recorded Emily when she played at the College of the Holy Cross here in Worcester. I came into the hall with this little suitcase with my stuff while she was doing soundcheck. She allowed me to spread my mic cords right in front of everyone in the front row. And damn me, I've lost the tape.

  • Must be a lot of uptight cats out there with all of the insults. I wish I had the talent, and dedication she must've had to play at anywhere near her level. To many internet gangsters out there.

  • talkin about music is like dancing about architecture.... so ziiip it dudes.. let me hear talented mrs Rembler. cheers.

  • Nice comping on this vid...congrats!

  • yeeaaahhh!!!

  • Seth, unfortunately, you cannot take lessons from Senhor Jobim unless you know how to revive the dead. I don't think you've got much of an argument, for any decent jazz guitarist is well-versed in bebop, acid, bossa, latin, blues and certainly fusion styles. Some just specialize--"smooth" jazz, for intance--more than others. Emily was very versatile and gifted. She probably had some very good Brasilian or Latino jazz notables as teachers.

  • Extremely tasteful and fluid, beautifully timed - she knew how to play.

  • Maybe if you knew your Jobim, you'd know that he wrote "Red Blouse" as well as "Girl From Ipanema"

  • No, no no, that wasn't my, I was talking about how she is supposed to be a great Jazz teacher but about every video she has she uses other people's music and methods instead of her own, if I wanted to play that I would take Bossa Nova lessons from Antonio Carlos Jobim himself and not her.

  • Seth, you may want to learn sentence structure and then learn guitar.

  • okay smart ass, judging by the comments you've already posted on this video, I can tell you have no life and you're extremely boring, I'm not going to be lectured by someone who spends too much time on the computer. leave me alone troll.

  • If you know anything about bossa nova guitar, the master is not Jobim (he was more of the composer). The guy who really developed the style we know today is none other than Joao Gilberto...who I might add, is still alive ;)

  • sounds good, i'll check em out.

  • @seth3556r: Seth, you may be interested to know that Emily toured with Austid Gilberto, one of the founders of the bossa nova style, for three years. She was the real deal, and knew how to play latin jazz, as well as bebop, standards, blues, swing, and so on. In her meteoric musical career, she played and recorded with such luminaries as Hank Jones, and other greats. Her loss was devastating to the jazz community, esp. guitarists.

  • @GeorgiaBoy1961 I was just being ignorant. It's okay lol I know Gilberto and Jones. But considering she didn't get know until the 80's, she didn't have as much impact on jazz than wes montgomery or charlie christian. Dont get me wrong she's good, but she's a rip off of other musicians. a real musician has influences yes, but doesnt try to sound like every one else. all the vids of her ive seen she sounds exactly like a rip off of her influences she cited.

  • @footcandy I know Jobin, I don't think people understand I was just being ignorant

  • Emily was a wonderful player. I guess what some of them viewing don't understand this is from an instructional video. You want to hear her burn solos pick up one of her albums. I never get tired of listening to her.

  • Emily sounds great here as usual. She was adept and conversant in many styles within the broad musical genre known as jazz, including Bossa Nova, an indiginous and unique music of Brazil, which requires a lifetime to master, Its infusion into jazz in the 1960s was a great gift which enriched that genre. As for the "bossa de gringo" comment, all I can say is that guitarists of all genres could learn a thing or two from Emily about tastefulness, phrasing, and sheer musicality.

  • dcehm - re. bossa de gringo - isn't all bossa just a white Brazilian pseudo intellectual middle-class appropriation of samba, a kind of "samba de branco" anyway? So now not only can white people not play the blues (or bossa) but only Brazilians can play bossa...

    And perhaps only Americans can play jazz.. Widen your horizons and ditch some of your musical prejudices, instead of playing the musical racist. If it's good music, then what is there to say? Lighten up and enjoy it!

  • The term "gringo" doesn't refer to white people. It is a "latinization" of the words Green and Go. It was developed as a way for Spanish Speaking soldiers to tell American soldiers (green uniforms)to leave. The fact of the matter is that culture and language greatly affect any sort of expression. Whether that culture be acquired or native is irrelevant. Immersion in a culture is the issue, not race.

    In the future, Have the information before commenting.

  • dcehm - time to get *your* facts right -:

    "gringo" is a derogatory term, regardless of your mealy-mouthed etymological and sociosemantic meandering, particularly in the way you used it. It is as offensive as the similar smart-arse Brazilian put-down for non-Portuguese speaking South-Americans "Cucarachas". For all your pseudo-learning, you, my friend, are a provincial hick, a "caipira". "ER cannot manage bossa and she can barely play jazz on this showing." What arrogance!!!

  • I really think you are commenting at the wrong person. I never stated that remler can't handle bossa or jazz. Secondly, you don't know me , so engaging in insults is neither appropriate nor necessary. and gringo is not exclusively a derogatory term. I, being a Hispanic born in the US, am often referred to as El Gringo by family members. Gringo like any term can be an insult in the right context. . Please stop putting words in my mouth.

  • I din't put words in your mouth. OK, I accept that "gringo" can be used jokingly - my Brazilian friends call me "gringo" too, but they kid with me because they know me. Let's say that "bossa de gringo" then is a light-hearted put-down rather than an out-and-out insult. There you are. However, see the smart-arse comments below on "bossa de gringo" and ER teaching gringos how to play bossa. I don't recall Jobim referring to Getz's playing as "bossa de gringo", at least not in public.

  • With all due respect, you did put words in my mouth. I could care less about comments other people make. You made a decision to attack my comment and insult me on numerous occasions and then have the audacity to call me "Friend". As I said before you don't know me, and making comments on my person, education, or anything else is highly inappropriate.

    I could care less about what anyone else comments. Direct your comments at the "smart-arses" who made the comments.

  • These are your words: "this is a bossa de gringo, it lacks all the edge of diasporan music including jazz", whichi I paraphrased. Of course you're not "my friend" - that is a common ironic expression. I object to the expression "bossa de gringo" in this particular context, as you are not Brazilian, it seems less of a slight coming from you. I thus apologise for calling you a "caipira", which is not warranted. In fairness though, it seems I was not the only one to take offence. Good day.

  • GODDAMN!

  • Your version of the origination of "gringo" is incorrect. The term dates back to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) American uniforms were blue. Green uniforms did not come in until around 1898. The term originated from the refrain of a song the Americans sang while marching: "Green Grow The Rushes." Hearing "Green grow" repeated throughout the song, Mexicans at the time began calling the soldiers "Gringos." As you advised above: "In the future, have the information before commenting."

  • @dcehm

    It's"green coat" what originated the term during the american invasion of Mexico.

  • inveja e a pior coia que existe no mundo

  • Toca bossatech, ou seja, isto não é bossanova e sim bossa de gringo. Cai foram robô!!!!!

  • nice basic melody. It would be fun to improvise over

  • Comment removed

  • goood...but veryy basic!

  • I just discovered this wonderful guitarist and now I find out that she died. Way too many talented people have left us due to drug abuse. Such a tragic loss!!

  • so weird to see a woman playing the guitar...aside from classical i mean

  • not so weird nowadays. i play progressive rock n speed metal. we girls are different now. lol

  • no your not

  • check out my channel. tq

    many girls can rock as well. dont simply deny the facts

    Bella

  • does anybody have the hot licks tab booklet for this video?

    thanks

  • Bossa Nova is my new favorite music.

  • Bossa nova so relaxing and relieving the best music to make yeah relaxed.

  • Sorry, I was meant to press the "thup-up" and not down! your comment , of course, deserves a thump up!

  • Ok thanks.

  • she is awesome

  • Smooth.

  • is it? i didn't realize the Y chromosome facilitates jazz musicianship.

  • haha. i think he just meant that there arent that many out there, since playing guitar has for the most part been a "guy thing".

    but then there are women like her that have seriously nasty skill ;)

  • thanks for clearing that up for me (tongue in cheek). then again, maybe he's just as foolish as his words make him appear.

  • @jazzcatuna dick

  • the Y chromosome facilitates an upbringing which is usually more open to the idea of professional jazz musicianship, that's all

  • ...you must be the most ignorant male musician there is. Woman? Jazz? Sexist isolate...

  • the best!

  • I've posted ACJ's original version of this great tune & tried to post it as a response to this video, but, for some reason, it wasn't allowed...

  • Hi!

  • she is the best female jazz guitarist i have ever heard/seen

  • Lovely playing, loses a couple of stars for the mullet though.

  • Aww that's no fair. The mullet was cool back then. :)

  • @footcandy

    Lesbians will wear the mullet forever...it seems....plenty in my hood.

  • @lonegroover That's no Mullet!She's got her hair tucked behind her ears.

  • @lonegroover dick

  • Muy buena, felicidades. No hagas caso de comentarios machistas de gente mediocre.

    Fer desde España

  • Excellent! I'm discovering a lot of great guitar hear on "you tube". Depressing to read the crass comments, though (not bad for a girl/gringa): music is universal, talent knows no barriers or categories.

  • The fuck is your problem?

    Arley isnt Flaming squat! and there you go Going all extreme cause he said not bad fora girl

    Can you fucking chill?

    Seriously Do it

  • i dont know if you noticed but the little smiley at the end of his sentence signified sarcasm.

    as in you are so smart and cool!;)

  • Muito bom para um gringo!!!

    Very good!!!

  • i did'nt mean to get your dander up, but coming from leo, it WAS a genuine compliment. coming from a older italian man,who probably did think she should have been making red gravy or doing laundry.. but he could play his ass off.i myself way dig emily. too bad she died so young.

  • when i played her first album for my teacher,he said,she's not bad for a girl...that was quite a compliment from leo.i tend to like her earlier stuff, there was an album with hot house,and daahoud, that kills me. i think it's movin' wes? heroin sucks. it got her,bird,and many others. too bad.

  • "Not bad, *for a girl*"?? I think that was more of an insult than it was a compliment and personally I am insulted every time I am told the same thing. Why are men so threatened by a female with an electric guitar?

  • yeh, your right. They're being so tight in the arse. lol, funny innit? I have no idea either even though I am guy.

    I wish I could play that well. I just started learning to play the guitar and my friend is kind enough to teach me how. She's a girl by the way:)

  • Maybe it was his way of saying he didn't care for her light touch on the guitar. She was fabulous though.

    Whatya think Leo thought of Mary Osborne?

  • Generally speaking, how many girls are out there that are considered great? You BARELY EVER hear of them.

  • "ITs Sad She Died So Young".

  • brasilian music awesome

  • Wow, smooth

  • LMFAO!! "Hot Licks" is the name of this vid?

  • I definitely thought this was going to turn dirty quickly.

  • It's brazilian music

    awesome!

  • great work

  • she's really awesome! this was such a smooth groove!  I loved it!

  • I earned some respect for female guitarist who are for the most part equally boring.

  • Tudo bem!! RIP Emily!!!

  • HI

    Would you show the different chords.

    Thx

  • she cant

  • I'd never heard of her until I just saw a thing about her in the latest Guitar Player. She is a good player. I wonder what happened, she looks in pretty good shape. Here I am 57 and way over weight and still strangling my six string.

  • Unfortunately Emily died in 1990 from a heart attack, which I believe was from her heroin use. She's absolute magic to watch (and listen to) .. check out her last album she recorded "This Is Me". Her tutorial videos are also excellent.

  • she is good, nice combinations.. ;)

  • This gal is just fantastic. Wow.

  • i disagree with all who says she's not good... it was ALL guitar! she's darn good, i think! she didn't miss a beat! (5stars)!!!

  • She has a cool way of playing, shes really inti it, love you babe xxx

  • She was a great.She was killed by a heart attack at may 4 1990 in Sydney Australia he was 32 RIP Emily

  • me encanta la bossa nova

    sta tia esta buenisima

  • how did she die?

  • What a great guitar player.

  • good

    but not Gilberto stuff for sure.

  • you re good;)

  • This is cool, but isn't too good like a brazilian playing the same. =]

  • I'm Brazilian and I enjoy she playing. Maybe some more samba rythm... who knows ? But I like the way she plays. Congratulations.

  • inspiring and wonderful

  • este si que es un verdadero manjar para mis oidos.

    esta mujer tocaba como los angeles!!!

  • Great feel, and touch.... I really love her playing! Wonderful dynamics...

  • What kind of guitars did Emily play mainly ?

  • I think this one was a Gibson, but I am not sure. Anyway, this guitar seen on this video sounds good for jazz, blues and bossa nova...probably more, but that's what I think...

  • thanks, I'm so bummed that I never got to see her perform when she was on the scene. She was an incredible player and seems to have held her own pretty well as a female jazz guitarist.

  • yeah. i think so!!

  • if ur playing bossa, is it similar in playing a jazz scales or chords?

  • Yup, it's just the rhythm is what makes it Bossa Nova.

  • The rythm of Bossa Nova is Samba ... in a slower pace.

  • demasido bueno

  • Really good. Can you still can this lesson thing on DVD. I am learning and could use some tips from this girl!

  • my fokil

  • Just a small note : "The Red Blouse" is a bossa nova theme by Antonio Carlos Jobim released at 1967 "Wave" album.

  • it'sa very relexin' music!

  • i feel like applausing so much after i was done watching the video :DDD<3

  • lol--yeah, like she's in live concert or something. (she knows how to play that guitar).

  • muito bom

  • JUST LOVELY

  • Emily excellent

  • That is not a Gibson, but a Roger Bory's handmade archtop. She typically either played it or her Gibson 335.

  • Oh, What a great guitar player. We have lost her. My My.

    Now it is for us to seek the Kingdom of God

  • I met here twice she played with GIT students in 1985. And I also saw her in San Francisco Jazz club before she died.

  • I met Emily (don't have space to tell the whole story) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was doing a concert at the Rebeccah Cohen auditorium with Larry Corryel. We stayed in touch until her untimely death in Australia. She was one of the all-time greats of jazz guitar, & a wonderful person as well. If you get a chance, listen to her on a Horace Silver tune called "Strollin'"

  • You lucky SOB getting to meet Emily. I would have loved to see her perform.

  • The night I heard & met her she was playing a duo with Coryell. Coryell had great technique & played with breakneck speed & flash. But Emily had something better: she had soul. She would just tightly shut her eyes, & the most amazing came out of that little girl's guitar. It was one of the most satisfying experiences hearing her play, & I was devastated when I learned that she died in Sydney, Australia at the age of only 34. Heroin has ruined the lives of too many jazz greats.

  • can anybody reccomend more bossa nova vids like this one?

  • Stan Getz & Jao & Astrid Gilberto. Don't know if they're on video, but you should get the albums if you like Bossa jazz. Getz brought Bossa Nova jazz to prominence the world over. Remember "The Girl From Ipanema"; "Corcovado"; also look for composers like Jobim & Luis Bonfa .....Listen to Desmond & Jim Hall on "Wave" & "Samba Cantina"....You don't have to see it to love it. A CD will do just fine.

  • What richness has this musical woman left us,these video's are a treasure.I've seen her play live,I'll always cherish that moment.Her together with Larry coryell,

    such joy their playing together.

  • Emily was awesome! Anyone know what kind of guitar she's playing?

  • Herb Ellis model Gibson

  • thanks!
