She was also a brilliant and caring jazz guitar/music educator. I had the crazy good fortune to study with Emily in nyc in 86 or 87. Before she went to CA where I’m guessing she might have recorded east to Wes. Anyway, on many occasions, when we’d just jam a bit on the blues, I saw her play lots of stuff like blues for herb. Just winging’ it. Groovin. From 2-3’ away in her living room. She was so f**king good! She could really swing. Sadly, she was frequently busy with gigs and personal stuff so a lot of lessons got cancelled and I only got to study with her for about 6 months before she went to the west coast. Still, her effect on me was profound. Some of my most cherished memories. I remember reading about her passing and not being able to process it.

I want to thank you for introducing me to Emily Remler! Since I saw your video weeks ago I've been listening to a lot of Emily. It's both a thrill to discover her music and incredible talent but also heartbreaking to think there could have been so much more. Thanks for the lessons and musical education.

..this gets a thumbs up before even watch...I LOVE Emily Remler-r.i.p...matter of fact, think I'll just start thumbs up ALL your vids...cause they being great and I like what you about..👍👍

Holy $#!!!. I was just figuring this song out YESTERDAY!! Only got the first 2 licks and chords. Thx for this. Great tune by a great guitarist.

Thanks for bringing attention to Emily Remler. She's an important influence to me. I have enjoyed your videos for years. There are two great instructional DVD's she made for those who are interested.

Thanks, I agree she was brilliant - I always wanted to learn this head- thanks again

Excellent lesson! Thank you Damian for providing the, "chord grids" for this lesson! Much appreciated.

Any Emily is good Emily -- thanks for this lesson! Love the jazz blues lessons!

Man your tone is to die for, Love everything you do Sir.

Smooooth, Damian. Emily was an eye-opener for me. She deserves to played far better than my ham-handed efforts!

Mr Bacci you is cooking...you is cooking man, and that is a cool Guitar and that T.Shirt is just as cool and that Emily woman god bless her soul was even cooler ..stay blessed my friend Love and Respect from across the pond. Azam/Hunted

Started learning Jazz Guitar with a book by Jimmy Bruno. I've never heard of Emily Remier. Thanks for introducing me!!! Nice Lesson.

I love Emily, I still have her Bebop and swing guitar instructional video on VHS from the old days.

Ah! Another breath of fresh air, thanks to Damian! Thanks a lot! Brilliant! Makes me want to play more jazz!

She was amazing. Got so good so fast. Devastating that she died so young.

Too cool!

Sure miss Emily!

Emily Remler! Nice! I’m an old fan of hers, and impressed you know her music. Keep up the great lessons and stay well.

Love your vids Damien. Greetings from Austria

Its great to hear you give all that credit to Emily. Awesome video.

Its always fun to watch your videos. For me especially the Jazz stuff that youre bringing up. This one comes right after your Barney Kessel tutorial in my ranking. A big Thanks with capital T and lots of love from Germany!

Come sempre, un mito! Grazie

THat's some mighty fine picking...mighty fine.

I love your energy enthusiasm and positivity !! I'll be back for more for sure!! Thanks so much!

Nice job, great lesson!

Maestro Bacci👏👏👍 sono un anziano Italiano tuo iscritto,non capisco l'inglese ma ti fai capire molto bene👏👏sei il migliore ,bravissimo👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

You really make this music accessible Damian.

Great lesson! Thanks!

GREAT lesson, love the chord diagrams, thank you!! And I'm heartened to see all the Emily Remler fans making comments, she was an underrecognized talent.

Thanks much for this very Important video & for the great Enthusiasm in which you are presenting it.

Damien reminds me of Tommy Emanuel. No one alive is as good as Tommy but both are such nice people. Great jazzabilly song! Rock on!

Damian, thankyou! I was feeling a bit discouraged with my current progress in the acoustic bluegrass vain. So I clicked your video, followed along and learned this lesson. It was a shot in the arm! I went back to the other bluegrass song I was trying to learn and it flowed so much better. Nothing like shifting gears to get around guitar road blocks. The success I had with your lesson was transferred to success in bluegrass. I still have work to do on both lessons. But I'm back to having fun!

Damian, I dig your lessons. You present them so well. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic work Damian! I love that chord climb. I can't wait to learn this.

Ya tenía ganas de una lección de jazz, se ha hecho esperar pero ha sido formidable. Muchas gracias maestro.

cooool Damo !!!!!!!!

Another great one, Damian! I found Emily via Herb.

Some sweet chords thrown in that tune, nice one boss and thanks for sharing a bit about her, it seems like we lost a good 'un.😪

Struggle with it! I think it might push me over the edge but I got to learn this one. Sounds amazing. Your tone is nearly as beautiful as your personality. Really appreciating your lessons.

fantastic my friend!!!

very grateful master, congratulations!!!! "BRASIL-CORE!"

Herb 🌿 blues and jazz 🙏

Спасибо . Недавно нашел ее уроки по джазу на гитаре ))

Just a suggestion....next to your Rockabilly and Jump Blues DVD's (which are great by the way) how about a Jazz tutorial...we will all be Stompin' at the Savoy........Cheers

Have the same guitar 😎

Well played sir

Emily gave me guitar lessons in New Orleans right after she’d been discovered by Herb Ellis. She taught me Stones and Zeppelin tunes! 🤓🎸

Not only do I like this lesson but also the Tshirt 😊

🎸👍👑👏👏👏Maestro!👍👍👍

Cool lesson Damian. I will be checking out Emily, thanks for the introduction. another cool shirt this week! by the way I actually saw Metallica on the master of puppets tour, I was so lucky to see that, it was at a smaller venue, they hadn’t gotten huge yet. 🤘

Damian you must be psychic...I only saw Emily's incredible playing on Thursday and here it is Sunday and I'm watching this ...bizarre.

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard of her'

Very cool. I'd love to see you do a course for jazz.

KILLER

Love Emily. Fantastic video - great teaching. Thank you. And what a great tone from that Dot! Which model have you got? And can I ask you about your amp/settings? Thanks man!

Can you explain Johnny guitar Smith..space guitar fro the 50s 60s? (Watson?) I'm not sure..dont mean to be distespecfull ..loved that space guitar! .

Hi,you have a beautiful tone, what's your amp?

Great lesson, Damian. Love that tune. Big fan of Herb Ellis as well as Emily Remler. Funny but that turnaround sounds a bit more like Barney Kessel than Herb! ;o) (I know you did a lesson on Barney's version of "Basie's Blues.") I love your rockabilly stuff but jazz blues may be a bit closer to my heart.

hi, great lesson.can you do john mclaughlin-unknown dissodant,or "new york new york"? and young people please don't do hard drugs like smack and coke because u will end up like remler . god bless her,.RIP.she was such a great talent.

and the backing track???

Probably a stupid question, but why are these licks called heads?

"Blues For Herb"... I wasn't sure at first if this was going to be an Emily Remler lesson or if you were trying to work up some sort of trade.

Yes 666 lol ...what do you mean? who exactky kept her down because she seems to have had a pretty successful career in her time
