About Emily Remler from Wikipedia:
Born in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,[1] Remler began guitar at age ten. She listened to pop and rock guitarists like Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter. At the Berklee College of Music in the 1970s, she listened to jazz guitarists Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Herb Ellis, Pat Martino, and Joe Pass.[2]
Career
Remler settled in New Orleans, where she played in blues and jazz clubs, working with bands such as Four Play and Little Queenie and the Percolators[3] before beginning her recording career in 1981. She was praised by jazz guitarist Herb Ellis, who referred to her as "the new superstar of guitar" and introduced her at the Concord Jazz Festival in 1978.[2]
In a 1982 interview with People magazine, she said: "I may look like a nice Jewish girl from New Jersey, but inside I'm a 50-year-old, heavy-set black man with a big thumb, like Wes Montgomery."
Her first album as a band leader, Firefly, gained positive reviews,[3] as did Take Two and Catwalk. She recorded Together with guitarist Larry Coryell. She participated in the Los Angeles version of Sophisticated Ladies from 1981-1982 and toured for several years with Astrud Gilberto. She also made two guitar instruction videos.
In 1985, she won Guitarist of the Year in Down Beat magazine's international poll. In 1988, she was artist in residence at Duquesne University and the next year received the Distinguished Alumni award from Berklee. Bob Moses, the drummer on Transitions and Catwalk, said, "Emily had that loose, relaxed feel. She swung harder and simpler. She didn't have to let you know that she was a virtuoso in the first five seconds."[4]
Remler married Jamaican jazz pianist Monty Alexander in 1981; the marriage ended in 1984.
Her first guitar was her brother's Gibson ES-330. She played a Borys[5] B120 hollow body electric towards the end of the 1980s. Her acoustic guitars included a 1984 Collectors Series Ovation and a nylon string Korocusci classical guitar that she used for bossa nova.
When asked how she wanted to be remembered she remarked, "Good compositions, memorable guitar playing and my contributions as a woman in music...but the music is everything, and it has nothing to do with politics or the women's liberation movement."
Remler bore the scars of her longstanding addictions, including dilaudid, and heroin[4] (which is believed to have contributed to her death).[6][4] She died of heart failure at the age of 32[1] at the Connells Point home of musician Ed Gaston, while on tour in Australia.

Emily what a loss and she and her heart influenced me quite a bit though I cannot play that well in jazz She will always be a part of who I think about when I want to play jazz
Found your lessons recently and, yesterday, joined your Patreon. As others have said, I like the accessible discussion of theory and choices that comes with the lessons, not just "put your index finger on this fret and play this note here," like so many others on RUclips. One small wish: the audio volume of your explanations on some of the lessons is little low. Wonder if there is a way to turn it up a bit. Thank you for the excellent material.
Thanks Pavel! I recently purchased a new audio mic, so future lessons should have louder voice audio
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar thanks for the response. Currently working on mastering your versionof the comping for autumn leaves. I learned the easier version a while ago, but this one is a lot better. I like the concept of voice leading in comping. I'm completely self-taught, so it's slow going, but "the journey is the destination."
Wow, what beautiful touch and swing you have. I watched your other full solo for this song and loved it! Is that a Supro Blues King amp in the background?
Thanks Steve. The amp is a Vintage 47 va185G www.vintage47amps.com/VA-185G/
Look forward to learning this. Beautiful Epiphone. How does it compare with your Gibsons?
It is just as nice as any if my Gibson's. In fact it's nicer than a few of them!
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar Thanks so much for replying. Wow, I must try one of these.

Thank you
Can I get the blues for herb on tablature? And possibly the theory on tablature like chord progression and scales etc? If you don’t do you know where I would find it? Thank you
Hey are you happy with Epiphone? I am looking for one too and was wondering how the playability and sound is?
It was a nice guitar. Played great and sounded great, but I ended up getting a Gibson Byrdland and selling the Epiphone
hello, chris. when you’re improvising over bebop tunes do you consciously think of what notes to target? knowing the bebop approach, i tend to think rather than play (chord tones on the strong beats and chromatic notes on the off beats) it’s a bit of a math for me.
I am not thinking theory or note names at all while I am playing. Everything is pictures on the neck that correspond to sounds. I see visual pathways that connect the harmony.
wow super1111
Thank you!
Audio is pretty low on this one, Chris
What model of reverb?
