God bless Emily, God Damn heroin... I was visiting a friend in NV. back in 85 & we went to see Emily play at The Four Queens hotel with Larry Coryell . What a humbling experience for one that started guitar at 11 back in 1967. It was an inspiration more than now i want to burn my guitar & at that time i saw her i was & am a Rock & Blues player with some fusion in there but i love Jazz & what we saw that evening was jaw dropping good. We miss Emily & Larry for their awesome playing & huge inspiration to anyone that heard either of them let alone together. Amazing musical geniuses. Also was lucky to see her play in 82 .

I know what she means about her room, I struggled, got laid off and spent 6 months in my room learning every scale possible on my bass. And since I play all those scales plus what I've learned out side that room, that room was in 1974. Emily is one super amazing player and hope to jam with her when my time comes. I only wished that she was still here with us.

I often come and listen to this beautiful piece of music. Emily was so gifted and to watch her so immersed in her music is quite inspirational.

[@MrMjp58]

I first heard her on a BBC radio broadcast as I was falling asleep one night c.Feb 84. They played one track and I thought it was just OK [my mistake]. Thank goodness for YT which can preserve her work, even allows us to view her playing at close quarters and show us just how great she was.

[@kennsmith]

She was as beautiful as her music, and her music was as beautiful as her... Peace and blessings to her every living spirit.....

[@salchaos]

Love her music. She was brilliant. She left us too soon to be a legend, but I think she is. Great. Brilliant. Innovative.

[@rocketpost1]

I've never heard this before but what a great tune it is, played impeccably by Emily. It's sad to think what she might have achieved had she not died so young. However, her legacy and place in the music world is assured.

Such sublime sophistication!! Originality!! Sustained thematic development!! Complexity!!. Thanks for posting this excellent piece by Emily.

[@bronzemen34]

just Wow!!!!!!!/........Im constantly reminded just how damn good she was on that guitar!!!......miss your genius Emily! xo R.I.P

[@stevenleek1254]

The more I watch her playing the more amazing she seems

[@billbernhard3582]

A sublime talent lost ! These moments of pure originality and performance are true gifts ! Thanks !

[@sligo405]

She was a great talent.

[@dk60ish]

What a gifted artist, outrageous she wasn't given her due respect while she was still here!

[@paullevine1813]

I agree she was overlooked by listeners but never by guitar players especially those who got introduced to her either through Mags like Guitar Player or by friends that knew who & how great she was . I saw her & Larry Coryell in 1985 & was hooked by the end of her first number. Like i said it was a friend that took me to see that show in NV. We miss them both.

[@billbernhard3582]

Breathtaking ! This is an original composition of hers ! She was more than ready for prime-time ! Check out her CD "This is Me" !

[@doubleotwentyone]

Brilliant stuff and highly original.

[@MavicBush]

I agree! we need to keep the real meaning of having fun when we create... jajajaa loved it..

[@iv2sab]

Thanks for posting. It's great to see Emily playing these tunes.

[@rockettroll1507]

I love her guitar playing and, after studying the lessons she gave joel turnoff, I can tell she was also a good person. But I suspect the hard work and torture she described did a lot to get her to the level where could have this kind of fun.

[@sergebuccelli6246]

Magnifique!! Quelle musicalité !!

[@peteraustin370]

That drug addiction can take from us such a beautiful and talented girl!! Beware the pushers!! Best wishes from Plymouth UK

What an African groove! Real guitar player! Thanks Emilie..rip

More like a Samba feel.

Vibe Brasuca.

Now that you mentioned it- yes indeed that’s what it is! I hear that flavor now, such as in Tommy Emmanuel’s Mombasa.

What a huge loss to humanity and music. Sure hope following Lady musicians, and all Ladies who are striving, do not run into the wall that caused her demise

Awesome video. What tuning is she playing in?

[@DejanTesic]

Could be dropped D.

[@paullevine1813]

Yes , the comment below by Dejan is correct ,she's tuned to Drop D.

love this.

Something like that

[@paullevine1813]

Yes she is in Drop D.

[@Bassic778]

What an amazing talent Emily was! It's sad that she was not given her due credit solely because of her gender. Male chauvinism is very toxic and unjustified.

[@emiliomalbran]

lost ??? , very wrong , she is alive ! , best guitarrist female ever , how " lost " ?

[@paullevine1813]

Hate to tell you the bad news even though your comment is 3 years old . Emily was never lost up till the time she chose to start using heroin . She passed in 1990 from abuse of heroin & probably other opiate use. . The world of guitar lost a giant talent.

[@BlackPrimeMinister]

I'm sad.

I love you Emily. Why’d you have to go??

[@guitarman6742]

Is she wearing the drapes?

[@fkelfnel]

No, I'm pretty sure it's clothes. Not as boring as clothes usually are, so it might be hard to recognise.

[@paullevine1813]

Not really a Guitar Man... Your second stupid comment on her dress, man you will never be as good as she was & I've heard the stuff on your channel .So So would be a fine description . Might it be you would rather be wearing Emily's dress than saying stupid things like this. Your comment is lame & the fact you used it before shows a total lack of respect & a huge amount of jealousy . I pity fools like you but it's really not worth the effort. Bring on your stupid reply .

[@paullevine1813]

@@fkelfnel Pay no attention to this fool ,he's used the same comment before on Emily's clips where she wears this dress. Whitty this guy is not.

[@TheophilusBoone]

Guitar Man is envious, obviously. How else can he attack her?

[@paullevine1813]

@@TheophilusBoone It's the part of YT most of us hate , they can't comment on anything with style just stupidity. This fool i would say does not play guitar as what real player in their right mind would be so cruel & idiotic. Very hard to be jealous when the only thing you can play is with yourself & i do believe this guy can only do that.
