I was lucky enough to study with Emily back in the mid-80s out in Brooklyn, found an ad she had run in (I think) the Village Voice. As much as playing, we'd have coffee and talk about music, players, random BS, etc. This was after I had gone to GIT (now MIT) out in Los Angeles. I played a more loose Texas blues mess of a thing and her influence really had an impact. As much as I loved her electric playing, it was amazing (that word gets overused I think, but not in this case) just sitting there with her and hear and see her play her Ovation, having some dopey flavored coffee :) Damn, a guy could get emotional thinking about that! Maybe I'm biased but I think she was close to breaking out to a wider audience. In addition to her playing... she was an incredibly nice person. I recall more than once I'd play some cliched licks and she'd sort of laugh and say "That's the stuff people want to hear". I'd look at her half-embarrassed because she was just so good, obviously miles above me, I didn't initially get what she meant. It's great to see and hear her influence is still here. Thanks for this video!
What a great story. I’ve considered directing a fan documentary about Emily and I’d love to,get some extra insight you might have about Emily in the future.
Thank you for sharing your story of your time with Emily. I fell in love with her playing in the '80s too. Some days I loop her recordings over and over. She inspired a lot of us and sadly departed too soon. Thanks again!
@@ericschwartz9982 As good as her playing was, she was just such a down to earth person in my experience with her over that one summer. One of those good collection of memories.
@@ottomattix86 I see her as more than 'a person playing.....etc.' She's a young person who obviously eschews the current mindless trend. She isn't interested in the 'wooba wooba wooba' crowd...those who simply make juvenile rhymes and talk to a beat. She is disciplined and reveals a quality commitment to real music. It's disappointing to me that people missed the deliberate overstatement. You make a little joke, and it shoots right over their heads. It seems that some folks simply aren't very bright.
Wow, that young lady will be on the next wave of Jazz artists! Such great talent and promise of things she’ll develop on her own. Can’t wait to hear more about her in the future!
Wow! How smoothly she switches from using a pick and then palming it.. If you were not looking for it you might not even notice. To do that and make it look effortless and not disturb the rhythm or dynamics or timbre a hair, is certainly not easy! Off the charts talent and work ethic to accomplish so much at her age. I love Emily Remler, though we never met. I credit her VHS videos - a decade before getting the excellent Nelson Faria book, and after learning Charlie Byrd stuff by ear, with giving me a real introduction to chord melody playing in the Bossa Nova style. Her boyfriend (for a while) - Larry Coryell - had a huge influence on me as well. They both had a fresh sound. Cool that they appreciated each other on may levels.
This is lovely and so is everything Wes ever played. But people pick different kinds of music… They find different ways to express their soul… No need to put down the way others use it… We just feel things differently… I like Van Halen,Jimi Hendrix, as well as Bill Evans, Wes, Django, and Beethoven and everything… People expressing themselves is always a good thing…
I have nothing against modern techno music but I think Dominyka-- like Wes before her -- reminds us here of the fundamental challenge of the musician's art: to confront the instrument.
wow nice. I was fortunate to see/hear Emily at The Clearwater Jazz Festival just after I moved to Florida. She did a guest shot on stage with John Schofield. It was magical.
As someone who deeply loves Wes Montgomery and plays with my thumb a lot as well let me say just how much I appreciate you and your dedication. I could hear the Band accompanying you in my mind, and your playing was flawlessly in time with them.
I wouldn't despise it, no. Unfortunately I didn't say so (to keep my statement short) but i meant to compare her performance with that of other female guitarists, not with all guitarists in general. Actually, when I come to think of it, only to those female guitarists who upload youtube videos of their playing and which i happened to watch so far. So, sorry for the confusion and that i hurt your or anybody's feelings.
That bass walk has always been a joy to the ears. Very well played. That right hand playing of yours using your index finger as a pick is something I love to do too, but my fingernail then goes kapput. Thanks for posting.
The reason why there are not many copy videos of Wes Montgomery's performance on TH-cam is because there is no one who can save his performance well. Even his disciple George Benson's 8th octave chord sounds like a different sound than his master's. And this performance was really good.
Great work. It’s so nice and reassuring that there’s hope for the world when you see the youth paying respect to the masters like Mr. Montgomery. Side note I know Wes would have loved your strap.
As a guitar player, I can tell you that that walking bassline on the bottom strings with the chord melody on the top strings at the same time (from about 1:08 to 1:20) is unbelievably difficult. Excellent job.
I think this guitarist has more than earned her own Gibson. Great feel and vibe. It's great to see the younger generation paying homage to such an iconic musician and his music. Well done.
Fantastic job on this West Montgomery song. I just read the life of West Montgomery and he died young but his contribution to music and jazz was exceptional. I think you are the resurrected West Montgomery. Thanks for the video and keep playing.
Now I want say something right off the bat. I've been playing for 25 years and let me tell you sitting up in front of a large audience like that playing unaccompanied Wes tunes with no band behind you takes a lot of courage and conviction. I respect that sh*t. There are a million other styles of music this guitarist could be performing here, such as original jazz, classical guitar pieces...none of that would be as difficult or impressive as what they've chosen to do.
Lovely feel & Precision. Good to see a young guitarist play "clean" on a Les Paul. Gibson & Les Paul invented that instrument in '52 for "clean" tones. Overdrive surfaced with the blues rock players in '60s. 12 months ago I purchased a Les Paul Tribute to play "clean" jazz- pop style. One of the LA Tonight Show "sub" guitarists in '70s played a Les Paul in big band. Nice to see LP's employed by young guitarist using no distortion!
You can't hear the amp breaking up (with a bit of overdrive) during some accented chords? The neck pickup (burst/pro bucker can't remember) does render a milder overdrive, however. It's obvious he invented it for "clean" tones. First off, overdrive wasn't too much of a 'thing' at this point, and still very much part of the experimental side of music from musicians pushing musical boundaries. Secondly, and most obvious, who would make any serious instrument (made for any period or any music) without it wanting to sound as natural as the instrument has always sounded? C'mon man, your points, regarding clean/overdrive, are silly.
This is so clean it kills 99.999% of bacteria
Pure class 💎
Thank you :)
I’m 68 and as a kid before getting ready for school I listen to his music. Why my passion for playing guitar is so deep. It was Wes who ignited it.
Love to see young people talking musicianship seriously it warms my heart so.

It always great to see young people playing this great music, so perfectly.
It provides hope for the future of music.
Nice. Keeping Wes alive. Not to many can walk that in chords anymore. I am a huge fan. Joe Pass, Carlton and now YOU!
Nicely done
There are people who simply play notes, and there are people who tell the listener a story through the instrument. And I really liked this story)
This restores my faith in humankind.
A bit of a stretch. But she’s good!
@@LordGreystoke ....well, at least my faith in Lithuania.
I’ll give you a hundred bucks for that overstatement, it was a big one.

This came on randomly when I was in my wood shop and it kept me extremely focused while I was working. Love it.
Brava Dominynka! Beautifully played - and thank you, Emily Remler (RIP♥) for a great arrangement!

That model Epiphone is the warmest I’ve experienced. Packed House. Loved it.
Excellent performance , Wes and Emily, great sounding Jazz Guitar
So great!
Thank you :)
No distortion no tricks finally somebody that treats the instrument with respect
And in turn, gains respect!

Wonderful! Love Emily and this does justice to her music and memory
Very tasteful lines, fantastic groove and chords. Wow!!
Six string chords have such depth. She's an amazing player, very cool 😎
Incredible musicianship! Thanks for sharing your fantastic talent.

O my my my...HOW BEAUTIFUL! Wes will always be deep in my heart, and Dominyka, you have truly laid down his tune very well.
Thank you :)
very clean and precise. a pleasure to watch and hear.
Thank you :)
Great job, Dominyka!! Those octaves were spot on!! Great feel and timing! I bet Wes is smilling in Heaven!
So good. Many lessons for any guitarist in this video. Great string muting. Nice tone.
Amazing playing. It's unusual to see this kind of talent in someone so young. Great tone too
You would be surprised how it's not unusual. A lot of young players are going crazy
And it’s a friggin’ Epiphone! 😂
@@mikaelbiilmann6826 These particular Epiphones have a good reputation and are deemed to be well worth the money

it's really nice to her a young female guitarist actually playing music and not only fast

Palming the pic flawlessly
Great dynamic execution
I can't even look at my guitars now...
Very cool. I love seeing younger people keeping this music alive.
Beautiful job. Very inspiring 👏
Not many even know who Emily was. Glad to see another talented player filling the void.

Absolutely wonderful

Real nice swing feel here! It's not easy to play solo like this and make it swing. You rock!
amazing ! you play so cleanly it is a pleasure to listen to
Thank you!!!
CC: Rick Beato. Absolutely wonderful to watch and listen to.
A very talented young lady and as a guitarist myself i tip my hat to her
Love that you got that great Wes thumb strumbing sound, very well done.
Excellent Dominyika!
Thank you!!
