Another rare chance to hear and see Emily, worth buying for end message aloneJun 16, 2008
By David J. Simmonds

First of all, both Emily Remler Hot Licks DVDs are worth buying for their moving end messages and introductory performances alone.
After watching these DVDs you realize what a tragedy her death in 1990 at age 32 was and will probably want to seek out her CD's; some of which are unfortunately out of print.
Both DVDs appear to have been recorded around the same time and I suggest buying both since they cover quite diferent material.
This Jazz and Latin DVD makes a point of having metronome on 1 and 3 for Latin feel, as opposed to 2 and 4 of swing as covered in Bebop and Swing DVD.
There are more musical examples in this DVD and booklet, with plenty of licks and a clear explanation given for playing over 'Type 1' and 'Type 2' dominants; play Melodic minor from 5th for Type 1 (non-resolving) and play Melodic minor up half step for Type 2 (resolving). Some of you will know this is same as Lydian-Dominant and Altered, but Emily gives great explanations of 9 and 13 natural tensions, #11 spice and avoiding 'whitebread' sound by not starting on root.
There are a lot of pearls of wisdom and good suggestions throughout DVD and I found myself scribbling notes in the included booklet; for example 'think melodies not scale', Montgommery's heaven sound, dark to light, going home.
Part of end message in Jazz and Latin DVD is '..wanted to share some of true feelings about music, surpasses chords, technique, electronics and instrument itself, what thing is really about, be a individual, express and find own spirit, ...outlet and form of therapy, ...be an acompaniest - get ego out of the way...' Hopefully you can hear message, learn something and be entertained by this DVD.

Very Important Jazz theory lessonAug 23, 2010
By Ed G
"Minister & Musician"
I really liked this DVD. First and foremost, Emily Remler is a great teacher. I've gleaned a lot from her videos and I still watch them. In this video, you first learn the CORRECT way to play bossa nova. I've seen so many people play this simple style incorrectly, if they could only hear Emily teach it, they would get it in 5 minutes! Then she teaches the CORRECT way to play samba rhythm. Next, she gets into how to use the jazz minor scale which is, in my opinion, PRICELESS! I've learned so much from her lesson that it's the easiest explanation I've ever seen. I've heard other people talk about the "modes of the jazz minor scale". And that is what she essentially teaches but she teaches it in such an accessible way. I would recommend this video to guitarists and jazz instrumentalists alike, at least those that want to learn how to use the jazz minor scale. it's worth the $25... and then some!
Excellent lessons from Emily!! Highly recommended!Feb 12, 2012

This DVD is great!! Her lesson on Bossa Nova alone is worth the cost. This DVD made me go back and look at her Bebop and Swing Guitar DVD, which made me appreciate both DVDs all the more.
The other lesson on here that's really good is her Jazz minor scale lesson over Dominant 7th chords. Want to play like Wes Montgomery? Check out her take on playing over Dom 7th chords.
I am very happy I bought this DVD and highly recommend it to anyone serious about jazz guitar playing. Even if you're an Advanced player already, you might get some fresh ideas and a different view after watching this DVD.
Extraordindary player and teacherDec 07, 2011
By Roger Yepsen
It's rare that reviewers of guitar lessons get emotional in praising the teacher, but Remler seems to inspire that level of response. With her steady gaze and no-nonsense New Yorker's dialect, she lays out the basics-- but not too basically-- of fingerstyle jazz. On this DVD, her version of the bossa nova How Insensitive is nicely worked out (for those of us, like the late Remler, with small hands), and you can visit Scribd for a transcription of that piece.
