The Epiphone Emperor has always been a true bargain of a guitar and there's still a lot of them to found on Reverb, Ebay and the like. It's great to hear it being played so nicely.
I have never been disappointed with Epiphone guitars. For what they cost I can massage them to suit my taste and needs. Rich again proves the tone is in the hands, not some dream world rare exotic, made from unobtainium by the light of the moon.
Than You so very much for this interpretation. I was pretty good friends with Astrid for several years. We used to hang out two or three times a week, drinking morning coffee, and talking about anything that came to mind. You are the only guitarist that I’ve heard playing this gorgeous Jobim tune using secondary melodic lines along with the melody line. (‘Tom’ would have loved it). Very few know about this type of secondary harmonic motion while playing the melody. Yours is marvelous and Astrid would have dug it. I did a stint with Stan Getz because of my knowledge of Bossa and later it transcended into many opportunities down the line. Yes, to quote from a 70’s guitarist such as myself, your interpretation was “Bitchen!”
Thanks for the comment and the kind compliment! You made my day!! That's really cool that you knew Astrid so well and thank you for noticing the secondary harmonic motion! I appreciate your comment dearly!
I had a JP Emperor back in the early 90s. It was a very nice guitar for the money. Back then it was about $500.00 if I remember right. Girl from is a great song. I like to use melodic minor (my favorite scale) quite a bit when improving on it. I do as similar reharm to the one you showed too. Sounds great Rich.

I never heard a Joe Pass Ibanez sound better.
WOW…another GREAT arrangement Rich!!! Yes, it is a great budget jazz box, that sounds fantastic…it DOES NOT sound budget!

Wonderful! I love it! Thank you Rich! Have you a guitar Method? Jazz Workbook?
Well, when you play/say it like that, it’s a great standard! Nice harmonies👏👍😁
Great playing. And such a great guitar and such a low price . It's a worry free gigging guitar.
Just Beautiful.
The Joe Pass Epiphone was my first jazz guitar. I love it. Of course mine doesn't sound like Rich's!!!

Muito lindo!
you know my guitar teacher could make any guitar sound great. Which is what you do now that's a decent sounding guitar.
Hi rich...you sound great as always.
Is that an ebony fret board?
Thank you in advance.
Rosewood.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I thought that joe has had a rosewood fretboard that looks like it's ebony they might've upscaled it a little bit
