I love this tune. I used to accompany a friend on clarinet on it before he passed away. The Duke Robillard version that the OP links to is really nice.
Here’s my attempt on solo guitar. I’ve been doing a lot more gardening than practicing lately, so it’s rough. I’ll try to work on finger mechanics and clean it up.
It's been awhile since i last logged in here, but there's a strange synchronicity in that i was just playing
'If I Had You' a couple of days ago, and here it is as this month's standard...
and so, off to the shed i will head, since there are still a few days left in the month!!!
In any case, here's a quick 'baseline' recording, playing the melody and changes from memory, and
without the benefit of my 2nd cup of am coffee:
Hopefully it will get a little better...

I always care about neck shape and size being somewhat ambidextrous,and writing with my left hand. Playing a right handed I’m sensitive to the feel, and having a large enough shape to feel...

All mine are 2 and 3. They both work great. Maybe I slightly prefer 3. Drilling thru the heel cap into end grain is fine as long as you understand proper screw counterbore. The right size drill is...
I have Martin's duo course. It's great. He makes it look effortless.
We refer verbally to the course during our duo practice ( I took notes and discussed with singer ).
I've only played with an organist about twice, and long ago. Just hit me that you guys were tweaking all those switches and stops long before us guys had all the dang stomp boxes!
A functional-harmony perspective might name the note according to how it resolves: #11 resolves up, b5 resolves down.
Of course this won't apply in all situations. Case in point: jazz uses a lot...
So true about first fret. Knowing that just helps us gauge how much taper. My Lehmann is only about 1/32 thicker at 9 than the Borys. But it only tapers about 1/32 down to fret 1 and feels much much...
Piano is going very well. I'll do a piano tune in the next standards thread next week. I tried to quit Hammond but everyone got mad at me and told me not to, so I'm not. So I'm going to keep at it...
I would rather say slightly prefers, we both like them both a lot but that night with the setups we used He, I, and several listeners agreed if it was blind listening we would slightly prefer the...
This perspective (anti-enharmonic) is just based on the idea that a single pitch within the domain of a chord should not take two scale degree numerals but be determined as one or the other based on...
