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 don't think many people here play rhythm guitar. I didn't get the difference until I sat in with that big band and there was no room with 12 horns, bass and a piano all playing at the same time. ...
Yeah, rhythm guitar is really it's own thing...I'm always surprised when people don't get that (nobody in this thread, but when I started a thread about rhythm guitar last year people were talking...
I would suggest the "La Bella 413P - Studio" Professional Recording Strings. They are a classical set with a flat winding on the wound strings. Although the winding is flat they still maintain the...
Is that on an iPhone? It doesn't look like that on Android, nor seem to work like that. If I choose to edit a song that has been transposed, it automatically goes back to the original key for the...
I wouldn’t get a Wes for the sake of imitating Wes (same goes for any signature model). I’d get it because it’s a great guitar.
Ive yet to play a Campellone but from what I’ve heard I can see what...
The bit I like to use my pinky on are those little twiddles
Inner urge is good with three fingers too. I’m going to do 26-2 next. All the jazz kiddie favourites.

Yes, Wes played a Sunburst Gibson L-5 (several different ones actually and he played quite a few other Gibson guitars over the years as well), but he never played a Gibson Wes Montgomery. Wes owned...
While I look forward to more news (I find myself in similar thoughts of getting an electric nylon) of the newly acquired guitar it occurs to me that a whole new can of worms may reside in the...
Secret to McCoy Tyner pentatonics Using forward motion
There really is no single secret to McCoy Tyner pentatonics but there is one thing that makes his pentatonics
sound sweeter than the...
All I need. Range is not the problem. Being heard over other players who are hammering at the strings like they are forging steel is. Unfortunately, I rarely play with other players and a well placed...
I prefer 17”, 3 3/8” depth, acoustic archtop guitars and a nice burst finish. The traditional burst WesMo would be my pick out of these three. I would like to play or hear them first before making my...
