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 just don't care, maybe because I used to own a music store and played, probably, hundreds of guitars in a month's time. Since I can rarely play instruments before I buy them, I'm, fortunately, able...
FYI the latest gen of the Blu no longer has a switchable send level in the loop. But I agree with you, most of the time I prefer my pedals in the loop rather than in front of the amp.
I sourced the woods for this one when John was going to build my guitar, after many calls all over the country I found 3 great sets of maple and 3 great sets of Adirondak spruce. I had a hard time...
You also need to take account for the nut width when looking at above specs. 1&11/16” vs 1& 5/8” nut width makes a huge difference on how much larger the same shape can feel.

Is a common major7 voicing both with 5th and #4. In the example voicing it's Cmaj7. You bar the first finger slightly at an angle to get the 3rd and 2nd fret for the bottom and...
I got a new Eastman AR910ce (!) which has an endpin jack but not a strap button. I wish to have a new one installed and am wondering (1) where to place it and (2) which one I should purchase. So I am...
I got lucky, not only did I get to borrow the Starfire but a really good player came over last night so I got to compare listening from audience perspective. Unfortunately the pickups are different...
As I've said before, I think the LJ needs to be tilted to get the best sound, taming the bass and slight boxiness I hear when it's flat on the floor. I tilt mine using a wedge, and in that position...
Yes, if you play an acoustic archtop, the port is a very good thing. It fills in those lower midrange frequencies that you otherwise wouldn’t hear so well.
Are people familiar with this? This helped me get more specific with my neck preferences. I found that I like the large c shape and the 66 oval c shape the best from this. The only thing I prefer is...
Yeah the #11 with a natural fifth is pretty common –– most chords marked 7#11 will sound pretty good with the fifth as long as it's an octave lower.
b5 with an 11th is weird.
But yeah ... on...
Hi All,
I decided to do extensive nitro lacquer drop fill on the back of my 1981 ES-175. There were extensive buckle rash, gouges, etc., and the result came out looking great except for these...
