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...

Again, this is a fingering I'd be prepared to defend academically...
OK, these are fingerings I'm fairly confident of.These fingerings were reconstructed by ear, but if you listen carefully you can hear when Allan is hammering and when he is shifting. Also in many of...
Oh, I don't know, one guitarist gives another the finger, which leads to thinking about other ways to give someone the bird, which leads to thinking about how one might finger one of Bird's lines.......
