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...

The technical term for what's going on with "genre" is called lexical ambiguity or polysemy--multiple senses for a single word. Singer-songwriter (or singer-songwriter-guitarist, SSG) is a "genre" in...
If your looking at the D'Ang B you might want to consider the Guild T50. I just got a Dynasonic model, quite happy. allusedguitars on ebay (yeah i know...) still has a couple open box for $750. Not...

You can't determine how it sounds out in the audience from how it sounds to you playing on stage. If you adjust so it it sounds perfect to you on stage, the audience is likely being punished with...
Yes, the first recordings of many of those Carmichael compositions were released as instrumentals. If such instrumental recordings sold well, in order to increase royalties, lyrics would be added...
Thanks, Stan!
Unfortunately, this all came late in life. I actually started the project in 2007 but had to wait until 2016 for the first decent guitar micro-amps to be available in Europe. Today,...
