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...

I bought my Favino having heard and seen Boulou and Elios.
Not easy to source in the UK back then. It was advertised in the 'Banjo Broadsheet' which was a monthly issue of 4 or 5 typed and...
I have been very pleased. I use both channels, one for vocals the other for guitar (usually a 36 L-5 or a Holo gypsy jazz guitar). For the guitars I am using either an ischell contact mic, AT 831b,...
The sad fact is that most of the guitars that are 30+ years old are starting to show signs of aging. Sinking tops, loose bracing, neck twists, fingerboard tail rises, etc... Some of these can be...
No bleed because your amp will be in the way :) It is also a unidirectional mic.
Rather than a Tone Master I’d opt for a real tube amp. A Headstrong Lil King would cover all your bases. Personally...
