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

He was definitely playing through an old Polytone amp with a 15" speaker at the time. He was also using the green Line 6 delay pedal in the late 90's/early 2000's (although both of these recordings...
Lol. Nah.
I knew about 150 at my tops and got around just fine. Got vibed hard once or twice for not knowing something off the beaten path, but not really something I dealt with often.
And...
Don't forget playing opportunities have dried up. Drummer in my band is in his 60s. He used to play hotel gigs 4 times a week in Chicago. There are zero gigs like that now. Hotel will just play...
I found her "Power of 3" album in a box of my CDs today (great album, hadn't listened to it in years) and wondered what she's been up to lately - which led me to YouTube, etc.
Man, I answered OP's question on the first page. Foundational scale work. If he had a grip on that, he wouldn't have to ask the question.
But, as usual, the solution is a lot of work, and people...
