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!!!

Bennedetto A6 is an excellent choice, that's what I would have used. I just saw Barry Greene playing with a trio here in Orlando, with a Benedetto Bravo that had an A6 pickup. The tone was "stellar"...
That's what I guessed (and I wasn't even thinking of analysing everything you play that way, all the time). Seems safe to say that you're matching intervals rather than hearing them.
A few years back I found a site that has movies, but it had commercials - the same ones over and over about every 10 minutes. One day I was so irritated I decided to go out and wash my car instead,...
