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...

Yeah, can you post a picture or two of the bridge/saddle so we know what we're talking about? If you mean that the saddle is *leaning* towards the nut that is not normal and can indeed cause...
If anyone here is still looking for a Sadowsky Jim Hall, I have a violin burst in excellent condition that I'm looking to offload. I would like to sell for $4700. It is in great shape, I just don't...
Yes I've seen the 200 going for less than the 120s...the slimmer body and double cutaway is very interesting (though I would presumably still need a pickguard) and I'm not sure how much different...
If you have two sound sources and hypothesize that one is more compressed than the other (in this case, a guitar plugged into both channels of the bud with an ABY pedal; one channel with input gain...
Wine "Rustoleum" Red and Ebony are the cheap Gibson finishes. No impact on tone or playability. But they are the lowest cost finish and hence you should not pay too much for them. Natural costs the...
The open string and 12th fret harmonic will always be in tune with each other. The 12th fret harmonic should also be in tune with the same string fretted at 12th fret. Is that the case?
RP,
My guess is that it allows you to match the signal strength coming into the input while the output from the gain to the volume is fixed. My pickups are hot so I keep my input gain at around...
Thanks for this. I don't think I understand the difference between preamp gain and level control. Apparently, the level control doesn't affect the sound in the way a preamp gain control does. Is...
/methinks the L5 really has become the Golf of the guitar world - there are so many different variations that are usually so far from the original that one wonders why Gibson still have other model...
