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

I've pulled out of the Antoria.
The top has no braces and instead has a sound post. This was the design prior to the revamp in the later 70's.
The last Antoria I went to buy from that year had...
Hi SetPhasersToSwing.
That's a very kind offer. So far things seem ok. Ebay has the money and if the guitar doesn't show, I should be covered.
The seller did say though that there wasn't any...
Well done Jim.
I'm Glad you could carry the brand on.
I've always found your guitars to look elegant and unique. A testament to your designs.
Cheers to you!
Here's where I am with the tune. This is the loose intro it changes each time I play it followed by the little solo section that I play between verses. Comping with the singer is four to the bar...
Great news! I’ve had three hollowbody guitars: a 1974 Gibson ES-175, a 2002 Heritage Eagle, and a Soloway Gosling single 15. I just let go of the Gibson and I’m inclined to sell the Eagle if I can...
