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!!!

Heritages, Gibson Citations, etc, can't say I've ever seen a figured wood guard I like against spruce tops, they just stick out and look out of place aesthetically. I tend to think if Gibson had used...
During my last year selling guitars, I seem to recall us getting an IBG 335 in stock and it being unnoteworthy, but I might be misremembering.
I wouldn't categorically shy away from Chinese-made...
I agree but why waste a perfectly good guitar, Im originally from N. Jersey where (in my day) a golf club was often kept just inside the door but nowadays I keep a 40v cordless weedwacker within...
I do a solo jazz guitar gig every Saturday with a Bud 6 and either a Les Paul or a Strat. The answer to your question is yes.
But make sure to use a wedge....
