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...

Spot on. I was lazy and thought I might find a buyer with limited effort. I'm preparing to craft proper listings in the next week or two as I get more serious about selling these. I will be listing...
Having a looper, a pencil and some staff paper along with the ability to write music will be a big help. As everyone has mentioned at the end of the day it is what sounds best to your ear. Having the...
I recently purchased both of these courses. I do not have all access on purpose….I would never get anything done! So I just buy the courses I want to concentrate on.

I’m sure it’s because of the relative rarity of a factory black one and they claim the condition is excellent. It looks like Rudy just got one like it that hasn’t yet been listed for sale. It would...
I hear you.
i had a Korean made Epi ES 175 that cost £500.
Wonderful playability and feel, well made, didn’t need any work.
I’m a hack, but every really good guitarist who played that thing...
It could also be just pointing out the 3rd of Bb7 on the first beat, followed by a chromatic run down from the 9th of Bb7 to the b7, with this nice flipping of a and bflat around beat 3 of m13....
Gibson knockoffs are all around these days. Epiphones, Sire, Yamaha, even Harley Benton..
A Gibson is a very luxury item, but an Epiphone with a bit of work is just as good to play music. Which is...
About two years ago I applied to my local GC. When I went in for the interview, I explained to them that I'm a huge gear nerd and I love helping people with purchases. I have a ton of experience...
I like GC, and mostly for the return policy. I've never had any hassle with a return.
At my local GC the staff members are musicians. They don't necessarily know much about the products, but I...
Thank you for the reply. I would love to learn how to read standard notation. Do you have any books you recommend to learn? I am an old dog at 53 but I can learn.
It's not rocket science, just harmonize those scales in 3rds and 4ths (6ths are nice too) and practice them. And see the attached files on chord patterns I wrote - I'm half way to a book.
