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

What thin line Gibsons were made over the years? I know I've seen pictures of a couple of L5 thin lines. They may have been custom made, I don't know. Also ES 125 and Byrdland. BTW, I didn't mean...
This looks to be super impressive to create great field recordings anywhere that automatically sync to the the 4K video on your iPhone—the world’s smallest condenser mic in a tiny block form that...
Probably not (unless he made one to fit the available space) but a Kent Armstrong single coil floater, floating CC from Pete or even a DeArmond 1100 would probably fit.
Yeah, I have never bought, nor refused to buy, any guitar just because of the headstock. I'm unable to see how the headstock shape affects tone or playability. If that were on the list, it would be...
Thank you for all the info Rickco!
I will give it some more thought and will let you know what i will go with. I have a Tele so I am looking for something different. The D'Angelico I'm looking at...
You could play the bottom open E string in many of those chords since it's the 3rd of the chord...
I made an arrangement of Blue in Green that is mostly open string chords, see the attached.
The trio gig went great. We have another booked in June, I'm going to try for more trio stuff. It's fun to be uncomfortable.
You're only 6 songs away from 2 45 minute sets. I do 9 song sets...
The Interweb notation for grips is durn handy. Those are:
x24030
x34000
8x9970
x.10.10.11.0.0
etc...
I had to guess about open versus not played strings.
