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...

I also could do a video comparing a vintage 1000 ( no polepieces ) and a...
Just re-listened to Truth. Man, what a great album. Jeff and Rod should have never split, and maybe they wouldn’t have if they called the band “Truth.” All the other masterpieces Jeff did could have...
Took the electronics out of the 89 Emperor only to discover that this underwound 57 Classic has bridge pickup pole spacing (the SKU from Sam Ash has "BG" in it, which leads me to believe there's a...
It looks like Bachman's guitar collection auction was thoroughly prepared in advance, e. g.
