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

In the playback as I listening these pickups work differently the humbuckers. The Heritage D'a is a brighter sounding guitar acoustically and sounds very different than the Barker. The Barker is a...
I’ve found with the 5 positions and not using open strings, the key doesn’t matter. Put up a clip of you doing it country style with open strings. I’d be interested to hear it. I always like when...
It’s less than half the price of the Peterson StroboClip HD. D’Addario doesn’t appear to publish the accuracy. The Peterson is 0.1 cents for what it’s worth. I’m sure the D’Addario has to be good...
I did a comparison video of a dearmond 1100 reissue and the dearmond 1100 original pickup. First of all this was pain in the ass in youtube and I am a horrible editor so please be patient. The first...
But the thing is, I realized after playing it in the first position with open strings that Ab is the toughest key to play this tune in.
I mean, duh!, I should have transposed it to a different key...
