Good morning all. This is a favorite of mine and a tune we've done for years. So, I sat down last night and took a stab at recording it. "If I had you" is a standard, recorded by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, etc over the years, it seems there are a zillion songs with the same title so I didn't want folks to think they were going to hear a more modern song from Adam Lambert/Dire Straits/etc.
The melody is played on a Kanilea K1 Walnut Tenor in low G tuning, the rhythm is played on a Neil Gardiner Concert guitar (Engelmann Spruce/Cocobolo) and a Kanilea K3 Super Concert (koa) in re-entrant tuning. If you have them, headphones are better as the guitar part gets lost on computer speakers.
I hope you enjoy it.
