THE WHAT WAS & THE WHAT IF

Composer/Arranger: Lindsay Straw

Key: D

Tuning: Drop D

How many permutations of diatonic D major melodies and chord progressions can one come up with in a lifetime? Here's another one that started as a demo ditty, and I almost let it slip into the ether since it felt so similar to another of my D tunes, "The Cardinal's Path." But friend, Patreon supporter and student Rohit requested a transcription for this one, so I thought I'd develop it a little further and turn it into a full fledged tune of its own!
