Rock improvisation in D minor
The D minor pentatonic scale (position 1) works over this entire rock grid Dm-Am-G-C: the D minor key stays the same from start to finish despite the four different chords.
Tips
Target the root or fifth of each chord on the first beat of its bar (D and A over Dm, A and E over Am...), then fill in the rest with the remaining scale notes.
