Here is a cool Latin Guitar Jam Track that I think will appeal to fans of all guitar styles. It is a ‘bossa’ style groove, a very common latin-jazz feel. It stays on one chord, Dm7, throughout. Rock players will probably dig playing Carlos Santana inspired licks against this one.

Here are a few scale suggestions:
D Minor Bossa Vamp - Suggested Scales
The E Minor Pentatonic scale is a great substitution against this Dm7 vamp, implying the Dorian mode. The Rule: Against a minor 7th chord, go up one whole-step and play that Minor Pentatonic.

this one is such a good practice with that E pentatonic in there.. i’m just a little confused what vamping is and why the E pentatonic sounds good…
@bluesmike: A ‘vamp’ is a repetitive backing part or progression – often just one or two chords. Perfect for the long, open-ended solos we guitarists love!
The E Minor Pentatonic works as a scale substitution against the Dm chord. Essentially, the scale that might typically fit the chord happens to include all of the notes of the E Minor Pentatonic. Therefore, you can use Em pentatonic as a cool change-up!
I will address this idea more through the site and eLessons.
BTW, thanks for commenting!
hey.. thanks for all the tips, its really been helpful..
So i just learned a new scale, the beebop minor or somethin like that… and i found out that it works ALL over the place…it obviously works in d, but i found that c gives it a weird flare and playing it in e kinda follows the pentatonic but it has more intervals and chromatics… its really cool!
