Latin Minor Bossa Guitar Jam Track
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:
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.
