Heavy 70s Rock Jam in D Minor | Major, Minor & Dominant Pentatonics Explained

Fire up the amp and crank it to 11—this week we’re diving into a Stone Cold Heavy 70s Rock groove in D minor. 🎸⚡

I’ll show you exactly how I’d approach jamming over this kind of track using my Pentatonic Way system, blending:

Minor pentatonic for grit and attitude

Major pentatonic for sweet contrast

Dominant pentatonic for that blues-meets-rock spice

You’ll hear it in action first, then I’ll break down how to mix these flavors seamlessly so your solos tell a story instead of just running licks.
