To effectively play along, focus on the D Minor scale as your foundation.

  • Intermediate: Work on transitioning between the D Minor and F Major scales seamlessly, especially during chord changes to enhance soloing skills.
  • Advanced: Experiment with modes like D Dorian and incorporate bends, slides, and legato for more expressive rock leads.
