Rock improvisation in D (Drop D, initiation) New

Level 2 rock ~100 BPM

A slower, more repetitive version of the previous Drop D grid, ideal for a first approach to improvising in this tuning with the D minor pentatonic scale (position 1).

Tips

Each chord lasts two full bars here: use that time to build a longer phrase before the change, rather than reacting chord by chord like on a faster grid.
