Latin Grooves with Chord Changes

Okay, so let's try to apply these Latin grooves to some chord changes. We did before, we did a little demo of doing the one-six-two-five turnaround. But let's look at something more common. Let's look at a minor style Latin tune. So, we'll say we're in the key of D minor. So we have D minor. Now, to turn around here, we're going to use a flat five chord, a minor flat five. Basically, a diminished. E, G, and B flat, and then an A seven, cause that wants to lead back to the D minor. So we can try both ways. So it's D, D, A. Something simple just doing the fifth. Playing the E without really dealing with that tritone. But I really like the sound of that, so D, D, A, D, E, B flat A. So notice that we use the pickup notes.
