Chord Phrasing From The D Minor Scale Pattern

The Dm chord scale pattern is the 3th position pentatonic minor. This
means when you are playing a Dm chord or a Dm style barre chord you can
add notes from the Dm scale pattern with relative ease, because the scale
pattern is built around the chord pattern. On the left you can see the
scale pattern with the suggested fingerings and on the right is the Dm
chord pattern highlighted.

The examples below are in Gm.
