Scale suggestions:


D minor pentatonic scale - D F G A C

D minor blues scale - D F G G# A C

D minor scale - D E F G A Bb C

D harmonic minor scale - D E F G A Bb C#


You can treat the A7 as an altered chord and use the altered scale:

A altered scale - A Bb C C# Eb F G

The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of A altered scale are the same as those of Bb melodic minor scale :)


The basic arpeggios will come in useful:


Dm - D F A

Gm - G Bb D

Bbmaj7 - Bb D F A

A7 - A C# E G
