Here is a beautiful melody based on a very common chord progression, D minor, C major, B flat and A seventh. This familiar set of chords is used in many styles of  music and is the chord pattern for Dire Straits “Sultans of Swing”, of course you need to speed it up and play with the rhythm! Take your time and try to let each note ring it’s full length. – Michael
