I was given a tip that the minor pentatonic scale works really good for trance bass. For my song I am trying to use the D minor pentatonic scale. Which uses the white notes, D-F-G-A-C-D.

If it was a D major scale I would have no problem writing a chord progression, using a mixture of I,IV, and V chords intermixed with minors etc. However since this pentatonic thing has me confused. I dont even know where to start. I cant figure out which chords to play to back up this scale.

I tried using minor chords but some of them use sharps and flats, which are not included in the D minor pent scale so I dont know what to do. Unless it doesnt matter that the sharps and flats are in the scale?

Any help would be great.
