You are right, a guitarist can play everything on that loop. If a guitarist is a good guitarist he play the correct note in every chord, but the beginner seeing the title could play the D note in the Am chord.... :-)
Glad you like it. Yes you are right but the reason I suggested D Dorian is for the reason of just trying something different, D Dorian works well with the 4 chords used, Am - F - C - G. But hey, use what you feel works better.
@GuitarNorthampton It's in Am, so that 'D Dorian' is basically A Natural Minor I think (basically playing the C Major Scale. I think you'd only call that D Dorian against a Dm type of chord.
great backing track! I dont know if you actually made it and i dont know if you know anything about the theory behind this but if you do could you please explain why it is that D dorian works so nicely over this? Could you just point out how it relates based on the chord progression and key and what not. Thanks a lot, im just kind of confused. Im trying to find out when i can use the dorian mode. Because on most chord progressions it tends not to work for me so well.
Glad you like the track, yes I made it myself. The reason I suggest D Dorian is that it may not be the usual 1st choice. Some may immediately go straight to A natural minor scale. However, for the reason of just trying something different, D Dorian works well. The 4 chords used, Am - F - C - G can all be built as triads from the D Dorian mode, they are chords V - III - VII - IV. Hope this helps in some way.
@GuitarNorthampton Yes, thank you very much for responding. I completely skipped over the fact that the 4 chords used could be constructed from the notes within the D Dorian mode. I've always used modes in the past but lately I've been trying to gain more theory about them so I know how to apply them more effectively in my solos. I just had to ask you because D Dorian fits perfectly over this. You can't hit a bad note. Thanks again for replying back and like I said this is a great backing track.
Fun to play over

great backing track. But I think that it's a good backing track to
learning eolian or ionian scales. I don't understand you has put the title Dorian ... :-)
