Here's a little arrangement I worked out of the classic pop tune "A Taste of Honey" in Dmin tuning (same as open D with string #3 dropped 1/2 step). The midi audio plays back with the ending clipped for some reason but you get the idea. This was influenced by the version played by Telecaster master Scotty Anderson mixed with 1/4 cup of the Tijuana Brass version from my childhood. Scotty improvises amazing variations all the while keeping that bass line going.

Not sure I completely understand your question, but no, they are not relatively the same.
Notes in B minor: B C# D E F# G A
Notes in D minor: D E F G A Bb C
D Major is the relative major of B minor so the notes are the same in D major as B minor:
D E F# G A B C# D
F Major is the relative major of B minor so it contains the same notes: F G A Bb C D E

Here a few ideas for vamps on the chords, kind of all tastelessly all crammed together. The syncopated riff is a direct lift from John Mayer's guitar playing. The minor, min-maj7, min 7 to tonic is often called "The minor cliche". It appears in lots of songs like Cim Chim Cheree, as just one example.
