Dominant 7th Chord Scales

giovanniperin 28 October 2018

Hi vibes friend today i'd like to talk about my favorite scales for plaing over Dom 7th chords. I'm not a big fan of modes and scales in general because I tend to think about the tonal area when playing a song (especially simple standard song) but when I play over dom 7th chords and I want to express some tensions I use one of those scales:

1. Altered on C7alt (Melodic Minor starting from the 7th degree of the scale)
e.g. C altered scale is a Db melodic minor starting from C)

2. Symmetrical on C7b9 (Half tone, Whole Tone)
