- Getting a firm grip on the so called altered scale can be quite a challenge, especially for jazz guitarists.

Here's a quick and easy tutorial
Here we will build the altered scale (aka super locrian) from the ground up, first by looking at its main alterations: b9 #9 b5 and #5.
This is a super "crunchy" and dark dominant sound.
In the video, we're look at the chord G7(alt) ... as found in a regular II-V-I in C major.
Even, later in the video, we look at this from a C minor perspective: Dm7b5 to G7alt to C minor.
As a reference, the notes contained in the G altered scale are:
G Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F
This is enharmonic to Ab melodic minor, and not a typo. Feel free to look at the Db (i.e. the b5 of G7) as a C# instead, calling it a #4.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro
00:56 - G7 shell
01:05 - Altered notes (4x)
02:02 - Non altered notes (3x)
03:26 - Scale position
04:16 - Fingerings
05:41 - Improv applications and resolving
06:43 - Theory: Ab melodic minor
08:06 - Theory: Db7#11 (tritone)
10:17 - Diatonic / non-symmetrical
11:08 - One-string approach

Thank you too for watching! :)
Great lesson... I'm also a guitar teacher.. It is always gratifiying to see things in a different approach. Thanks Marc, you are a great teacher.
Thanks, hope this helped even as a fellow guitar teacher! :)
Great Lesson Marc!
Glad you liked it!
Great Job as always…. Thanks a lot👏👏👏👏
Thank you too!
Fun Stuff Marc!
Thanks! :)
Dude Thank you so much man!! When I get some time free after this summer of gigging is over, I would enjoy taking some lessons from you. Thanks very much Marc!
That's awesome! Thank you as well :)
Your amazing
Man. I wish I could grasp this stuff. In awe, really. I’m more of a simple player, but I appreciate this material. Even if I can “get” a piece of it, I consider it beneficial as a player. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for tuning in :)
Excellent!🎯
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant. New subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
About different positions: I always teach that fingerings DO NOT change, only the point of starting reference is different. For exapmple C Major starting with the middlefinger wil always have the same fingering pattern wherever you start, you only have to pay attention when going from the G to the B string. The fingering patterns are always the same. When you start on a higher string and run out of strings it simply continues itself when you end on the 1st string and continue on the 6th. This works for ALL diatonic scales AND their modes. This means that if you know C major you effectively know 12 times 7 = 84 modes. Works like a charm.... (By the way: I subscribed to your channel 🙂)
Great lesson Mark….
Thank you!
Thank you so much for share us your work. Now I get the pinche scale
Great! Thanks for watching as well :)
Theory a little over my head, but love that sound and great explanation of how to build the scale 🙏🏼
Glad you liked it!
great lesson. as they all are. thanks for all the teachings. one minor comment. it would be cool to see how you use some lines over some progressions to give a jump start to ideas of our own.... and if somehow I missed that I apologize in advance :)
Great suggestion! Thanks for tuning in :)
Ah! I forgot to mention. Check out the "Cry Me a River" lick. It's an altered lick. The beginning of the song: "Now, you say you're sorry"
greetings from BC Canada ....great lesson ....been playing around with tritone sub chords like G alt - sub in "Db 9" and was experimenting with the G diminished scale over it ....... thanks for showing the Galt scale , it fits so smoothly , the D bebop scale notes flow into the Galt scale tones and....into C maj or E minor pent or A natural minor stuff ..................what would you recomend to follow the G alt notes into the C maj chord on the 2-5-1 ....?
Good question Steve -- Something probably somewhere in the C major family. So pure C Ionian, or even C lydian works. If you're going the pentatonics route, good place to start is Bm pentatonic. And the other choice could be Am6 pentatonic.
@@jazzguitar..... greetings Marc ....messin around with your suggestion on "Am6 "pent and stumbled into the ...melodic minor scale ........laying it over the Cmaj (1), i kinda like the G melodic minor and the A melodic minor ...........??? which would fit better ???.... that F# note seems to be in all of em ???
Sound fin! What amp do you use?
Roland Cube 60 (the 1990's version) and the Fender Blues Junior

EUREKA!
I didn't learn shit . . . and I'm a patient person! It was a Blah, blah solo. Good luck getting people that can understand you. I'd rather buy a book with some text and a bunch of charts. Unfortunately the web has been kidnapped by lots of improvised "instructors" that only want to hear a see themselves.
Its about landing on these lessons at the right time in your development. A year ago this would have flown over my head. Yesterday and today it landed perfectly. I still watched it 3 times, highlighted the notes on a printed blank guitar neck to find the clusters/patterns that i could use to improvise with easy fingering. Good Luck.
Dude.
