Thank you for sharing. I very much like your nice and calm way of teaching. One quick tip that I sometimes use is that the altered scale is the major scale of one half step below, but with a sharp root. So the C-altered scale would be the major scale of B, but with C instead of B.
I think that this was a perfect lesson, especially for someone introduced to this idea for the first time (I'm sure it's the tip of the iceberg for applications of this). From theory, context/applications, more examples and practicing together. Thank you!
As a "jazz beginner" I'm always confused by the 2 or the 9th, etc. Why not simply say that the scales notes in the first octave are 1-7 and then the 'extensions' in the next octave are 9, 11, 13. Surely that would make things much less confusing - at least for us beginners!
I appreciate your take. But it would be B Locrian only in the Key of C. Where as it’s being taught in this video in the key of Db so we can start on the C note which would be CLocrian. . . Right?

my only question: in the C altered scale we don't have an F, so why are you resolving C7 on F major ?

Don't think so. It's better to learn the correct naming scheme.
Locrian is easier to teach if you show it starting on B.
