hello matt. First of all I want to thank you for sharing such a good lesson

in this lesson. over chord C7 play the Dmaj7#5 Gbmaj#5 Bbmaj7#5 .(these three augumented scales ，they are the same notes) A perfect combination of the three .the C bebop dominant .C Lydian b7 and C diminished scale !Or I think is too complicated.

[MattOttoJazz]

@jazzway Yes, all 3 Major 7 #5 chords are from the same classical augmented scale... this is another way to conceptualize the same group of notes. Thanks for checking it out.

This reminds me of something that Jimmy Halperin would play. Really far out phrase. Time to hit the shed.

[MattOttoJazz]

@rubberbandsax Thanks! I really enjoy Jimmy Halperin's improvising... great player.

HEY MATT, WHERE CAN I GET A TRANSPOSED (PDF) VERSION OF LESSON 7: FOR Eb ALTO SAXOPHONE?

[MattOttoJazz]

@rayray50005000 Visit mattotto.org, all the lesson PDF's are there. Each lesson melody is written out in every key so just start on the key the relates to the alto sax (up a major 6th).

I would love to hear how this would sound with the actual chords so I can hear the effect....

[MattOttoJazz]

@Passion613 Play the chord with one hand on piano and the melody with the other.

Thanx so much for these lessons! You are answering a lot of questions that I have had for years. I have been teaching myself with no direction what so ever! Now if I can just apply these excercises to my improv. Again thanks for taking the time to share what instructors would charge big bucks to teach! EACH ONE TEACH ONE
