johnnyguitarcarson: There is no such chord as an A min alt. It is an A7 altered. The full scale is A Bb C Db Eb F G A those being 1 b2 b3 3 #4or b5, #5 or b6, b7 and 8
Root, flat nine, raised nine, third, augmented 4th(sharp 11) or flatted 5th, augmented fifth or flatted 6th, flatted 7th and the octave. Called the diminished/whole tone scale derived the 7th degree of the melodic minor.
I have been following Juris' work with Dave Liebman. and it is simply great! I'm glad to see that he is such a generous teacher as well. Thank you for posting!
First time I met theese 4 pentatonics , was in a video of John Scofield "On Improvisation" . The second and Fouth pentatonics are used in dominant altered chords. That also means that in every melodic minor scale we have a minor pentatonic one tone above, to play with and get a killer phrasing.
It´s a very good taste to put this stuff here, congratulations and Thans you!
Probably the most useful short guitar lesson I've ever seen/heard. Right up there with Emily Remler's videos, Larry Coryell's 1980s video, and any of John Stowell's melodic minor lessons.
The legendary guitarist John Macey used to teach this concept 20 years ago. Both John and Vic both studied with Harry Leahey. Harry Leahey was regarded as the guru of jazz guitar. He taught and influenced many of the top jazz guys playing today, vic being one of them.
Sure. That said Vic is amazing!! Very creative, I think the most creative player today. I am good friends with the players of Groove Apparatas, played with them a week ago. Vic just recorded a cd with them a month ago. Check out his live videos here with Groove Apparatus. Great stuff!!

The whole pentatonic suspended superimposition thing really goes back to Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, and their friends in the 60's...

The pentatonic merely plays part of this scale.
An altered chord implies b5, #5, b9, and #9.

that Eb sounds wrong with the Amin altered 7 (it creates a flat5, the form should be Cmaj because it wants to go back to the Amin.
Nothings perfect all the time , and I love your playing Vic
Peace Brother

@johnnyguitarcarson It's actually an A7 alt sound that he is playing the c minor pentatonic over---so the eb is fine.

I am sure Vic himself would tell you these are basics, check out Esmond Selwyn for advanced training
