What are these passing tone scales you refer to?

Thanks

as a headling jazz vocalist I find that the gminor seven flat five is fine,... but you should really play more open position chords ..... ...Seriously this is a a great post and a good idea. Looking forward to more like it fro the Clay!

Of course they are enharmonic. But many people starting out try to use the "A flat major scale"approach and end up accenting A flat chord tones. So, yes, if you can hear all the notes re oriented to a Gmin 7 flat 5 chord ok. But, why not learn the arpeggio as a point of reference.

Since Gm7b5 is the leading tone of Ab major, why not just use Ab scale? Wouldn't that simplify it?

@JazzChordArt Yes it would as long as you don't hang on the Ab root. Also try Bb Dorian, or Eb bebop dominant.
