Scott Henderson is a very good jazz/blues player and fully understands countless improvisational concepts; however, Coryell is even more experienced and knowledgeable in the jazz idiom. I'd follow Coryell - given a choice.

Thank you so much, Larry. This is very helpful in phrasing...although I am pretty familiar with all you present, it is wonderful to hear and see your detail, style and sound. Thanks again!

low key, i've met him. Not a wig.

@guitarsurfer2010 That's exactly why this scale is applied in Dom7 situations. (Plus many more) Moreove, you need not start on any paticular degree of the scale either. What I ultimately ended up with after a few years of using this scale, was the sound. Think tension-then release. That's the jazz minor can do anywhere on the neck in any key. Altered scale: = altered 5's and 9's. with correct chord tones.

"For knowledge, I'd lean toward Coryell."

And for overall "technical ability" as well. Even the biggest dummkopf would notice such a major detail. If you haven't arrived at this point yet -- then you need to keep learning, living, and playing. Cheers
