Linking Chord and Scales Exercise! - For 251 Jazz Patterns

http://www.fastpianolessons.com for more help!

This intermediate to advanced lesson covers a great exercise to help you link chords to scales a faster.

I show you the chord and scale for Dminor7, Gdominant7 and Cmajor7. You can apply the same patterns to all other minor7s, Dominant7s and major7s.

There are two possible scales we could use for the G7 chord so I show you G7 and the Gmixolydian mode. (G mixolydian mode goes from G to G on the C scale: GABCDEFG)
I also show you the G altered scale. This scale has a lot of crazy alterations in it and comes from melodic minor scales. It has the notes: G(root) Ab(b9) Bb(#9) B(3rd) Db(b5) Eb(#5) F(b7) G.

My blog members will have access to more of the lessons, songs they want to learn and also feedback from me!

I can't believe I never knew until now that the altered scale is literally a scale made off of altered notes in chords

[JazzChrissPL]

i cant understand the altered scales... on every minor chord we can play dorian scale; on every dominant we play mixolydian, on major we can play ionian what about lydian scales with sharp fourth?? how we create altered chords? G7alt sounds pretty nasty!
