It's called the Harmonic Minor scale.

Jerry Bergonzi calls that scale the 2nd Dorian Bebop. The other one being with the regular b3 and natural 3.

is there some special breathing technique while you play jazz-guitar? i observed that on some videos: the guitarists are often playing when they breathe out but stay quite when they breathe in...

@powersack ...not really, I just sing the improvised lines in my head (sometimes humming them quietly). it's like a sax player....you have to breathe at the end of a phrase!

what u are playing is phrygian dominant. if u wanna call it like that but is basically C harmonic minor, the reason of this is the raise seventh on the 5 chord of the normal natural minor scale... u could also play altered scale.... which is melodic minor starting from a half step above the root of the dominant chord u are playing, in this case for G7 u would play Ab melodic minor

What you are saying it is correct if we were targeting each chord separately, here I was trying to find a scale that contains notes that work on all 3 chords. Ab melodic minor (or G altered) contains Db and that does not work on the progression as a whole.

When you talk about Phrygian dominant I guess you mean in this example I would be using G phrydom on a Cm 2-5-1. The 3rd of the 5 chord (B natural in G7) would be the cause of the raised 7th (or natural 7th) in this case added to C natural minor (B natural). Thanks for your comment!
