Feb 25, 2015 at 8:41 comment added Matt L. The scale over the A7#5b9 is an A altered scale (i.e. Bb melodic minor). Of course this is the same as a G locrian 2, but since the root is A, it is A altered.
Feb 25, 2015 at 6:40 comment added Rockin Cowboy If you are soloing over a particular chord or in a particular key, should the notes contained in whatever scale you use, all be in the key your song or chord is in? Or can you mix notes from random scales in jazz?

Feb 25, 2015 at 5:41 comment added Costagero I think that's right, but please note: There always are clearer scale choices, especially if you got the harmony analyzed. If you want diatonic tensions and known dissonances, you can always stay in the "easy" side
Feb 25, 2015 at 5:39 comment added DarkCavalryman @RockinCowboy : Do all the modes and scales I used in example contain the same notes? No, please search on internet to know different scales and modes. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question, or you have any further question.
Feb 25, 2015 at 5:38 comment added DarkCavalryman @RockinCowboy : What factors might influence which scale would be a good fit in a particular situation? I am still learning, but I think which scale to choose on a chord depends on what color your want to give. All you need is trying different possibilities and have an impression of different sounding.
Feb 25, 2015 at 5:37 comment added DarkCavalryman @RockinCowboy : I was indicating the scale he has chosen for A7#5b9 at 35:48 is half diminished scale. I seldom see the chord and the scale, so I searched and provided as a reference. He played an entire plus partial of the scale, because in his practice method, he starts from the root and ends at the highest note what he played for the chord.
Feb 25, 2015 at 4:10 comment added Rockin Cowboy I am intrigued by your answer and wish to better understand. Is he playing notes derived from the half diminished scale or the entire scale? Seems like he is suggesting using partial scale in the vid - based on the notes in the chord. What factors might influence which scale would be a good fit in a particular situation? In other words if you could use a C bebop or A blues or C ionian or lydian - what would make you choose one of those options? Do all the modes and scales you used in example contain the same notes - just starting in a different place?
