In this lesson, I'll show you three scales (and accompanying licks) to use over the V7 chord in a ii-V-I progression. The altered, half-whole diminished, and whole-tone scales are superb devices for creating tension over the V7 chord to create a smooth resolution back to the I chord.

I really enjoy your lessons. A convenient way to think of the Altered scale is as a hybrid of diminished and whole tone.

I don't know why but your method of explaining stuff just 'clicks' for me. I got curious after your Sterling Cutlass CT50 demo and so far your lessons have been super valuable to this rusted up, self taught guitar player. Thanks

I have been experimenting with finding pentatonic scales within these three scales. That way I can, on the fly, throw in a semi-blues lick using the pentatonic scale and then come back to the CM7. So rather than trying to remember these slightly complicated scales I can just throw in a quick lick and come back to the CM7 or Dm7 anywhere in the progression. For example, in G. Dm7 (IV) Am pentatonic, Abm pentatonic (V7), CM6 (I). So I am thinking: slide up 2 frets and play a half measure lick, slide down a fret and play a half measure lick, slide down a fret and play the CM6 or CM7. I fully expect to get flamed on this comment.

Hello sir. Can i apply this also in bass?

@JameyArent 4 ай бұрын

Sure! It applies to any instrument. The notes are the same notes in relation to the chord regardless of instrument.

I was just thinking, can you build a half whole diminished off of a dim7 arpeggio? Like if a chord says G7b9, I like to play a dim7 arpeggio off the flat 9 and just play with phrasing. But if you add a half step in front of the chord tones and a whole step back, I think you're playing the half whole. I don't know, I'm not in front of my guitar haha. I'm doing this in my head.

@JameyArent Жыл бұрын

That’s the idea! Over a fully diminished chord you’d whole-half instead of half-whole with the root being the root of the diminished chord. So this G half-whole would be Ab whole-half if you started it on Ab to play over an Ab diminished chord.

Great lesson. Could you play the altered scale in example 1 over a plain g7 chord?

@JameyArent Жыл бұрын

@@talisman964 thanks! Sure! Even if the band isn’t playing a G7 altered, by playing the altered scale, you’re implying those altered sounds over the stock G7 and creating/implying that extra tension.
