Bam! That&#8217;s it!<\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yup! I taught you all that other stuff so that you&#8217;d understand it&#8230; but this is the shortcut I use to play the altered scale!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it can still be thought of as the ascending <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">melodic minor scale<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>, starting and ending on its seventh note. It can still be thought of as the super locrian mode. All that stuff remains the same.<\/p>\n<p>But what I&#8217;m saying is when it&#8217;s time to play and you need to think of an <em>altered scale<\/em> really fast (&#8230;because you&#8217;re playing some type of <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dominant chord<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> with a <em>b9 or #9 or b5 or #5<\/em>&#8230; or combination thereof) &#8212; this trick will do the job!<\/p>\n<p>But let me make it even plainer for you&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n1) If you want to play a particular altered scale, go down a half step. That will be the major scale you&#8217;ll need to know&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>2) Then basically raise the FIRST and LAST notes of that major scale to get your altered scale. The first and last note will be the same note. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So if I want to play a C altered scale, what do I do?<\/p>\n<p>1) I go down a half step to &#8220;B&#8221; and determine its major scale.<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=B&#038;second_octave=Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,As,B&#038;color=99CCFF&#038;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<p>2) Now I change the &#8220;Bs&#8221; to &#8220;Cs&#8221; and I&#8217;m ready to go! I&#8217;m basically playing a B major scale but replacing the B with C. &#8220;B major&#8221; just got carjacked! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?first_octave=C,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,As,&#038;second_octave=C&#038;color=99CCFF&#038;size=2' \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"productinfo\"><strong>WARNING \/ DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> This is a shortcut! It won&#8217;t give you the &#8220;CORRECT&#8221; way to spell it. You wouldn&#8217;t think of the C altered scale as a &#8220;B major&#8221; from &#8220;C&#8221; to &#8220;C&#8221; in a theory class or anything. <em>This is solely a shortcut.<\/em> You&#8217;ll get an &#8220;F&#8221; grade on your <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">music theory<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> test. I want to be clear. But with all that said, this is certainly the preferred choice for the &#8220;I just wanna solo&#8221; type of musician!<\/div>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the correct way to spell the <strong>C altered scale<\/strong> (the notes will essentially sound the same as the ones above&#8230; just spelled to take into account the &#8220;Db melodic minor&#8221; scale, ascending). Remember, that&#8217;s the other way you can think of the C altered scale &#8212; as the Db melodic scale from &#8220;C&#8221; to &#8220;C.&#8221; But to me, this &#8220;major scale&#8221; shortcut is a lot easier&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>C Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb C<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(I would use my piano graphic here but it doesn&#8217;t do Fb yet, darn).<\/p>\n<p>This altered scale will work perfectly over any chord that has the following alterations:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C7 #9#5<br \/>\nC7 b9 #5<br \/>\nC7 b9<br \/>\nC7 #9<br \/>\nC7 #5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These chords are commonly found on 2nd, 3rd and 6th degrees of a scale. They substitute perfectly for minor chords when you need to pull strongly to another minor chord of the scale. I guess you can say they operate as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/do-you-use-secondary-dominant-chords\">secondary dominant chords<\/a>&#8230; just altered.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know!
