Players should be aware that each chord symbol represents a series of tones called a scale. 2) Even though a C7+9 would appear to have only a raised 9th it also has a b9, +4 and +5, The entire C7+9 scale looks like: Root, 59, +9, 3rd, +4, +8, b7 & root (C, Da Dt, E, Ff, Gf, Bb, C). My chord symbol C79 is therefore an abbreviation, while the complete name of this scale is Diminished Whale Tone (sometimes called Super Locrian or Altered Scale). Similarly, C78 also appears to have only one altered tone (+9) but actually has three: 59, +9 and +4. The entire scale looks ike: Root, 29, +9, 3rd, +4, 5th, 6th, b7 & root (C, Db, Dt, E, FH, G, A, Bo CC), This is called a Diminished scale and my chord symbol abbreviation is C7>9.'3) All scales under the Dominant 7th category are scales that embellish the basic Dominant 7th sound. Some scales provide much more tension than the basic dominant 7th sound and require practice and patience to grasp the essence of their meaning. | encourage you to work with Volume 3 “The 11-V7-1 Progression” since it emiphasizes Diminished and Diminished Whole Tone scales and chords. 4) In category #3, MINOR SCALE. CHOICES, the PURE MINOR scale choice is nat used very often, [nave found the order of preference to be Dorian, Bebop, Melodic, Blues, Pentatonic, and then any of the remaining Minor scale choices, 14
