Eric Gales Phrygian Dominant Sound
In a epic guitar duel with Joe Bonamassa, guitarist Eric Gales, over an E pedal, plays an E minor pentatonic mixed with a scale derived from the A Harmonic minor scale.
Here are the scale's notes on the fretboard with some interesting easy to play 3 notes-per-string patterns.

G Major Blues Scale
Despite its minor counterpart the Major Blues Scale is probably a bit less used. When mastered it produces a very bluesy elegant sound perfect for many major harmonic progressions, especially when it is tastefully combined with the Minor Blues Scale.

Its just the pentatonic scale with a b5 as a passing tone.
Wherever the major chord is? Just go back 3 frets and play pentatonic minor. Done. đ
Major Pentatonic added #9
So it is basically just a major pentatonic with a passing minor third..?

Three-Note Voicings
It is not that uncommon, among jazz musicians, to use three-note chords that can work as more complex chords structures.
Three-notes chords often are more handy and essential and, if we have the ability to obtain quickly their inversions, we can obtain a lot of voicings that can work as seventh chords.
In the picture below we have the notes C D Ab that can work as: Amin (maj7), Fm6, E7 (b13), Bb7 (9).
Try yourself the sound ! đ

Melodic Minor Scale MODES: 3 NOTES-PER-STRINGS
Melodic minor scale and its Modes are generally used to play, with no "avoid notes", over some specific chords with certain tensions as showed below:
C melodic minor -> Cm (maj7)
D phrygian natural 6 -> D7 sus4 (b9)
Eb lydian augmented -> Eb maj7 (#5)
F lydian dominant -> F 7 (#11)
G mixolydian b13 -> G7 (b13)
A locrian natural 2 -> A min7 b5 (9)
B superlocrian -> B7 altered
All scale modes and note-per-string distribution, automatically obtained with guitarLayers guitarlayers.com
Ooooh careful, playing this scale descending was considered the Devil's scale back in the day , a big no no đđđ¤ amazing how just 1 interval change from a Major scale can sound very different . Some call it the Jazz scale I think . If you start from the 7th Ascending it's Diminished , STone-Tone-STone-Tone up to the 4th . Then WholeTone from the 3rd . That Minor3rd is Lovely đđ

Excelente información
Personally, I prefer 3 notes per strings. I really don't find these 4 notes/2 notes patterns useful at all
Thanks!
Any chance of an iPhone app?
Thanks great info
Thanks A Ton
Romain GuitarCook Morlot
Personally, I use this knowledge for triad pair improvisation. B altered: play A dim B dim, or C minor D minor, or Fmaj G maj. Other combinations eg with Eb aug are also possible of course, but using 2 neighbouring triads of the same quality saves thinking while playing.
My mind has blown with itđđ still learning...
Danny Holloway
Thank you so much đ

This is very helpful. I am still having problems putting my arms and ears around the sound of this scale and how to really use it. Trying though!!

Minor Seventh Chord Substitution
In many situations, where we have a bass player, we can avoid to play the root and substitute it with the ninth.
If you apply this process to all the inversions of a minor seventh chord you will come up with the inversions of a major seventh chord, as you can see on the diagrams.
So that, any major seventh chord and its inversions can work as substitution of a minor seventh chord. (e.g. Cm7 -> Ebmaj7)

and related inversions
Talking about seven chords, Drop 2&3 and Drop 2&4 voicings are less common then Drop2 and Drop3 ones but they can be very useful in some contexts.
Drop 2&3 are a closed structure (1357) where the third note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 3517.
Drop 2&4 are a closed structure (1357) where the fourth note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 1537.
Here the Cmaj7 Drop 2&3 and Drop 2&4 voicings and related inversions, use them as starting point to derive other chord types.

For me, it has a kind of Db melodic minor sound. But used isolated as a chord, I would probably used it as a C7b9 or a Bbø7(âŽ9).
C7(b9) , Bbdim(add9) , Dbm6(Maj7) , Gb7(#11) ?
C7b9
C7b9... Santina Lanza
C7b9, Bb dim(add 9), Db min/maj 13
Bb 5?
E has to be named Fb, so it could be Bb minor 9. Bb is root 1, Db is minor third, Fb is fifth, C is ninth.
C7 b9

Download the first six shapes from the previous post on this page in case you have missed them.
Practice them as a sequence and use each single arpeggio to break the linear sound of the scale when improvising.
Stay tuned for other micro lessons and diagrams đ

Diatonic 6ths intervals
In major and minor scales there are two types of Diatonic 6ths: major and minor. Major 6th has distance of four whole steps and one half step. Minor 6th has four whole steps distance between two notes.
In this video Chilean guitarist and teacher Alvaro Severino shows us some interesting exercises with 6ths intervals using guitarLayers. guitarlayers.com
