This is basically an overview of John Stowell’s book: Jazz Guitar Mastery. I don’t own this yet, but I’m thinking of checking it out. I like how the melodic minor subs are arranged by varying tensions. This (paraphrased)sentence really stood out to me: “The altered scale is ubiquitous in modern jazz and has perhaps achieved over-use as a ‘go-to’ scale for altered chords.” I think this is interesting because it took me a long time to get use to way the altered scale sounded. But now that I use it and hear it all the time with other players, it doesn’t sound as “out” as it once did. I also think some of those other choices could really highlight a particular interval that you were targeting.
