3 9 ltered Dominant ( 7 8) he altered dominant scale is the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale (page 9) It is also known as the Super Locrian mode, Locrian, and the diminished whole tone scale (scale degrees form a symmetrical diminished scale (page ) and scale degrees form a whole tone scale (page 0) In a dominant 7 context, this scale contains the root, rd, and 7 of the dominant chord and includes all of the availale altered tensions: 9, 9,, and he altered dominant scale is commonly used in functional harmony to give tension to the V7 chord he vamp at the ottom right corner of the page uses a ltered Dominant & variety of altered dominant sounds to illustrate the effectiveness of this scale his scale is a very important part of the jazz vocaulary Keep in mind that you don t have to emphasize all of the altered tensions in this scale when soloing 7 8 C ltered Dominant C ltered Dominant Position Fingerings hrough the Circle of ths C ltered Dominant F ltered Dominant ltered Dominant E ltered Dominant ltered Dominant ltered Dominant D ltered Dominant G ltered Dominant ltered Dominant E ltered Dominant ltered Dominant D ltered Dominant G ltered Dominant wo-note-per-string Fingering E ltered Dominant D ltered Dominant Vamp D7 # 9 D7 j 9 D + D7 &8 # j 9 # ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
