Wow. Seems like yesterday when I commented on your video on practicing the major scale and I literally can't believe my eyes....a video on the altered scale! This is what makes being a patron so worthwhile.

I’m not gonna lie. I hit like before the theme music is over. That’s how much trust I have in this guy.

Thanks for the video Jonathan. After spending some time exploring approaches to altered scale use I have found it's better to visualise the scale from the root of the altered chord you're playing it over eg. Visualising G Altered scale over G Alt chord rather than Ab melodic minor. I find having to transpose and superimpose another melodic minor scale over the altered dominant chord more complicated and importantly much harder to see the chord tones of the altered chord your playing over. Once I started visualising the altered scale ok from its root I then added the melodic minor visual patterns into my fretboard knowledge, so I can now see those patterns but from an altered scale point of view, rather than a transposed melodic minor point of view

why are you associating III7alt scale with the I key? are you using it over V7alt chords in a chart? (or over tonic chords? or over III7alt chords [which appear infrequently in charts]?). you don't explain how you're employing it harmonically..
(are you thinking of it as V7alt of vi?)

Hi, are you using a helix or hx stomp patch for this? If so, which one? Thanks.

How to practice the altered scale? Practice Mixolydian b6 but think of it as a Melodic Minor up a 4th and pretend you play the Altered scale up a 3rd. Easy :))) Awesome playing anyway!

All you have to do is to change the root of major scale - a half step up
