How to use the Altered Dominant Chord & Scale 

I really like the way Richie presents his lesson with a supportive type of humor. I am now just learning how to unravel the concept of altered chord improvisation. This video with Richie helped a lot. Thanks!

This is hands down, the best lesson out there on how to understand and use the Melodic Minor Scale in the right situations. Thank you so much for this

Very nice lesson. Highly informative and explanatory teaching done in a light hearted manner.

This man is a veritable encyclopedia of jazz knowledge.

Richie is definitely one of the best jazz guitar teachers out there!

These bad jokes are gems. Good lesson as always Richie.

Another great lesson. Thanks Richie

Love Richie!

Thank you 🙏 real and helpful lessons.

Great lesson. I would love to see a lesson on the altered dominant bebop scale

Nice video. Thank you so much.

I down loaded the book..so far very good and still free.

Very Helpful, I was not aware of much of this and blissfully ignorant of my ADD... The context you provide beyond the scale is most important to understanding where you were and where you are going as a "player". Thank You...! 😎

Thanks Richie!

You're a great teacher, very good explanation on this jazz subject and really enjoy your sense of humor, greetings Vic.

In satin doll, you have E-7 / A7 resolving in D-7 /G7. Can i use it on the A7?

Great stuff old man, very helpful lesson

HILARIOUS

In any profession, that's the way a true teacher explains a difficult subject so that people can benefit the most.

My disorder seems to be that at the moment,unlike with the major scale modes,every time I play the Mm scale modes ,the altered scale in particular I always feel like I'm playing the melodic minor with the sound of a minor major seventh going to my head.I guess that maybe if I play the chord representing the mode after I play it's scale maybe that sound will sink in.

Awesome!🙂

I use Hexatonics (6 note) scales. It simplifies everything...especially for the altered scale. And, it breaks up that scalar sound since it has a 3rd (maj/min). On top of that, there's only 2 hexatonic scales, one for maj/min and one for altered...you can still use all the other scales.

Two ways to remember the alt scale. Say C the flat the rest of the alphabet..C Bb Ab Gb Fb Eb Db .. I use the half whole dim then whole scale..C Db Eb E then Gb An Bb ..Those are shortcuts but they work for me .

This is just Great & Hilarious at the same time. You make learning Jazz Guitar fun ! You know, the ones that have the real ADD are the Dunderheads who click the Thumbs-Down button: "Ye cain't teech 'em anything".

In my opinion you can use the Altered scale anytime a Dominant chord is resolving up a 4th/down a 5th whether it is moving to a minor, major or dominant chord. Perhaps this wasn’t customary in Bebop.

This is so cringy and I love it

vous avez une pédagogie tres interessante ,dommage que je n'assimile que 70% de ce que vous enseignez ,à cause de mon anglais tres faible .mais je tiens quand même à vous remercier.

That wasn't 3nps altered.... must of been the a.d.d.

This guy scares the crap out of me

Thanks, but it's this kind of theory lesson which leaves me absolutely cold. Very frustrating. Is it possible to bring it down to more understandable terms?

Bla bla bla

If only the presentation was truly funny. Total waste of time for any slightly informed player
