[Harp-L] super locrian

["Clayton Gary Lehmann" <hqr@xxxxxxx>]

As fate would have it, a 260 tuned to augmented was within reach, so I
treated myself to some flat 11.
All given notes except for the Db and Eb--
I know this scale should be under my belt, but somehow, when it comes time
to solo over altered chords, I simply modify the chord tones, rather than
apply tritone substitutes.
So this scale is intended to be played over C7 altered chords, resolving to
F?

The major third can't be the eleventh, but if you flatten the eleventh
(a.k.a, the fourth) you get a note enharmonic to the major third.

For example, look at C super locrian (a.k.a., the C altered scale) which is
the seventh mode of the C# ascending melodic minor scale. The notes are:

C, Db, Eb, Fb, Gb, Ab, Bb, C

The fourth of the scale, Fb, is enharmonic to E natural, the note we would
usually think of as the major third.
