Altered Scale
In jazz, the altered scale, altered dominant scale, or super-Locrian scale (Locrian 4 scale) is a seven-note scale that is a dominant scale where all non-essential tones have been altered. The triad formed from the root of the altered scale creates a diminished triad, but due to the inclusion of a diminished 11th, the scale comprises the three irreducibly essential tones that define a dominant seventh chord, which are root, major third, and minor seventh and that all other chord tones have been altered. These are: * the fifth is altered to a 5 * the ninth is altered to a 9 *the eleventh is altered to a 11 (equivalent to a major third) *the thirteenth is altered to a 13 (equivalent to a 5) *and the minor third can be considered a 9 The altered forms of some of the non-essential tones coincide (augmented eleventh with diminished fifth and augmented fifth with minor thirteenth) meaning those scale degrees are enharmonically identical and have multiple potential spellings.
