C Altered
C · D♭ · D♯ · E · F♯ · A♭ · B♭
Also called Super Locrian, C Altered is the seventh mode of melodic minor and contains every altered extension a dominant chord can take — flat and sharp ninth, flat and sharp fifth. It's the definitive jazz scale for a V chord that needs maximum tension before resolving. Learn it as melodic minor a semitone up from the root.
