Getting a firm grip on the so called altered scale can be quite a challenge, especially for jazz guitarists.

Here's a quick and easy tutorial
Here we will build the altered scale (aka super locrian) from the ground up, first by looking at its main alterations: b9 #9 b5 and #5.
This is a super "crunchy" and dark dominant sound.
In the video, we're look at the chord G7(alt) ... as found in a regular II-V-I in C major.
Even, later in the video, we look at this from a C minor perspective: Dm7b5 to G7alt to C minor.
As a reference, the notes contained in the G altered scale are:
G Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F
This is enharmonic to Ab melodic minor, and not a typo. Feel free to look at the Db (i.e. the b5 of G7) as a C# instead, calling it a #4.
