I found some gold in one of my old music notebooks
I think these were a combination of scale ideas I got from several sources
my teachers at the time and one of PJ morgans videos
I was not that good with my fingers at the time but now As I play some of these scales i am hearing where they can be applied
most of these scales will work over all chords in the key of Db
but i break them down for the individual chords
Db play as a major 9
Bb melodic minor E pentatonic, F dim scale Db lydian
Eb
Eb dorian Ab dominant scale D dim scale
F aug
whole tone scale
F# major 7
Db pentatonic Bb melocdic minor
Ab7
A melodic minor
Ab dim scale Ab augmented scale
Domoinant scale
Bb minor
Aolean
Bb alt
B melodic minor
Cmin7b5
whole tone
C diminished scale
Play these scales as a pool of available notes please dont just run up and down the scale
play in intervals
play in thirds sixths
skip notes back and go forward
outline chord tones accent chordtones and feel free to add passing tones

Question...
Where would you put an F aug chord in the key of Db? Do you have an example?
-
you just play it in place of the Fminor7 its going to Bb most of the time right? and you would could play a diminished as a passing tone you could
raising the five of the fminor mkes sense becaue the Db will be the b3 of Bb
so it makes for smooth voice leading
you need to check my thread in classically trained musician in need of help
its in the first page on this room
i go into great detail about the differences between classical harmony gospel harmony jazz harmony and blues harmony
the three chord in gospel is often either played as a dominant as wel as a minor7 and when it is played as a dominant it usually has a #5 and sometimes it even has a #9
