Exotic Scales - Aeolian Bb7

Hi GMC! Welcome to the sixth Exotic Scale of this series. Now we are going to explore the Aeolian bb7 scale. As in the previous lessons you know that this lesson will be about the chord progression and the modes positions in one octave.

This scale is like a minor scale but it has the diminished seventh and that creates the augmented interval between the 7^th and the root

I hope you enjoy the lesson!

Here is the chord progression: Cm7 (b13) - Am7 (b5)- Dm7(b5) - Cm7- F7 (#9)- Abmaj7 (#11)- Am7 (b5)- Dm7(b5)- Gsus4- Abmaj7 (#11)- Am7 (b5)- Dm7(b5)-  Cm7 (b13) -  Cm69/Eb.
