Scott McGill Sloninsky for Guitar Thesaurus Pattern #9 Jazz Improvisation

This is my second Customized Guitar Lesson sample session that deals with how to generate useful improvisational patterns and phrases from Nicholas Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns.
In this session I cover Slonimsky's Pattern No. 9 and play through many Altered Dominant 7th and Diminished Patterns that can be generated from this six tone scale or Hexachord. This is also the second hexachord in Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone set from his Op. 24 Serenade Mvmt. 5.

Dear Barry, may I ask you a question about the way the jazz player's brain functions in real-time?
Assume that you are improvising over a song and a E7 chord is coming. Let’s say you feel like putting a myxolydian lick over it.
1. Are you setting up a finger structure corresponding to the E major scale making sure that the 7th is flat?
2. Are you setting up a finger structure corresponding to the A major scale?
3. Are you just playing note randomly but staying in the high alert mode and make sure that you correct “wrong” notes before the audience hears them?
Thank you in advance.

Is this question for me Yakov? I am Scott.

[@YaVITguitars]

My apologies, Scott. I copy-pasted this question to several renowned teachers. I would appreciate your opinion on this subject

[@mtstyre7768]

Sure Yakov and give me a bit to respond. My thanks.
