How to play the super Locrian bb7 mode on the Ultimate guitar

What’s the Super Locrian bb7 mode?

The super Locrian bb7 scale is the seventh mode of the Harmonic minor scale. It is also known as Ultra Locrian, Super Locrian Diminished. This scale rarely used in jazz and other styles because of its unstable and dissonant sound.

The formula is 1 – b2 – b3 – b4 – b5 – b6 – bb7. You may notice that the Ultra Locrian mode contains a typical interval, the T or ST step found in all the modes of the harmonic minor scale.

When harmonizing the super Locrian mode, we obtain a diminished 7 chord (1 – b3 – b5 – bb7), meaning that theoretically you can play this scale over any dim7 chord, but must be used with caution because the b4 creates a strong dissonance.

Comparison Between the Super Locrian bb7 Mode and the Altered Scale

As you can see in the chart below, there is a slight difference between the super Locrian diminished mode and the altered scale (super Locrian).
