       Just sharing new found knowledge------

*​     *While replacing a book on my music shelf I noticed a book
      titled "All About Chords".  After removing cobwebs and dust
     I opened it to a random page.  Happened to be page 110.  My
      lucky day.  I discovered that I had been using the notes of
      an incorrect scale to improvise against a dominant 7
​th​
with
     both an added  raised 9th and a sharped 5th---or even an
     added lowered 9th and flatted 5th.  The scale to be used is--
     hold your breath---the Doubly-altered Locrian mode.

     It really is on page 110.
