Just a quick video talking about a conceptual sort of thing. Working on going from here to there!
Here's a PDF with the G half whole scale. It's a scale that outlines a G7 b9 chord. I ask the question what if the chord was a G7 b9 #5, what would the scale be. Write it out and send it to me!
Here's all the Friedman Dampening and Pedaling vids and audio lessons on the site. This a book all of us should work through and master.

Enjoy!
P.S. : Jean-Michel, listen to what you missed! :o)
