      Isn’t the 5th degree of the Harmonic Minor scale from which the V7b9 chord is derived that is used in minor harmony?

      Really enjoying your Vol 1 course!

      Thanks,

      Craig

        Yes, the V7b9 chord can be derived from the phrygian dominant mode of the harmonic minor, but we are talking here about the V7alt which is derived from the super locrian mode of the melodic minor…. At least when we use it with its upper extensions (b9,#9,#11,b13) which is the goal in these studies.
