Scale suggestions:


C minor pentatonic scale - C Eb F G Bb (C)

C minor blues scale - C Eb F F# G Bb (C)

C minor scale -C D Eb F G Ab Bb (C)


Ab7 chords :

Ab Lydian Dominant - Ab Bb C D Eb F Gb (Ab)

G7 chords:

C harmonic minor scale - C D Eb F G Ab B (C)

Or

Treat it as an altered chord and use the altered scale:

G altered scale - G Ab Bb B Db Eb F (G)

The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of G altered scale are the same as those of Ab melodic minor scale :)


The 7th arpeggios will come in useful:


Cm7 - C Eb G Bb

Fm7 - F Ab C Eb

Ab7 - Ab C Eb Gb

G7 - G B D F

Dm7b5 - D F Ab C


HAPPY JAMMING!
