Thanks for the answer. It was perfectly clear.
Thanks for taking the time.

Hi Natalie
The super-locrian is the seventh mode of the melodic minor
scale. In practical terms, you pick a melodic minor scale a
half step above an altered chord and start it from the
seventh degree, and that's it. Let's say you have an E7alt
chord. The melodic minor scale 1/2step above is F. That
means the following notes:

F G Ab Bb C D E or:
b9 #9 3* b5 #5 7 1

*enharmonically Ab=G#

Try superimposing the arpeggios you get from this scale over
the appropriate altered chord.
BTW, it's far from being a guitar-only mode. :-) If you're
interested in this kind of stuff, I higly recommend you a
book by Bert Ligon called Comprehensive Technique for Jazz
Musicians. Plenty of exercises, ideas and theoretical and
practical info.
