Hey guys,

I'm just now starting to include the use of the b9 and #9 as well as #5 or what have you in my soloing. Especially over dominant chords, however I am new to it and dont really know much about it.

Is there a site online (preferably free) that has ear training for jazz...to get you to hear these alterted tones against chords, or even nonaltered tones, I'll take whatever you've got.

Thanks.

I wrote an ear training applet ear training applet that helps with intervals and basic chords. While it doesn't have altered chords, you could use the new "Play By Ear - Random Melodies" feature to create random sequences of any note combinations.

I've been using the random melody feature several times a week for a month or so and I'm pleasantly surprised at how much easier it is to pick out licks note-for-note from recordings. Likewise, I'm able to play my own ideas with greater accuracy.
