Hi Jack Isn’t it the same half step from the G dominant same has A flat major scale equal an G7 alt scale ?

G7 is also the secondary dominant of C7 (which is the secondary dominant of Fm, the lead chord) and Db7 is a tritone away from G (or b5). Wow!! My only concern is how can I do this automatically in a jam session on the spot… without having to go through this mental arithmetic? Do you take time to plan out these ideas and with time… they become automatic? Your comments would be appreciated. Thank you!
