G7: G Ab Bb Cb D Eb F G
One note different than traditional altered scale. It has natural 5th.
Technical note: this scale is the 3rd mode of Eb major with a flatted 6th.
So for E7 you could use the 3rd mode of C major b6: E F G Ab(G#) B C D E
Another choice I have heard and use is a six note scale omitting the 5th or b5.
G7: G Ab Bb Cb _ Eb F G
This scale does not commit to being a altered scale or 3rd mode of Eb major.
