This guy is brilliant. Best to do this over the dominant scale to start with.
he key to it is to start on a chord tone, play some notes outside, then end on a chord tone.Then it doesn't sound as if you just missed a key change.
Like playing the blues scale, a little goes a long way.

The Bebop Dominant Scale is basically a Mixolydian mode with an extra note : a natural 7th.
For F7 chord we've got the following bebop scale :

F G A Bb C D Eb E

The Jazz DOMINANT scale and the chord going with it, surely must be the most important chord tone.
First it emphasises one of the two harmony notes the b7. Second it indicates with certainty which key you are in - you can't say that about any Minor chord symbol, nor even for certainty about a Major chord symbol (it might be the 4th of another major)
But, most importantly it can be substituted most easily with the Tritone and the Alt.
This chap is nice and simple. You can get a riff from it.
