There are many different solutions available to the improviser that are available based on the diminished or augmented formulas, the 4 most commonly used minor scales, blues scales, bebop scales, the seven modes, cromaticism mathmatical sequences such as circle of 4th's or 5th's. Combining those techniques with intresting rhythms such as rhythmic displacement 3 or 6 over 4 or vice versa can lead the improviser in new directions.

Anyway.....MAN you've got some fast fingers! Awesome! I as rerading he message here on your board...that's German to me! Ouch! When you're good....you're good! God bless!
Hey Mike so good to see you here , I wish you the best your are my mentor as a great guitarist as you are your the reason I still play . God Bless you in all that you do .
If I were vamping on the E7#9 there are a few solutions that come to mind. You could use F melodic minor, or based on tri tone substitution B melodic minor, E blues or bebop scales, or one of the 4 diminished E,G,Bb or Db minor or half diminished scales, pentatonic in E or to go "out" one of the aforementioned diminished solutions using pentatonics starting on G,Bb or Db for starters. Mike
Could you write briefly how you would approach an E7#9 chord>
