When it comes to playing jazz I quite like Pat Martino's approach as I think it's quite simple and easy to understand.
I have a Wolf Marshall Pat Martino book that tells you what Dorian scales he is using over particular chords, which gives a good insight into how Martino "thinks" and organises groups of notes on the guitar. There is also a good Shaun Baxter lesson in the Guitar Techniques June 2002 magazine about Martino's minorization technique too.
Here is a list of some scales Pat Martino tends to use when faced with a dominant chord:
Dorian a half step above root of chord
Dorian from the 5th of chord.
Dorian from minor 3rd of chord.
Dorian from root of chord.
Dorian from the b6th of chord.
Dorian a whole step above root of chord.
Dorian from major 3rd of chord.
Dorian from #5 of chord.
Dorian a whole step below root of chord.
Minor(maj7) arpeggios from 5th of chord.
Minor(maj7) arepggios form #5th of chord.
Minor 9 arpeggio from minor 3rd of chord.
Minor arpeggios from root / 5th / 2nd / minor 3rd of chord.
Minor pentatonic from minor 3rd of chord.
Minor arpeggios half step below root of chord.
Melodic minor a half step above root of chord.
Melodic Minor from 5th of chord.
Melodic Minor from #5 of chord.
Diminished scale from 4th of chord.
Diminished scale from minor 3rd of chord.
