Harmonic-Major-Scale

The harmonic major scale as Ionian b6 mode or Ethiopian scale (1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – b6 – 7) is built the same way as the diatonic major scale, but with a lowered 6th. This scale is not very well-known but can be interesting for those who want to add more exotic feel to their jazz improvisations. It is generally played over a major 7 chord, however it’s difficult to use because it sounds a little bit weird and dissonant
