In this crystal clear guitar lesson you’ll learn all about the harmonic major scale or Ionian b6 scale, that can be used for Rock, Pop, Jazz, Fusion and other styles. The scale sound sounds melancholic and major at the same time, resulting in a mysterious sounding scale.
In this guitar tutorial we look at the scale and arpeggios that are derived from harmonizing the harmonic major scale. We’ll see what chord progressions you can make with the beautiful but spicy chords. And we look at the modes of the scale and their applications, such as the Dorian b5, Phrygian b4, Melodic minor #4 or Lydian b3, Lydian augmented #2, Mixolydian b2 and Locrian bb7.

Hey Rob. You always post some of the finest content on KZfaq. I really appreciate the effort you put into sharing your knowledge with us and, as you say, in a crystal clear way, and English isn't even your first language! My compliments! If anyone ever asks me about guitar theory, I always point them in the direction of your channel. Many thanks.

ionian b6 = makam shawq afza dorian b5 = maqam nahawand murassah phrygian b4 = maqam saba zamzam (that has to be minor and not dominant home chord or minor dyad to get the "correct" maqam saba zamzam sound though, or just powerchord ) mixolydian b2 = makam zanjaran. on my channel i have some improvisation in maqam shawq afza, saba zamzam and makam zanjaran. In those I try to find a compromise between western harmony and arabic sound. Regarding the lydian b3 mode, although I understand why you prefer calling it melodic minor sharp4, it technically should be regarded as lydian because lydian is always surrounded by some form of phrygian from below, and from above by mixolydian modes. Giving it other name than lydianb3 confuses the modes of harmonic Major vs harmonic minor and melodic minor. great video, thanks.

Mode 2 also works to my ears as a Dorian blues scale (perhaps more in that context in a fusion setting ) mode 6 also works not just as an Ab aug major scale but also as superimposed A minor scale without the root note A … mode 4 can also function as a superimposed Lydian blues scale … all of these are a little outside of the parent chord but work if you use that in lines as passing color

I don't think the harmonic major scale is used exclusively. You can hear it in Jazz and classical music. Also in these styles the scale used more for shorter segments.
