Scale Notes & Info
Scale: C augmented heptatonic
Description: A seven-note 'augmented' scale built from repeating augmented triad fragments, usually combining semitone and major 3rd leaps. It mixes diatonic stepwise motion with the symmetrical augmented sound and is employed in modern jazz to create lines that move between tonal centres via augmented relationships.
