Scales

Scale: C flat six pentatonic

Description: A pentatonic linked to augmented and whole-tone-coloured harmony, typically featuring the ♭6 along with a major triad (for example 1, 3, ♯4/♭5, 5, ♭6). Used over augmented and dominant chords, it highlights the tension between 5 and ♭6 (or ♯5) and appears in late-Romantic, jazz and film-score textures.
