Scale Notes & Info
Scale: C locrian
Description: The seventh mode of the major scale (1, ♭2, ♭3, 4, ♭5, ♭6, ♭7), built on a diminished triad. Its flattened 5th and 2nd create extreme instability, making it rare as a key centre but very important over half-diminished (m7♭5) chords in functional harmony and modern jazz.
Notes (pitch classes): C, C#, D#, F, F#, G#, A#
Intervals (formula): 1P, 2m, 3m, 4P, 5d, 6m, 7m
