Scale Notes & Info
Scale: C locrian #2
Description: Locrian with a natural 2 (1, 2, ♭3, 4, ♭5, ♭6, ♭7), also described as the sixth mode of melodic minor. It is less harsh than pure Locrian and serves as a common choice over m7♭5 chords in jazz because the natural 2 supports a smoother, more consonant upper structure.
Notes (pitch classes): C, D, D#, F, F#, G#, A#
Intervals (formula): 1P, 2M, 3m, 4P, 5d, 6m, 7m
