*The major is almost the same as the Harmonic Major Scale
So that's the basics. It can be considered a major scale with the sixth degree lowered, Ionian ♭6 or the harmonic minor scale with the third degree raised. The intervals between the notes of a harmonic major scale follow the sequence below; whole, whole, half, whole, half, augmented second, half.
