In this crystal clear guitar lesson you can learn all about the very special double harmonic major scale. It’s the darkest scale ever and yet it is a major scale! From the 60ties surf rock Pulp Fiction theme to Jazz to oriental sounds and even old school metal, the scale will bring some extra juice. Maybe this scale is the jack of all trades of the dark side. Improvise over maj7 chords to sound awesome and different. The scale has a built in tritone substitution and some weird chords that can sound very different and surprising.
The scale has some pretty spicy modes too like the Lydian #2 #6, Ultra Phrygian, Gypsy minor, Oriental, Ionian augmented #2 and Locrian double flat 3 double flat 7 mode.
