C# Double Harmonic Scale notes: C# D E# F# G# A B#. Formula: 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 7. Chords in this scale: C#, D, E#m, F#m, Aaug.

Double harmonic major has two wide steps, one on each half: 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 7. It is the classic Arabic and Byzantine sound, and the scale behind surf rock tunes like Misirlou. Over a major chord it sounds instantly exotic; play the b2 and b6 slowly and let them resolve.
