Eb Double Harmonic Scale

Eb Double Harmonic Scale notes: Eb Fb G Ab Bb Cb D. Formula: 1 b2 3 4 5 b6 7. Chords in this scale: Eb, Fb, Gm, Abm, Cbaug.

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.
