How to use the Fb ionian major #2
scale
The Ionian Major #2 scale features a raised second note, offering a bright and somewhat unexpected twist on the traditional Major scale.
tip
The Ionian Major #2 scale adds a sharp 2nd (II#) to the traditional major scale, providing a bright yet unconventional sound. Use it in jazz and fusion to explore non-traditional major harmonies.
Focus on the sharp 2nd (II#) to add tension in your solos, while maintaining the overall brightness of the major scale.
Incorporate this scale into fusion or modern jazz compositions where its raised 2nd (II#) adds harmonic color without losing the foundational major tonality.
Blend the Ionian Major #2 scale with the Lydian scale to explore chromatic movement while retaining the major feel in your solos.
Use this scale in film scoring or progressive rock where its bright, yet slightly dissonant sound can evoke a surreal or futuristic atmosphere.
