How to Use the Harmonic MAJOR Scale

[@richardp0]

One cool fact about the harmonic major scale is that it is related to the harmonic minor scale by inversion. If you list the intervals between the notes in C harmonic major (C D E F G Ab B C) you have 2 2 1 2 1 3 1, and these in reverse order become 1 3 1 2 1 2 2 where if we apply these starting on, say G, gives the scale G Ab B C D Eb F G which is the fifth mode of C harmonic minor. (I picked G so that you get two scales with lots of tones in common).
