How it is built

  • A major scale with a raised 4th: F♯ instead of F. Seven notes.
  • F♯ floats instead of pulling toward G the way a normal 4th would. That one note is the dreamy, film-score sound; hold it over a C chord and let it hang.
  • Same notes as G major, started from its fourth degree.
