Dictionary: Ab Major Scale


From this four-flat scale, we can derive the modes Ab Ionian, Bb Dorian, C Phrygian, Db Lydian, Eb Mixolydian, F Aeolian, and G Locrian.  In the table below, the obviously key-appropriate chords are to the left, and some somewhat off-key triads that could work in transition are to the right:

Ab Fm Gdim Abaug
Db Bbm Dbm Bbdim
Eb Cm C Edim
