What is true of it
G harmonic major is G, A, B, C, D, E♭ and F♯, and back to G.
Its steps are W – W – H – W – H – W+H – H, where W is a whole step and H a half.
On the same tonic, G major differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 46 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
