I have a chord thats c,c# and b (the b being one octave above the other two) how do i find the root note of this chord?Also does anybody know what a scale of harmonic minor with a flattend 2nd is called?
What chord it is, is totally dependent on 1) what scale/mode you’re in and (sometimes) 2) the harmonic function/purpose of the chord.
Problem is im not sure what scale im in,its a harmonic minor scale with a flattened 2nd
Sorry its actually a harmonic minor scale with a flattened 2nd and raised 3rd
Are you sure that you’ve correctly identified what the tonic chord is? (You might just be inverting a normal scale.)
It’s called the ‘Phrygian’ mode or ‘spanish’ Phrygian due to it’s raised 7th degree & Major 3rd - in A minor > E - F - G# - A - B - C - D# (E Spanish phrygian)

Ok ive actually found it,i was right the first time (I edited my post) its called the Double Harmonic http://www.scales-chords.com/scaleinfo.php?skey=C&sname=double%20harmonic
Which leads me to believe the tonal center is anyone of the 3,depending on how i use it,thanks for replies,cheers.
