Chromatic scale i.e. sargam, makes up the twelve notes of the chromatic scale with respective sharps and flats. Chromatic scale The chromatic scale is a musical scale with twelve pitches, each a semitone above or below its adjacent pitches. As a result, in 12-tone equal temperament (the most common temperament in Western music), the chromatic scale covers all 12 of the available pitches. Thus, there is only one chromatic scale. Moreover, in equal temperament, all the semitones have the same size (100 cents). As a result, the notes of an equal-tempered chromatic scale are equally-spaced. This makes the chromatic scale a nondiatonic
Harmonic major scale Harmonic major scale In music theory, the harmonic major scale is a musical scale found in some music from the common practice era and now used occasionally, most often in jazz.

It can be considered a major scale with the sixth degree lowered, Ionian 13, or the harmonic minor scale with the third degree raised. It may also be generated by reversing and rotating the succession of intervals in the harmonic minor scale. It contains the following chords,
