    The bebop major scale is derived from the Ionian mode (major scale) and has a chromatic passing note added (a ♯ 5) between the 5th and 6th degrees of the major scale. Adding the ♯ 5 note to the seven-note major scale allows the chord tones 1, 3, 5 and 6 (a major 6th chord) to land on on-beats when the scale is played sequentially.
