C Eviç (Jirka)
Middle Eastern & Turkish Makams / Maqams
Arabic Jiharkah (Jirka): a major scale on F whose 7th is a quarter tone flat; on guitar it is approximated with ♭7.
Makams use intervals smaller than a fret (komas, quarter tones) and are defined as much by their seyir (melodic path) as by their notes. Shown here is the nearest 12-tone, fretted approximation, so some makams land on the same notes.
