Harmonic Miner Scale

from I like 3~.

• 
• If you look at it as a minor scale (like C↔Am), 3 becomes dominant, and if you set it to 3~, the semitone raised becomes the leading tone to the root note of 6, and if you set it to 3~7, it becomes tritone (triad), so it progresses to 6 more and more. It seems to be easier to progress to 6. - Maybe that’s why the chorus 6 from 3~[7] in Cruel Angel Thesis sounds so pleasant.
• I have no idea, so I watched the video and tinkered with InstaChord a bit and figured it out.
  • First of all, with InstaChord, it’s usually displayed as C/Am.
    • Since 1 is C, this is a major scale
    • At this time, 3 is Em and 6 is Am.
    • In the minor scale, Em is dominant and Am is tonic
      • In other words, going from 3 to 6 in a major scale is the equivalent of going from dominant to tonic in a minor scale.
    • 
      • Compared to the major scale, the minor scale has a weaker dominant to tonic connection.
        • Because it’s not moving in semitones relative to the base note of the tonic.
      • 3~ing in the C/Am state is to E the Em.
        • Em becomes E, which means So becomes sharp.
          • Raise the “so” a semitone.
      • 3~→6 would be a semitone shift from So# to La
        • Also, in the Seventh Chord, the Re is sounding, so the So# and Re make a tritone.
