Suznak combines a Rast-style lower part, with a quarter tone on the third degree, and a Hijaz-style upper part starting on the fifth degree. The combination gives it a rich Eastern character.
Choose an instrument and a root above to see Suznak on the fretboard.
Note: a regular flat (like E♭) is a semitone, so it is blue. Only a half-flat (↓, e.g. E↓ or B↓) is a quarter tone, shown in yellow. Each quarter tone is drawn inside the fret box above it, and if that box also holds a regular note, both are shown side by side. Play it by bending the string or on a fretless guitar.
Degrees: 1 - 2 - ½b3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - 7
Notes on D: D E F♯↓ G A B♭ D♭
Notes on C: C D E↓ F G A♭ B
In maqam Suznak the quarter tones are on degrees 3. On D these notes are F♯↓. On the fretboard they are marked in yellow, and the symbol ↓ marks a note lowered by a quarter tone (half-flat).
