About the Bb chromatic scale
The chromatic scale contains all twelve notes in Western music, each a half step apart. It is not typically used as a key center but rather as a passing-tone device for creating tension, color, and smooth voice leading. Chromatic runs appear in virtually every genre from classical to jazz to metal.
