SPELLED 1 - 2 - 3 - #4 - #5 - #6 - 8
The Whole Tone scale is one of the SYMMETRICAL scales ... that means there is a real rigid pattern of symmetry to it's intervals. It is made up of all major 2nds (whole steps) giving it a detached and "other worldly" sound which screen writers often use to convey a dream or hallucination state. It cannot exist inside one key. It goes 1 - 2 - 3 - #4 - #5 - #6 - 8. With it's #5, it is the scale tailor made to go with AUGMENTED chords. As usual, there are 12 fingerings for it in our normal chromatic "box" orientation (although with it's symmetrical nature, several of the finger patterns appear redundant). Do you need to know all 12? Not unless you want to be the next Modern Jazz "phenom". Try to learn as many as you can ... 4 to 6 is a good figure to shoot for. Start with the easiest ones first ... the ones that have the fewest FINGER SHIFTS. To totally understand your fretboard and how to do finger shifts, visit www.guitar-instruction-free-lessons-online.com/chromatic-scale . Remember, the RED DOT is your ROOT NOTE and these boxes can be moved anywhere on the fretboard to play in all 12 keys.
