WHOLE TONE SCALE

The whole tone scale is a symmetrical scale that divides the octave into tones. It has a 'forever' sound in that it does not resolve. As a result, it can be very difficult to use at first which is why I've included 2 examples below to get you started. Be sure to check out my video below 'The Whole Tone Scale' for further information on this wonderful sounding scale.
