Finally. The whole tone use nice and clear. Thank you, Chris !
You're welcome!
A good altered scale for outside playing, those harmonised third intervals you played sound very cool and a professional explanation, greetings Vic
Thanks Vic!
Using the whole tone scale so it sounds musical is very tricky - you really nailed it here Chris!
Thanks Rick!
I knew about the use of the whole-tone scale on a dominant, but never realised that it gives rise to a 7b5 and 7b13! I've always associated the flatted extensions with approaching a minor chord. Thanks for showing this!
My Pleasure!
Brilliant! Making the whole tone scale musical and melodic. Thank you.
Thank you!
Good one, Chris. WT always had a “dreamy” vibe to me, which gives a nice flavor as part of 2-5 lines like this … fun exploration👏😁!
Thanks Barry!
Chris playing that whole tone with 3rds is going into my bag today 😂
It's a great sound!
Great Lesson! Was able to play your “tasty lines” comfortably at half speed. Also, the standard dominant 9th chord voicing on the inner 4 strings - ⑤ G ④ B ③ F ② A - can be moved up and down in whole steps within a single Whole Tone scale. This is an interesting device to use for Chord Melody playing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very useful as usual, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I always associate the whole tone scale with Debussy. It's such a nice scale.
Cool lesson thank you
Glad you liked it!
Great Chris
Thanks Tillman!
Especially sweet on that guitar.
Thank you!
Love this lesson, always interested in whole tone ideas. It's a very Monk sound to me
Thanks Frank! Yes, this sound is often associated with Monk. Also Bud Powell
@@ChrisWhitemanGuitar cheers Chris, didn't realise it was a Powell sound also.
Chris-great lesson! Lots of nuggets in there. Quick question: your backing tracks sound great. Which program/app do you use to create them ? (BIAB?)
Thanks Christian, I use iReal Pro
Great playing! I worked with the whole tone scale on several occasions and couldn't get any sort of lines out of it. Kind of frustrating. Its perfect symmetry makes it a beast to use. I stick to the Lydian dominant or Mixolydian mode.
Thanks!
Thanx Chris, nice to see some whole tone applications! Can you tell me; considering the V chord having +5 or some other common altered voicings (or none, simple V7); which one should we choose? Altered scale or whole tone?
It really depends on the context and what your preference is. They are both good options.
3:01 - interesting there are “2” tritones in your voicing - ④ F to ③ B & ② Eb to ① A - never noticed that before
yes! There are actually 3 tritones that naturally occur in the whole tone scale, G-C#, A-D#, B-F.
