A Whole Tone Scale — Baritone Ukulele

The A Whole Tone scale has 6 notes per octave and belongs to the symmetric family. Here it is mapped onto the Baritone Ukulele's DGBE strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to A wherever you play it.

Weightless and dreamlike — six equal whole steps with no leading tone, so nothing pulls anywhere. Blurry, floating, and faintly unsettling, like a dream sequence.

Heard in: Impressionist piano (Debussy's "Voiles"), Thelonious Monk's runs, dream-sequence film cues, and the augmented and 7#5 chords it fits in jazz.

On the Baritone Ukulele's linear DGBE tuning the pattern climbs string to string in pitch order, so runs flow straight across the neck.

Play each position slowly against the audio until the shape and the sound lock together, then take it to the progressions in A to use it over real changes.
