Ab Whole Tone Scale notes: Ab Bb C D E F#. Formula: 1 2 3 #4 #5 #6. Chords that fit it: Abaug.
The whole tone scale has six notes, each a whole step apart: 1 2 3 #4 #5 #6. With no half steps it sounds dreamy and unresolved, like Debussy or a dream sequence in a film. Jazz players use it over augmented and 7#5 chords. There are only two different whole tone scales: the pattern repeats every two frets.
