Whole-Half
Diminished Scale
This scale chart is written from the same prospective
that tablature is written. The bottom line is the 6th string (lowest
sounding), and the top line is the 1st string (highest sounding).
The numbers are the the fingers that you should use.
The whole-half diminished scale is nothing more
than alternating whole steps (2 frets) and half steps (1 fret)
. Since this is a symetrical scale, any one of the blue dots could
be considered the root of the scale.
= The root of the scale ( make sure you know where the roots are)
Scale formula - 1 2 b3 4 b5 b6 6 7
