In this series of videos I cover everything you need to know about Jazz Scales, including but not limited to:
- How scales are related to chords (the Chord-Scale System)
- Why you can use different scales over the same chord
- Commonly used jazz scales including: melodic minor modes, bebop scales, whole tone scale, diminished scale, pentatonic scale.

This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about the Wholetone scale. As the name implies, this scale is made up exclusively from Whole-tones. So the G Wholetone scale would be: G A B C# D# F.

The scale can be used over a Dominant 7 Chord (in the above case: G7). But the full chord associated with the whole-tone scale is a G7#5#11, which is usually just shortened to G7#5.

While this creates an interesting and exotic sound, it also has a rather boring harmony, so it's important not to overuse this scale.
