G Whole Tone — Double Bass

The G Whole Tone scale runs 6 notes per octave in the symmetric family. Below it sits on the Double Bass's EADG strings with every root marked, because a bassist reads a scale map as a set of targets around the root, not a row of dots.

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.

The Double Bass has no frets to trust: the map marks positions on the fingerboard, and the audio is there to keep your intonation honest — match each note by ear, pizzicato first, then with the bow.

Walk it slowly against the audio, land each root on a downbeat, then take it to the progressions in G and let the scale turn into lines.
