CONSTRUCTION   of   WHOLE-TONE   SCALES


TIP: There are only 2 DIFFERENT WHOLE-TONE SCALES:
  This is a 6 NOTE SCALE so, in a similar fashion to how we approached
the 8 NOTE Diminished scale, this time we will leave out the "6th".
(This reasoning behind this strategy will become apparent when naming
"AUGMENTED 7" chords.)

    Let's construct a "C WHOLE-TONE" scale:

 alpha  ~     C      D      E      F#      G#      Bb      C

numeric ~     1      2      3      #4      #5      b7      8(1)
 
spacing ~       tone   tone   tone   tone    tone    tone
