F Whole Tone — Resonator Guitar

F Whole Tone is 6 notes per octave (symmetric family), drawn here as position boxes on the Resonator Guitar's GBDGBD grid with the root flagged in each — learn one box deeply, then let the overlaps carry you into the next.

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.

In open g the same letters repeat across the strings, so scale maps here look nothing like standard-tuning boxes — follow the drawn frets, not habit.

Play each box top to bottom until the roots feel like home base, then practice crossing between boxes mid-phrase — neck freedom is exactly that crossing, nothing more.
