Wholey Moly

From: Jason Loughlin's Rockabilly Licks Vol. 2

I am sure we all have heard the sound of the whole tone scale from watching old sitcoms as a kid – anytime somebody had a flashback you could hear a harp running up and down the whole tone scale. So a whole tone scale is pretty much what it sounds like, it's a seven-note scale that's separated by whole-steps. This lick uses chromatic passing tones to connect notes of the whole tone scale.
