Scale Notes & Info
Scale: C whole tone pentatonic
Description: A five-note subset of the whole-tone scale, typically obtained by omitting one of its six notes. It retains the augmented-triad basis and lack of semitone resolution but is slightly less dense, giving a modern, floating dominant sound with reduced chromatic saturation.
Notes (pitch classes): C, E, F#, G#, A#
Intervals (formula): 1P, 3M, 5d, 6m, 7m
