  • Hi GMC,

    Today I have special topic for you. The symmetric Scale Half Tone/whole Tone (HTWT). There is a lot of misunderstanding about this weird scale. But it has a lot of potential and can be use perfect to create new lines or to spice up your blues licks. Because it needs s a deeper explanation I made a detailed vide about this scale (Video 1) and made 5 cool licks for you to start with.

    Have fun with this cool scale!
