Chord & FretWhole tone on electric guitar (C)
Whole tone in C: C – D – E – F# – G# – A#. On electric guitar, the slimmer neck invites legato — the same fingering runs with less effort, and the high positions stay comfortable. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, fret 3, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Plugged into an amp, each chord sustains for as long as you hold it, and the tone — clean or driven — shapes the whole sound.
Practice it tonic to tonic — hearing degree 1 at both ends anchors the scale's sound.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
One box of whole tone on electric guitar is the start: the other 4 positions of this neck follow in the app. In Chord & Fret, you press play and watch each note light up on the diagram the instant it sounds; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and choose to start from the tonic or play the full box.
