C# Whole Tone — Plectrum Banjo

C# Whole Tone is 6 notes to the octave (symmetric family), drawn here across the Plectrum Banjo's CGBD strings with every C# marked, so home stays visible from anywhere in the pattern.

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.

The long neck puts the same note in more places than four strings usually offer, so these maps show the whole CGBD field and leave the choice of route to you.

Run it against a click at a tempo where every note gets the same weight. On a banjo an uneven scale is audible immediately — the instrument gives you no sustain to hide behind.
