Chord #19 - F7b5(9)

This is a possible Lydian b7 or Whole Tone Scale voicing. In this case, for the line I chose a F whole tone scale for the melody. With symmetrical scales, you can easily sound like you're simply playing a pattern. In this example, I sequenced the first phrase a tritone lower and then answered it with a different phrase to close the statement. By thinking in phrases (question and answer, call and response), any melodic statement has the potential to become stronger and coherent.

Enjoy!
