Eight-tone scale (aka "diminished scale") for guitar
The eight-tone scale is constructed by alternating whole step and half step intervals. This construction gives the scale 8 notes per octave. The eight-tone scale is also called the diminished scale. The eight-tone scale can also begin with a half step, sometimes referred to as a "half-whole diminished". E.g. C eight-tone scale consists of C, D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, A and B.
