About this scale
The chromatic scale (12 semitones) is essential for transitional passages on guitar. Chromatic approaches (encircling notes) are a fundamental technique in jazz and blues. Allan Holdsworth built an entire language around chromatic runs. On the neck, it connects any position by passing through every fret.
