About this scale
The whole-half diminished scale is an 8-note symmetric scale widely used in jazz and metal guitar. Its periodicity of 3 semitones means its positions repeat every 3 frets. Jazz guitarists use it over dim7 and b9 dominant chords, while metal guitarists exploit its symmetry for fast, very characteristic runs.
