A few months ago someone on this list pointed out to me that you can
also use A melodic minor over this chord. I always hated that 2 bars
of whole tone scale. I found it hard to come up with anything
interesting. In fact I hated it so much that I used to use Ebm7 for
soloing over those 2 bars (not for the melody though). The melodic
minor is much better IMHO.
