The Lydian Scale | Tom Strahle | Pro Guitar Secrets

#musictheory #lydianscale #modes

The difference between a Lydian scale and a basic, run-of-the-mill major scale is the raised fourth note. In case of A Lydian it would be an A Major scale, ABC#DEF#G#A with the fourth note "D" raised to "D#". It has a haunting almost maudlin sound. Enjoy!

Thanks Tom! I’ll add this scale to my practice list. Useful also to know what the scale is most commonly used for. Please sir, may we have more?

Love the sound of it, definitely going to explore it! Thanks Tom.

Great video 💕💕💕. I’ll add this to my practice for sure. Thank you 😊

Nice explanation and graphics, always very helpful. Like Bruce suggested, I'd love to hear where I might play the Lydian scale. Seems like a sharp 4 chord in an A progression would be unusual. Maybe in the relative minor?

What do the Rs represent on the scale ?
