The Lydian mode is a great way to open up your leads over a Major chord. Let's explore the possibilities of that scale.

Lydian mode is almost the same thing as major scale/ionian mode. The only difference is sharp 4th in Lydian mode. This lesson is riffing only, using downstrokes only most of the time to get that powerful metal like sound.

The Lydian mode is one of my favorites. It brings a mysterious kind of feel to a major 7th chord and is often used to "open up" a musical piece.

The Lydian b7 scale is a great tool to sound exotic. As its name indicates, this mode is Lydian with a minor 7th. It will work on a 7th dominant chord (Root, Maj 3rd, 5th and minor 7th). The track we'll be working on has a small modulation going from E Lydian b7 to a minor pentatonic key still in E.
