great explanation, thank you. emajor scale over A rhythm. don't hit the four cord. would like to see you explain the other modes too
Never heard someone describe it that way. Love it. Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson ????????
The 5 steps up approach works if you are playing 3NPS if not you are playing the Mixolydian Mode
Learn all 7 mode scale shapes. Once these are truly memorized, you can play all 7 modes anywhere on the fretboard. The approach in this video only shows scale shapes for ionian and lydian, so you're limited to playing within those shapes i.e. you're confined to specific areas of the fretboard when playing in a particular key.
Isn’t it Lydian is the 4th degree of a major scale. So key of A the D would be the Lydian or in key of C the F would be the Lydian
hablas mucho y enseñas poco
This is so helpful; please make more of these. Perhaps a Dorian/Carlos Santana lesson? thank you Marty!
That's Ionian diatonic scale off the low E…. A Ionian and E Ionian, that's a cool way you're applying but my way breaks down entire fretboard with relative minor and majors.
Do Re Mi Fa Sol La SI Do,not Ti Do …
Great video ! ????
Jerry Cantrell has a youtube channel?
You wouldn't play D because its not diatonic in A Lydian. It would be D#. The chord would be D# diminished or D#7b5. Think of the chords in E major but keep the A as the tonic (home note). If you really want to learn the modes check out Frank Gambale's description. People try and stay away from a leading tone of the base major scale when using modes. Here the D#dim would lead you back to E Major. But its not impossible to do if you keep that pedal tone of A. That D# wants to resolve to E.
Well explained. thankyou
Wow – God forbid you tune up an entire 1/2 step.
Thanks. Excellent
Sharp 4th, if you want it extra spicy Sharp 4 Flat 7 for Lydian Dominant. Extra points if you convert your pentatonic, try Minor pentatonic add major 3rd, sharp the 4th and flat the 7th, very common in fusion.
So simply explained here. I now understand the modal approach in any key. Awesome video.
Thx that helped alot ????
Cool tip! thanks
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A PHENOMENAL VIDEO…
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE..
I REALLY,REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO…
Very nice!
No one has ever explained this like you have thanks very much I learn a lot from this video
Just play in D major over an A major for lydian. If you play in E you'll be in mixolydian.
So steve vai mostly uses the Parallel Lydian Mode, not the Relative Lydian mode? I have read that David Gilmour uses the lydian mode but he uses the minor pentatonic scale or minor scale. If you're in the key of A minor how do you find the lydian mode using the minor scale? I think you play C minor scale or C minor pentatonic = A lydian mode , if you play E major scale = A lydian mode
thank you for this lesson, this really helped me understand how these scales overlap
Huh?
Lydian is the 4th interval. Mixolydian is the 5th. You seemed to say several times to go to the 5th interval for Lydian.
I’m so confused.
Nice Marty good job!
I wish I had this kind of learning material when I started playing at 13 in 1993. My teacher taught me to play Dorian as the root in one key and never could understand how to break out and sound different. No wonder kids in their teens are so good nowadays, they have it all at their fingertips.
I wouldn't say it sounds like Vai, but it sure as hell sounds like Satriani! Not exactly a surprise, but still a great lesson! Keep up the great work and I'm am now subbed!
Wow!! Why has this never been addressed by anyone else?
Beautiful guitar man,. Great video Marty ????
E is not the "lydian" chord of A. E is the dominant… or have I misunderstood something? Cheers Marty.
I’ve loved that fiddle since it came out
As far as playing over a droning note, I have found that playing with it, I really start to “open up” musically.
wow thanks best explanation I've heard. what intervals do you find are the most musical to bend either half or whole steps within lydian. appreciate you need a chord context for a detailed answer but hoping for some starting advice. thanks again
What book is he talking about at the beginning of the video?
Sweet
Great chops man, I'd say A lydian was straight up Satch with the cadence. Legato and the melody hitting on the tonal. Feel like Vai does a lot of lydian and mixo but he also vai's everything.
Thanks for the great video. Now, time to go and play. You did a great job explaining the concept and gave a really good lesson.
Thank you, you unlocked a key in my brain to understand something important ???????????? very well explained
This is probably the best lesson on how to understand the Lydian mode I've watched so far. You completely removed the fluff and made it immediately practicable. Well done!
A1 lesson Marty thank you and a stunning guitar too !!
More like A – Leadian, amirite?!?!
I had that guitar a few years ago and traded it for a Budda Superdrive 30. I must have been stupid because I miss the guitar way more than that amp! Great lesson, Marty! Great to see you and love your channel.
