Three Lydian (#11) Arpeggio Licks

[@Samurai78420]

This guy is so fkn good. I been playing professionally for 30 years, and this is where I come to break out of those plateaus or ruts. In my opinion, he's the best guy on KZbin. He's gentle and soft-spoken, but he's truly a monster on our instrument.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I have been playing for 30 years too and Modes finally make sense to me. Kind of breaking the rut but still have more questions about techniques to use modes to sound more melodic.

[@Bcananzey]

Don't we all ?lol

[@ski5150]

Bingo!! Well said sir! My sentiments EXACTLY..

[@Krullmatic]

I've been playing for 40 yrs. and this is where I come for great news ideas as well! Signals Music Studio, with Jake Lizzio, is a great channel to learn some great stuff also. Jake goes deeper into the theory of things and is soft spoken, but breaks everything down, so an illiterate music theory dude like me can understand it.

[@davemack6384]

agree. It's him, Stein and Kelly K for me.

[@garethwood5588]

I keep hearing 'Flying in a Blue Dream' in my head all the way through this. Great lesson

[@ThrashRoC]

absolut ..i hear it to

[@johnnypeligro7706]

For sure! That was my bedtime soundtrack for years as a teen. Such a great album

[@timothyholmes4588]

that's good ear training ,having something that identifies the sound.

[@dallasahlberg7833]

I've gotta admit, when this video started and the chords started being introduced, I instantly thought of Screaming Trees. How about a little lesson about the Conner brothers?

[@mikegorman5878]

This guy has to be one of the coolest legends on earth. Amazing playing, delivery and oozes peace!!

[@rockinrob2004]

Dude! YOU are connecting years of missing dots! THANK YOU!

[@fumblingninja]

When the penny drops and the universe is in sync, the mind creates some wonderful melody's. this is how i felt after watching this video. thank you so much for your wisdom.

[@snowyowl1717]

Really cool lesson! I think in the first arpeggio example you are playing the 9th and not the seven but I could be wrong. Thanks again!

[@darrenmuso2621]

Best online teacher out there for me

[@cdewhdpo]

Amazing guitarist. I wish I could find a teacher like you. Very beautiful guitar playing

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you so much - I love getting messages like this! I'm very glad that these lessons and videos are inspiring and helping people. That's what this is ALL about! Thanks again and stay tuned for more lessons and material! : )

[@nathancloud6344]

A very kind and humble personality too

[@kmanick107]

totally agree! David covers some great stuff, his Greg Howe tutorial has some killer licks in it

[@timothyholmes4588]

my favorite quality of the lydian scale is that it sounds so magical and mysterious and it's begging for resolution. it's like please resolve me lol.

[@johnnypeligro7706]

I spent 30 minutes trying to learn that lick by ear and watching your fingers. I finally let the video play and realized there was tab. Amazing lesson! 🤦🏻‍♂️ I will now go back and watch the rest of your videos. I’ve been on a huge Lydian kick lately. Thank you!! 🤘🏼

[@martymooney8099]

Thank you my friend for the arpeggiated patterns in the ol' lydian tonality love you're approach to teaching and for sharing your wisdom another great useful video

[@mikeivey8471]

Awesome lesson !! I am digging back in your collection of videos and finding all kinds of Gems that I have somehow missed !! Thank you for all you do , Dave !!!

[@simonjohn7189]

Brilliant instructional, thank you, in a world of “show-offs” your heart is definitely bigger than your head!!

[@scottwaszak698]

I think Satriani.

[@voronOsphere]

Thanks, David!!! I love the beautiful and mysterious Tritones of Lydian...

[@donaldmccoy49]

thank you sir.... now I'm getting closer to my hero Frank Zappa...

[@joshuasydnee]

Wicked lesson David, it’s my fav mode so thank you 👍

[@neiladams2190]

Thank you for fantastic explanation.. Especially sharp 11th apagio.... 💯💯💯💯

[@ronnympe]

Thank you Thank You 🎶🎶🎸 I love the Sound of the Lydian mode ... and You are demonstrating it so well musically and pedagogical 👍 Great lesson 🙏

[@ryanchard6813]

Thanks for being so cool about everything. I just learned a lot about my favorite mode. Your students are extremely blessed to have you guiding them. I feel blessed just to have found your lesson online. Thanx.

[@FranciscoBIdo]

Very unselfish and very knowledgeable. Glad to have discovered your channel. Thanks!

[@thecovercrush]

I like these kind of lessons. Drills the "mode" into you sonically

[@AndyGriffithsArt]

Thanks for this. I've been intrigued by Rick Beato talking about Lydian Arpeggios but I never really got it until you explained it like this

[@musicmotorskate7540]

David you really are a great teacher, and these licks you have created are inspirational. Keep up the good work, and we appreciate you. Thanks.

[@iainmacdonald8099]

Great lesson !! Thank you David !!

[@beyondlimitsproductions1468]

Thanks .....I really needed this right now !

[@johnwadsworth5946]

Steve Vai studied with Joe Satriani for three years from the time Vai was 14 years old. Satriani is also a major proponent of the Lydian Mode. Thus, it's a fair bet that Vai's affinity with the Lydian Mode might have come a wee bit from Satriani before he ever met Zappa.

[@DanielOnGuitar]

IKR I was a bit surprised when he did not mention Satriani when Vai himself talks a lot of his Satch’s influence on him. 🙂

[@alexrousedds]

That lick at 6:00 is otherworldly...great work!

[@IamtheActionman]

Super cool! Thanks very much for sharing your ideas.

[@dragnasty540]

I just found your channel recently and absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank you for showing the tabs!

[@DonTheGuitarGuy]

Only took me umpteen years to stumble onto your channel, but damn, right up my alley. Every vid and lesson is great man. Thank you! Can't wait to dig into the rest of your vids and the ones to come.

[@ski5150]

Ooofff....another GREAT lesson! David, you are thr man!

[@tammelin_guitar]

Great lessons man! Just found your channel a couple of days ago and really like your fresh approach to theoretical concepts. Love it!

[@caryverhalen]

Absolutely love these! Thanks for the great lesson. Wish u great success

[@briannorman952]

thank you this was a great lesson

[@BridgeGuitar]

This sounds so cool, but is so far over my head I can’t even explain it!

[@JammingFellow]

Awesome lesson. Thank you. 😊😊

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

Just strumming that chords makes me feel Scenes from a Memory

[@scootersays]

Great lesson. You make it look so smooth and effortless. Maybe one day I'll get there.

[@thigarciaable]

I like a lot your teaching! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching and for this comment too! : ) Take care and stay tuned for more lessons and videos!

[@Ibanezguy2007]

great lesson!

[@JPTyler]

I absolutely love your guitar lessons! Please keep them coming. However, I was wondering if you could do a video (or perhaps a few videos) on how you achieve your guitar tone? I absolutely love it & would greatly appreciate if you went through all the settings that you have with your tone coming from the app that you're using. It's marvelous!

[@johnny8771]

Great lesson... thanks

[@TGormania]

This mode has been getting a work out a lot with me lately. I tend to think of Satch when I hear the Lydian for some reason. I highly recommend Gambale's Modes - No More Mystery for those trying to understand modes. Great instruction on how to use modes.

[@reecewood5491]

this is so beautiful. thanks.

[@lostar_ozgur]

Thank you for this lesson ....

[@mudnducs]

I’m not at all attached to this scale BUT…your ability to play these so effortlessly and accurately…well I’m kind of spellbound!

[@gthrockstar]

Whenever film or TV composers need to let you know something "magical" is going on they use the lydian mode. It puts you in the mind for faeries. Or, someone falling in love.

[@separablealt]

Great lesson

[@ronaldpapa8182]

Happy New Year, Dave!🎆 always enjoy your videos, you’re an incredible player.

[@nathancloud6344]

Really good stuff!!!

[@jeremywhitesides81]

Great teacher amazing player!

[@nicolasmaurin182]

Frank Zappa - water melon in Easter hay !!! When I listened to this song I thought we’ll this is different animal. Why? Figured out it is all Lydian. Kind of interesting mode. Better with Zappa than with the Simpsons… thanks Dave. I love so much your videos and personality

[@Daviddemetrio_oficial]

Excelent! The best licks ever

[@ericksegura478]

gracias amigo

[@danmarcucci3207]

Great lesson Dave!!!!

[@TheMeJustMe75]

Joe Satriani's Flying in a Blue Dream is an omage to Lydian. I drove my guitar teacher crazy to teach me Modes. He gave me the scales then turned it over to me to figure out how to use them. I was utterly confused then 30 years later they became clear to me.

[@gothicuq470]

absolutely great channel.

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you so much! : )

[@joshuasydnee]

Great lesson David love the Lydian sound. Can you do a similar video for all the modes?

[@marto1973ful]

Great stuff,really enjoying your posts

[@ytrichardsenior]

Just discovered you... Great stuff.

[@ДмитрийСкородумов-щ7й]

Спасибо супер материал. ❤👍🤘

[@patconnelify]

Thanks

[@chriscoghill6386]

I'm curious as to wether your using up down with legato picking or throwing in some hybrid with it...I gotta get this down!

[@anthonydavella8350]

Curious, 1985 off Band on the Run, is that song Lydian? Old fart here starting late, thanks Mr Brewster. I was getting "stuck' and your stuff has left me inspired again. Ultimate compliment I think

[@guismth]

Awesome!!

[@dsdaniels4727]

The Simpsons theme must be based in Lydian

[@Stringprodigy]

Lydian dominant

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Lydian dominant

[@tamwar3]

How about the Munsters theme tune?

[@fabiohinogami]

It is

[@nunestunes]

What about the X files theme?

[@ivanthor]

Amazing* lesson..- damn' usefull.! Thanks.!

[@LateNightLessons]

That's what I like to hear! Thanks very much and take care! : )

[@maxwellhavins8078]

You think Steve Vai , I think Hyrule Field from Zelda lol

[@tracylewis674]

Question. Wouldn’t a sharp 4, also be a flat 5? Basically the blue note? I understand it’s all in how it’s used. In what context, etc. But the tone it creates would be the blue not, correct?

[@scottbrady2301]

Nice!

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you! : )

[@ddaneh3090]

Amazing how this lick works either on the 4 of major or the 6 which makes everything suddenly japanese.

[@swoopdog54]

Nice

[@8thFloorHarmony]

pls correct me if i am wrong, but i think in the 1st arpeggio, the note which you refered as the 7th note is actually the 2nd or the 9th note. and thanks for the great video! : D its amazing : )

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Sir I would take personal lessons from you in a heartbeat. But I GOTTA EAT😊. This is cheaper. Your love of guitar is contagious. Keep the faith

[@DragonBiscuit]

Lydian to me always conjures up Satch. Joe is also a big Lydian fan it would appear

[@joebrooks3638]

Satch and Vai fan here... Let's hear some Lydian 🙏

[@CVGuitar]

3:22 "Meet George Jetson ..."

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

If you like lydian sounding artist, I strongly suggest all of you to check out Plini, great guitarist!

[@terryrasor5495]

Dude...niiiice

[@LateNightLessons]

Thank you!!!! : )

[@jeromelargo9861]

Tnx sir

[@CMM5300]

Awesome lesson. I've been playing and flirting with this area a lot. The first arppegio was very helpful for me. I knew the rest. I've been studying and mapping out Lydian 7th arppegios. (1,#4,5,7). Also locrianb7 (1,b2,b5,b7), and phrigian b7 (1,b2,5,b7) or with out the 7ths. Really great sounding intervals to just slide around and have fun with. I've noticed all 3 are a lot alike depending on how you use them. There is not much info on these chords. Even in the guitat grimour of chords and arpeggios there is nothing. Lots of fun! Thanks for the lesson video!

[@Krullmatic]

The Simpsons theme must be in lydian, because the first four notes you picked sounds just like the beginning of it lol. Edit: Isn't E Lydian in sort of the same neighborhood as F# Mixolydian?

[@isaiaharriaga4977]

Do you know where I can get tabs for this?

[@LateNightLessons]

Hey! I just made a hand-written chart/cheat sheet when I made the video, but I could whip up a PDF/tab and send it your way if you'd like. I'm also offering pre-made custom lessons, so if you'd rather go that route, we could do that too! : )

[@SLP-eb1wp]

This is gud stuff

[@Swanlord05]

It's almost a steve lynch phrasing

[@jameslay240]

Your pretty cool man

[@partriotsfight5039]

Bad ass

[@DanielOnGuitar]

I hear Joe Satriani...

[@francho123]

The Simpsons!!!

[@jakelee7639]

Satch

[@dorbabaellen2558]

😂😂😂

[@michaelcraig9449]

Lydian? I think of gypsy Lydia..guess the rest..
