[@jeanpierreguitarworld7480]

best way to write in a mode is to use the 4th and 5th major triads that are coming from the mode you want to write in and use the bass on both chords as the tonic of your mode..ex... CLydian would be C - D/C....CMixolydian would be Bb/C - C.... like this the mode is always present since the root is not being changed... regards...

[@stevek7961]

This is great - thank you. I think you might want to look again at what you said about the iii chord in your "Modal Chord Progressions - The Ultimate Guide" (at about 32:40) though, as it is rather contradictory.

[@WriteASong]

Thanks for the comment Steve. Yes, I looked at feedback from that video to make this one clearer. I will issue a correction once KZbin finally roll out the feature. Thanks for watching both videos!

Amazing exploration of lydian and how to use it! ❤

[@christopherheckman7957]

8:48 I suspect you can also change the I chord to Isus♯4.

[@WriteASong]

Absolutely, take the 3rd note out of the add11 and it will become a sus4.

[@davidmcauliffe8692]

There's a Billie Eillish song that has a Lydian tonality,creating a haunting ethereal sound. Very beautiful.

[@davidmcauliffe8692]

Everything I Wanted was the song I was thinking of.

[@MizuRino]

Better to think about Steve Vai songs rather that Eillish crap

[@davidmcauliffe8692]

@@MizuRino I like both. Of course there is some of both artists I don't care for, but try to keep my mind open. They both can be learned from.

[@PatrickTengmusic]

What is the difference between C Lydian scale and G major scale? Thank you 🙂

[@WriteASong]

Same set of notes, but C lydian starts on C and G major starts on G. They are relative scales.

[@mpgnz73]

There's no difference. C Lydian is in the key of G - a fact not pointed out in this video.

[@user-jh7ki9sn5h]

The tonal center. They are the same notes. E aeolian also has the same notes as both of them but E is the tonal center and it's very different sounding. This is what modes are. They are all in the key of G. The parent major scale of those modes

[@3684541]

Are those the chords of the G major scale?

[@WriteASong]

Yes same chords, different order.

[@simondou6882]

C Lydian scale is just G Major scale, right?

[@WriteASong]

Yep, same notes, different order.

[@psazani]

Lydian is technically more stable than major

[@TheGrammarPolice7]

"Lydian mode chord progressions" means chord progressions that are also mode progressions and lydian progressions. By not hyphenating anything in the chain of modifiers, you implicitly have them all apply to the last noun. What you meant was "lydian-mode chord progressions."

[@mpgnz73]

There's no such key as C Lydian. C Lydian is a mode in the key of G.

[@WriteASong]

How would you refer to it - C Lydian Tonality?

[@mpgnz73]

@@WriteASongIt's modal.

[@incitatus634]

@@mpgnz73 it's a key. It's a scale and can be used as that. Not everything is traditional European harmony.

[@mpgnz73]

@@incitatus634 If you're using the term "key", then you are in the European harmony tradition. Any note within a key that is used as a scale root is a mode within that key.

[@ioannisdenton]

Lmao lydian is a scale
