I love the Lydian dominant! I actually used it in my solo in "A New Day Dawns" a couple years ago (posted on my channel). To me, it represented a kind of chaos and inbalance that can offset a typical day (which we introverts don't respond well too, lol) before resolving back to the main major feel of the overall song. It's an instrumental, but you might like it. (And maybe it'll give you some ideas in finishing your album. Looking forward to hearing it.) I like your channel and your posts. Keep up the great work as always, brother.

I tended to employ the dominant lydian when I'm improvising in prog style. And it was very natural to me. I was emphasising on the major 3rd and the difference between the perfect 5th and the diminished 5th and I used to focus on the minor 7th to darken the riff for example. ^^

You should mention that even though the note G isn't in the key, the power chord is perfectly allowed because the 5th is the most related note(other than the octave) to the root in that power chord. To be clear, when you play the C you hear a G in it anyway(as an overtone).

Now let’s get honest here for a moment: I have been searching around on KZbin like crazy, but no one is really able to explain and giving a applicable system how powerful melodies can be written. We have all those classical devices of classic composition, for,example the video: what is a melody by Bernstein, but There is no real systemization. What intervals are used in regards to chords and scales, popular examples, how melody and lyrics are related to another, how singers come up with melodies, if they start before beat 1, what common schemes are used in popular music nowadays? I am dying to understand this, do you think it’s worth a shot to make a video about it? I’m interested what you’d come up with :)
