The Lydian Mode

The Lydian mode is the 4th mode of a major scale. In the key of C Major, the 4th mode is: F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F. Since the 1,3,5 triad in this scale is F,A,C or F Major, the Lydian mode has a major sound to it.

To play the Lydian mode starting on C, we need to find which key has the note C as the 4th degree. The answer is G:
G,A,B,C,D,E,F#,G.

So the C Lydian scale is spelled like this:
C,D,E,F#,G,A,B,C

The IV chord and V chord in the key of G are C and D, so if we put a C bass note under them, we'll have a Lydian chord progression. Shred away with the C Lydian scale!
