When the C was used as a pedal note over those other chords which were typical chords, I didn't like it for lydian, but for some other scales a pedal note can sound better with typical chords to my ears. If I were to use a pedal tone with lydian I would have to play some non typical chords for it to sound right to me.
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...
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.
Thanks for the comment Steve. Yes, I looked at feedback from that video to make this one clearer. I will issue a correction once RUclips finally roll out the feature. Thanks for watching both videos!
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
"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."
@@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.

Thanks for the comments! I don't have a course at the moment but it is something I am thinking about for the future.

Love this channel
Thanks!
Amazing exploration of lydian and how to use it! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Thank you so much for this!
You're welcome!
8:48 I suspect you can also change the I chord to Isus♯4.
Absolutely, take the 3rd note out of the add11 and it will become a sus4.
this video burned my brain
What is the difference between C Lydian scale and G major scale? Thank you 🙂
Same set of notes, but C lydian starts on C and G major starts on G. They are relative scales.
There's no difference. C Lydian is in the key of G - a fact not pointed out in this video.
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
There's a Billie Eillish song that has a Lydian tonality,creating a haunting ethereal sound. Very beautiful.
Everything I Wanted was the song I was thinking of.
Better to think about Steve Vai songs rather that Eillish crap
@@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.
But EIW isnt in lydian tho
@@aRealMango Maybe not, but it sounds like it.
Inca roads 🙏
C Lydian scale is just G Major scale, right?
Yep, same notes, different order.
Are those the chords of the G major scale?
Yes same chords, different order.
4:26
Lydian is technically more stable than major
"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."
There's no such key as C Lydian. C Lydian is a mode in the key of G.
How would you refer to it - C Lydian Tonality?
@@WriteASongIt's modal.
@@mpgnz73 it's a key. It's a scale and can be used as that. Not everything is traditional European harmony.

Lmao lydian is a scale
