This has got to be one of my new favorite scales.

Wonderful mode, and lovely improvisation! Though I must say I was disappointed that he failed to mention that Lydian Dominant is the fourth mode of melodic minor which I thought might have given it some context. Also, the second tetrachord is mixolydian as he stated later and not minor as he said initially. And here’s one final bit for the nerds: the tritone doesn’t actually occur until after the minor 7 in the overtone series. But other other than that, excellent intro to one of my favourite modes! I’m glad so many people are interested in discovering the complexities of music theory.

ummmm that improvisation was killer

It is very difficult to make a scale stop sounding like a scale, all recognizable and whatnot. Your improv was stellar.

Great, Tom! Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you very much!

Look for the Romanian song, "Sapte văi si o vale adancă," on youtube. It's in the Lydian flat 7 scale.

Beautiful scale.

it is a very important sound of the late romantic, when the b5 started to be added to the dom 7

Never really looked at it from a piano perspective before /: intriguing

The 13th harmonic from C is an Ab that's 41 cents sharp, which means it's closer to Ab than to A, so why do so many sources claim that the overtone scale would translate into equal temperament as 1 2 3 #4 5 6 b7? In stead of 1 2 3 #4 5 b6 b6?

excellent video

4th mode of the A melodic minor scale D7#11

What the?! Awesome!!! Thanks! :)

What makes the Lydian Dominant chord so good for dominant chords that don't resolve traditionally, up a 4th?

Great video and beautiful improvisation by Mr. Hojnacki!!! However this scale is described in the video title as "The Lydian Augmented b7 Scale" which is a inaccurate. As Mr. Hojnacki explains, this is the Lydian b7 scale (1 - 2 - 3 - #4 -5 - 6 -b7 - 8) which has no augmented 5th meaning it's not an augmented scale. He doesn't even mention the word augmented at any point during the video and you can clearly hear and see that he always plays a G natural and not a G#. I'm assuming the person who uploaded the video confused it with the Lydian Augmented scale? Maybe? Anyhow, It's not a big deal but I needed to point it out. Thanks!

4th mode melodic minor containing 2 Tritones

Great video

grate video! amazing... check out that you are not mentioning the name of the musician that is actually what is about! name?

The scale used in the Simpsons theme 🙌🏼

Thanks for another great video... keep them coming;-)

Zelda: Breath of the Wild condensed into a scale

I guess we have to look up this "mystic chord" ourselves, huh? Anyway, it's a fun scale, I just have no idea how to make it a stable center of a moving harmony, so I end up not using it as much as I might like to.

So assuming the root is C, where is the dominant? The chord built on G will have a m3 and M7 ...? Anyone?

why is no one talking about the simpons?

what is your name? i want to lisent your music because the intro is nice, is your?

Fourth mode of melodic minor, typically called LYDIAN Dominant!!!!! Glad he showed the greater beauty and greater possibilities, but this IS Not some great esoteric mystery. (Get Mark Levine's jazz theory book which explains the practical usage of melodic minor). You'll be perceived as a fool if you refer to this scale as anything other than LYDIAN Dominant. It's been used in countless jazz small group tunes=fake book. It was indeed valuable to see/hear the expanded possibilities, but to try and make it into some compositional inner mystery school esoteric knowledge is truly pretensions. Thanx for the truly beneficial creative expansive ideas:a good service. Esoteric mystery school approach:bullshit. I'm sorry you can't be as cool as Beato, or build a new/old specialized approach like Barry Harris. But thanx for expansion of possibilities. BTW, ever heard of Horace Silver, Oliver Nelson or Jimmy Heath? 🤔

This guy needs to read up on the overtone series...

A bit wonky and rough around the edges. Not a great dominant scale, Phrygian dominant will always be better and Melodic Major (mixolydian b6) will always be the best.
