After a "few" years, I am finally at the level where the info in these lessons is starting to break through. Fantastically presented with enough detail to be useful but not overwhelming. I also really enjoy your guitar stile and overall mastery of music. Musical examples are full of great ideas and fluent playing. Great work and many thanks! The backing tracks are fantastic as well!

You're a great teacher. The best example I've ever heard of lydian is flying in a blue dream by Joe Satriani.

These videos are amazing it’s like the veil of confusion I had is slowly being lifted. Admittedly I’m not so quick at working out the scales in my head and need to write them down so I can understand them better. Just the phrasing to work on now! 😋

Like seriously sir mind blown!🤗 I never thought of triad with the characteristic notes.❤❤❤ I could never figure how to get the modal sound. I kinda knew about pedal tone but never knew about the triad. 🙏

As always Rob, you bring light to us with another excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a concise and clear way. You are always the best!!!

My' favourite scale. My ear keep piercing the sound sound. Thank you for enlightening Lydian.. I don't care if it's dreaming. It's a unique sound to my soul..... 🎸🎸🎸🎸🍀🍀💯💯

Rob you are like your plain wood furnitures, rock solid. Thanks for this tutorial. It gives nice examples and ideas to explore and develop lydian mode.

Brilliant tutorial and I'm a pianist whose never touched a guitar in my life. Many thanks sir.

The Vai Ibanez signature and custom shop models are some of the best playing guitars out there man-I like them better than PRS, Fender, or Gibsons. You have great taste in guitars.

A "Root(of a chord)" is the same as a "Tonic(of a scale)?" The reason we ask the our question is because your video lessons are amongst the very best on the Internet. Therefore, absolute accuracy is necessary to hold you to the highest standards you have set for yourself and all the rest. Gratefully, - One of You Many Students/Fans

Pure gold lessons!

I have no words. Your playing is amazing. I've been playing forever and I'm still crap compared to you guys. However, I finally understand the modes and that has really opened up so much of the secret to great playing. Thank you. Better late than never. 😉👍🤘

This is probably the most concise, straightforward, and well explained guitar video I've ever come across. Thank you, and well done.

You're my favourite guitar teacher online. Your videos explain everything far clearer than most. But I will be damned if I can understand how to make chord progressions sound like a "mode". I'm going to keep binging your videos until something clicks

The solo at the start and at 14:25 is a emotional rollercoaster. I keep coming back and wondering if you can make a separate video with just the solos. Well done Sir.

a master class in music theory. very challenging due to my current level of understanding. beautiful and intelligent graphics. thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge.

Sounds so darn good. Bravo.

Thhhaaaaaaankkkksssss

Rob, can you even produce a bad video lesson? 😁 Again great work and so cristal clear!

Hallo Heel goede benadering. Thanks. Groeten uit België. Steve Verstichelen

Awesome stuff as always!

Nice!

Sir.,thankyou so much for this Video!!

Not in chorus, but in the verse of Every Little Thing. Chorus is D Major

Magnifique !!! Merci!

Really nice tips as always. Lydian is always happening. 😕

Great lesson! But, the chart @4:38 is confusing. As you explained, Lydian is the 4th mode of the 'parent Major scale.' I think you intended the chart to reflect the tonic of the Lydian scale in blue [not white] and the related tonic of the 'major parent scale' in white [not blue]. (Essentially you got them backwards)

excellent - sköl!

Bravissimo cheers

Great tutorial! Been playing with this for 3 hours today!! I find that you speak "my language". Of course, I subbed and turned on ALL notifications... Two questions: 1. In your D Major progression Dmaj7 - F#m7 - A - Cmaj7, why do you consider the Cmaj7 chord borrowed from "D Dorian" as opposed to "C Major"? 2. What theory is Satriani following, if any, when he decides to go from C Lydian (Csus2) to C Minor (Absus2) ? Thanks so much...Tony

Thank you sooo very much

Great tutorial! Subscribed :)

Thanks for the lesson...well Is there further lesson on lydian...like solo over chord changes on lydian mode...

I imagine Alex lifeson used this mode a lot

Very great video Rob. I am, however, confused about something. At 13:40, the frets of the guitar don't seem to match the roman numerals above the neck. Would you mind clarifying that please? Thanks!

Super helpful! How would you quickly know which key the major scale is that the lydian is extracted from, such as finding C Major from F Lydian? Is there a sort of formula I could use on the guitar?

The Stev Vai mode

Great video. One question.. I do not understand, the song Dreams by Fleetwood Mac is for me mixolydian G. Because there is the note F. The Lydian has F #... thank..

Great lesson, pity about the minuscule tabs.

At roughly 4:37 you said you can visualize the root of the parent major scale and the root of the Lydian scale by a fifth. You depict G as the parent root and D as the Lydian scale root, which it is not. You have it backwards. C Lydian root in the previous pattern shown at 4:33 is a fourth above the parent major root - G. The parent major root, G is a fifth above the C of C Lydian

In ii-v-i chord progression, I was wondering what the correlation is between G maj scale and G lydian scale, and how they are connected. Can I use G lydian with Cmaj scale? Why G lydian with G maj scale? Sorry I dont know much of music theory.

The theme from the Simpsons is Lydian Dominant isn't it? Which is a variation of Lydian and is equal in brightness to Ionian as I understand. Is this correct?

Do you have the backing track for the E Lydian example you shared?

Ничего не понятно, но очень интересно!)

I couldn't get the Fleetwood Mac one. You said it was F lydian, but the B note (characteristic note) wasn't emphasize.

I’m confused in the 8:56 part, why can you play those 2 different scales. If the G Lydian has a note that is not a part of the G major scale.

4:38 I don't understand the diagram, is it possible an error?

HELP!!!!! So much that wasn't explained. At 4:15 it show C lydian & Gmajor scale patterns (G A B C D E F#). But in a G major using the lyian mode, I thought you start on the 4th note. Which is a C. But he says to raise the fourth note in lydian. So is that fourth note from the C or from the beginning of the G scale. So is the fourth note a C or a F#. And that being the case why is the C not a C# or if it's an F# does the make itan E, which can not be right. And in all of his videos he never explains what if the fourth note is a sharp. And then you have 2 of the same notes in a scale which is wrong of course. I wrote down all the major scale in another one of his video about all 7 modes. And I came into this problem over & over. Where when using a mode that either flattens or raises the note. It gives me two of the same notes. Maybe this is common sense to most. But I'm lost. I wish someone would explain it. Not everybody knows what you know. People just take it for granted that you know what they know. My brother is trying to learn the same stuff as me. And I was going to turn him on to this guys channel. But he gets lost easier then me. Just wondering if I need to keep looking for someone else's channel that maybe doesn't skip over key details. When I find a good teacher I will watch there videos over & over until I have masted it. Besides this issue, I like his videos. He speaks clearly lots of pictures to make it easy to understand. There just some little things that are left out. Which turn into BIG things when trying to learn stuff like this./ But I'm lost why the 4 fourth note isn't raised in a lydian here
