Lydian Rock Ballad

Hi Guys,

Welcome to my lesson No. 85 called "Lydian rock ballad". The melodramatic feel of this mode is one of my favorite.
The lydian mode vis constructed like this:

1 2 3 #4 5 6 7

As you can see there's only a small difference to the normal major mode. We have a #4 instead of the normal 4.

So let's have some fun Have with it!


The structure of the Jam track:

A Part 0:00-0:22
E |% | % | % |
G#m |% | % |G#m D#m7#5|

A Part 0:23-0:38
E |% | % | % |
G#m |% | % |G#m C#m7 |


B Part 0:39 -0:55
D |% | F#m | % |
D |% | D#m7b5| G#7sus4 G#7|

A Part 0:56-1:20
E |% | % | % |
G#m |% | % |G#m D#m7 |


Have fun! ;-)
