Greetings from Granada (Andalucia, Spain)!

This is an experiment using Lydian b7 scale. I composed a song to play rhythm and solos with this rare scale. As the name indicates it is a lydian scale with a lowered seventh. The Lydian b7 is the fourth mode of the melodic minor scale, and is great for dominant 7th chords as an alternative to mixolydian.

Music Style:
Hard Rock

Tonality & Chords:
G (Lydian b7)
D (Pentatonic minor)

Techniques:
bending, legato, chords, octaves

Sound:
I used a Gibson LP Gold with a little of delay and overdrive.

Tuning:
Normal tunnig: E,A,D,G,B,E

Tempo:
142bpm (Slow parts at 71 bpm)
