Here we are with a track from my album "For A Brother". Allan Holdsworth influences.

The Lydian mode is one of my favorites. It brings a mysterious kind of feel to a major 7th chord and is often used to "open up" a musical piece.

Lydian Phrasing using high-end techniques and chops. Alternate picking, hybrid picking, tapping, legato.

In this lesson David Wallimann presents a piece that alternates between two different keys. Whenever working on a song that modulates, it's important to prepare your leads so that you can start a musical idea in one key to finish it in another.

The Lydian Dominant scale is a great way to sound a bit different on a Dominant 7th chord. These licks should get you started on this great scale!

Five Lydian mode licks!

The Lydian mode is a great way to open up your leads over a Major chord. Let's explore the possibilities of that scale.

Lydian mode is almost the same thing as major scale/ionian mode. The only difference is sharp 4th in Lydian mode. This lesson is riffing only, using downstrokes only most of the time to get that powerful metal like sound.

"B" as the seventh string, "low" and "metal" sounding!
