5 Awesome (Lydian) Guitar Licks You Should Know

In this video you'll learn 5 awesome guitar licks using the lydian mode that you should know. Here’s what you’ll learn:

First, I’ll explain what the Lydian scale is and how to get that awesome floating and dreamy sound by showing you what to focus on when soloing using the lydian scale.

Next, I’ll show you how to maximize the #4th note in a way that always sounds great; it works every time.

Third, I’ll show you 5 cool licks you should know that are based on the lydian mode. These licks range from easy to kind of hard. I give you all the tab and go through each lick slowly so that it’s easy to understand, easy to learn and easy to master.

The first lick helps you to draw out maximum emotion from the lydian scale by hanging on the raised 4th scale degree.

The second lydian lick shows you how to combine a simple arpeggio with the awesome sounding #11th.

The third lick is a more expression version of the second lick and will give you many cool ideas you can use when learning how to solo in the lydian mode.

The fourth lydian lick expands these concepts further and you’ll see how the raised 4th note changes its feeling when the chords change in the backing track.

The fifth lick is maybe the most fun to play and is based on highly expressive lydian phrasing.


These 5 licks are ones you should know because they create a fantastic basis to create your own licks and guitar solos using the lydian scale and helps you to advance your lead guitar playing and phrasing
