C Lydian Scale in Two-Octave Scales & Modes on Bass

CASEY CORMIER: Okay. So let us take a look at our fourth mode, the Lydian mode. The C major and we will look at any intervals and scale degrees that are altered. So we got C which is 1, D, E now F sharp, that is the difference. So we have a 1-2-3-sharp 4. So we have seen flattened scale degrees before. Now we see a sharpened scale degree 1-2-3-sharp 4-5-6-7-1. The only altered degree is the sharp 4. This is actually called a tritone from C to F sharp and usually it would be found in diminished scale if we are thinking about it but we find it now in our Lydian. Now the G major, the G Ionian, is the relative of the C Lydian okay, see G-A-B-C, 1-2-3-4, 4th scale degree, and then we call this one when we are talking about Lydian to see where the altered scale degrees are. Now E flat and you use the movable form here E flat, F, G, A natural, usually we have an A flat if it was an E flat major, D flat, C, D and E flat and the relative major Ionian would be B flat, one string above.
