Today let's take a look at chords in the Lydian mode!
I'm going to show you some super effective 2 chord vamps to get a dreamy lydian sound in your chord progressions.
We can easily play it with open chords we already know, but I'm also going to show you barre shapes so you can play them in any key you want!
Enjoy :-)

For Prince fans, I now know that Sometimes It Snows in April was written in E Lydian. Arguably the most beautiful song written in Lydian. (to me).
I was thinking the same thing ! Glad to know there are more prince fans out there. Sometimes it snows in April, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written....
Lydian is a favorite mode of mine too. I sometimes use phrygian or locrian as well. I have been trying some harmonic/melodic modes just recently. Using these modes gets us out of our usual way of thinking and playing, so I am grateful to see a lesson like this one. I am a lucky man to have the best guitar instructor on the web. Thank you Antoine.
Thank you for bringing the beauty of the Lydian mode to my attention. I will be getting into this for sure.
So thhhhayyyytttss why I like sliding open chords around. I love Lydian, that’s why!
Love how you sing your notes out ...this is a great way to write as well. Hearing a sound in my thoughts. Then finding on the instruments. That is how I came up with intricate drum parts.
This is super helpful, and easy to understand, great video! Thanks!
Excellent Lesson!!
👍👍
Great thinking about finding the alternative chords 😀thanks for the lesson.
Sounds really cool Antoinne!
Thank you for your explanation on the Lydia mode '' my favourite favourite of all... I am so Spaced Out playing'' this. Aerie sound beautiful.. And I haven't even begun to touch surface.. Thank you for your explanatory💯💯💯💯
Hey Antoine, great video very informative. Thanks! 🎸
Love it ! Subscribed!
You deserve a lot more likes! Very ethereal uplifting sound ty :)
So do you
Amazing ❤
Fine lesson thank you... now it's up to us to resolve these vamp. Keep up the very good work
Great tips! Thanks!
I like Lydian mode. Definitely gonna implement this in a future post. Thanx fer sharin'
Excellent class! Thanks from Brazil!
Sounds wonderful! God bless you all and stay safe 💗
Alternative thought: While, yes, the D - E wanting to resolve to F#m *is* a bVI bVII i cadence in the key of F#m, and D - E wanting to resolve to A *is* VI V I cadence in the key of A major, D Lydian can be thought of, alternatively, as A major starting on the 4th note. I think that it is important to note, as A ionian/major, B dorian, C# phrygian, D lydian, E mixolydian, F# aeolian/minor, and G# locrian are *all* the same notes. It's also why the D - E progression drags us back to A and F#m and why those chords sound refreshing and resolved - it's not just because they are popular, predictable cadences, but the notes are all part of A major (and the E is the V chord, which naturally resolves to a I), of which F# is the relative minor.
A lot of words to describe "this sounds cool"
@@watchyourtoneman5061 It takes a lot of words to describe WHY "this sounds cool". Your point is taken however. I have used those chords for years just cause they sound cool.
Doug, its been a while but thank you for pointing this out so perfectly. 👍
Hey Antoine, great video! Interesting how when you get to the Lydian chord, it's a dominant 7th chord with the 7th in the bass. This is a really simple and effective approach to doing a I-II7 progression in the Lydian mode!
Thank you !
Si simple et si efficace!
This lesson is just a bless 🎉
Thanks so much for the inspiration in the genre of Ambient Guitar . I'm taking all I've learned about the music and pedals, from you and others and adding it to my New Age ish project NOUVEAU PAPILLON. Our upcoming album will feature some Ambient guitar and Ambient Harp, which will eventually make it into one of our Planetarium shows. Thanks from fellow Canadian in Arizona!
Dreamy like video. Very lydian😉. Thx bro.
Tres bien Antoine
Please make a video about the other degrees of the lydian mode!
I loved this video by the way.
Lovely 💯
And what about the rest of the chords that take part on a lydian mode? Do you have any video on that? How to make a progression of more than those two chords with the rest?
The I and II chords in Lydian are the only ones which strongly imply the mode. The other chords aren't Lydian "sounding" enough to imply the mode, and will pull the listener towards the relative major tonic. If you want to know what chords you can use even if it means losing the Lydian flavour, the root note of your given Lydian mode is the fourth of its parent major scale and use whatever chords you like the sound of from that major key.
Make a video for us Leticia! You seem to have an excellent knowledge of it all!
Thats indeed a good question. I would like it if they would tell us more about the other chords.
Reminds me of the intros of 'Hole Hearted' by Extreme and 'Pleasure Dome' by Van Halen. Nice video. Thanks!
Foo Fighters used these a lot in their earlier sound. I love it!
Very beautiful, indeed! Thank you! I also loved the sound of the guitar. I wonder what pedals were on...
I didn't know what is lyndian, but i liked the way you play with notes.
The E lydian chords = Rush - Xanadu
Thanks for the tutorial...well! In your video only two chords you have shown...is there other chords of lydian that we can create like diatonic chord progressions...
Would hav ebben good the see pdf of a full chord scale
This lesson my God !!!!! But is it the same way to all rest of keys ? For example is I am in the key of (Dorian) will I use the same way ?
I’m not sure if it is Lydian, but this progression reminds me of the intro to “Birthday” by Blur (and the guitar is reversed for extra coolness :)
Lydian mode is bascially those harmonies you create in your mind, find it beautiful, but cannot know how to express it.
If only the 4th is raised then why does the 1 3 and 5 go up a half step too?
Well...i see the video is fairly old but.....how about Phrygian chords?
I do stuff like that all the time but I haven't got a clue about music theory. I just play by ear, experiment with fingers on different frets, sometimes with open strings and just use what sounds good. Is that wrong?
What sounds good is never wrong!
To me this has always been the dream theater scale lol
Satriani for me haha
0:00 Radiohead ❤️
Wich song?
@@BitIgnLive Nice Dream ❤️
Do you have Patreon ?
I have something similar, but not on Patreon. I call it my ''Inner Circle'' where you get monthly live calls with me, guitar challenges, and access to a private forum group with me. Link is here: www.ambientguitaracademy.com/inner-circle-website Thanks!
Ton accent me fais sentir chez moi ah ah
Why is it called a tri-tone when there are only 2-notes? Thank You
I think it's because the distance between both notes is THREE whole steps! I agree, the logic is weird here.
@@AntoineMichaudGuitar Thank You Antoine
Ok who else was thinking Xanadu?
Sounds like ET
