In this video, I explore and compose a song using the Lydian Sharp 2 Mode. It's the 6th mode of the Harmonic Minor Scale. I discuss what makes it different from Ionian (Major) and Lydian. It also has a surprising feature that is not very common: it has a minor chord AND a major chord on the tonic.
I use a 2022 American Original 60s Telecaster Thinline to demonstrate
In the final version I use:
Guitar: 2022 American Original 60s Telecaster Thinline
