    Lydian Dominant - Scale Derived 1

    Uploaded by

    Bill Richardson
    The document discusses the Lydian dominant scale. It explains that the Lydian dominant scale is derived from the Lydian mode of the major scale, but with a flattened seventh degree, similar to how the melodic minor scale is derived from the major scale with a flattened third. The Lydian dominant scale can also be thought of as the fourth mode of the melodic minor scale. An example is provided of the F Lydian dominant scale.

    THE LYDIAN DOMINANT

    First of all, lets take a look at C Major Scale for example.

    Remembering these scale for comparing with the C melodic minor Scale:

    Comparing these two scale diagram we can see that the melodic minor scale came
    from the Major scale with flatten third. Then every time you see a Major scale with
    flatten third it is a Melodic minor scale, the original melodic minor scale. Easy!!!
    Then lets take a look at modes. In Major scale (if youve already known) based on
    the fourth degree of the scale it was F Lydian scale (Mode). Same as the Major
    scale, the fourth degree of the scale in Melodic minor scale is F Lydian scale but with
    the flatten seventh. That is the Lydian Dominant Scale, in this case is F Lydian
    dominant scale. Lets take a look at the diagram.

    Finally, weve know that the Lydian Dominant scale came from the Lydian mode in
    Major scale with flatten seventh which is also the fourth degree of Melodic minor
    scale.
