In this extended lesson, Juan Antonio shows you how to combine three major pentatonic scales so they add up to the Lydian Mode. This is a great way to organize your phrasing when using a seven note mode, and helps to bring out the mode’s characteristic sounds.
I’ve laid out Juan’s scale choices (03:30) below on one part of the neck so you can see how the pieces fit together. I’ve also tabbed out a few of his sweet example licks (10:14) for ya too. Enjoy 🙂
