SPELLED 1 - 2 - 3 - #4 - 5 - 6 - b7 - 8

Lydian b7 is the 4th mode of the Melodic Minor scale. It has the #4 like Lydian and the b7 like Mixolydian. It is a surprisingly common scale in popular music ... particularly where the IV chord is a 7 chord with that all-important b7. As usual, there are 12 fingerings for it in our normal chromatic "box" orientation. Do you need to know all 12? Not unless you want to be the next Modern Jazz "phenom". Try to learn as many as you can ... 4 to 6 is a good figure to shoot for. Start with the easiest ones first ... the ones that have the fewest FINGER SHIFTS. To totally understand your fretboard and how to do finger shifts, visit www.guitar-instruction-free-lessons-online.com/chromatic-scale . Remember, the RED DOT is your ROOT NOTE and these boxes can be moved anywhere on the fretboard to play in all 12 keys.
