How to use the Cb lydian #6
scale
The Lydian #6 scale modifies the Lydian mode by raising the sixth note, creating a bright and slightly exotic sound.
tip
The Lydian #6 scale adds a raised 6th (VI#) to the Lydian mode, creating a bright, almost ethereal sound. Use it in jazz fusion, progressive rock, or modern classical music.
Focus on the sharp 6th (VI#) and sharp 4th (IV#) to create uplifting, tension-filled melodies that still resolve smoothly.
Incorporate the Lydian #6 scale into solos over major chords, where the raised 6th adds harmonic color and richness.
Blend this scale with whole-tone or augmented scales to explore more expansive, symmetrical harmonic ideas in fusion and jazz.
Use this scale in film scoring or ambient music to evoke futuristic or surreal atmospheres, perfect for adding brightness without losing harmonic complexity.
