    This document provides an example of a C lydian progression. It explains that C lydian is derived from the G major scale. The progression is built by playing a C major 7 chord followed by a D dominant 7 chord over the root note of C, creating a I-II lydian sound. This formula of playing the 4th and 5th chords over the modal root note is described as the basic way to build modal progressions.

    Performance Notes

    This is an example of a C lydian progression.


    Here is how I built the progression. C lydian comes from the key of G major. The chords derived from G major are as follows.
    1 G major
    2 A minor
    3 B minor
    4 C major
    5 D major
    6 E minor
    7 F# diminished

    By extending the harmony you get

    1 G major7
    2 A minor7
    3 B minor7
    4 C major7
    5 D dominant7
    6 E minor7
    7 F# half diminished (minor7 bfive)

    You take the mode you want which in this example we are using lydian and use that as your root note. Since lydian is based off the fourth
    degree of the major scale that would be the C note.
    Stack the 4 chord over C which is C major triad over C ( CM/C).
    Stack the 5 chord over C which is D major triad over C (DM/C).
    Play those chords consecutively so that you are playing the 4 chord to the 5 chord over C.
    The basic formula for building modal progressions is that you take the root note of the mode you want and play the 4 and 5 chord over that
    root note.
