Lydian Scale — All 12 Keys
Lydian in all 12 keys for guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano — notes, scale degrees, and free printable charts. A major scale with a raised 4th, creating a dreamy, floating quality — a favorite in film scores and modern jazz.
How the lydian is built
The lydian has 7 notes, with the scale degrees R · 2 · 3 · #4 · 5 · 6 · 7. Those degrees stay the same in every key — only the note names change — which is why the same shape moves up and down the neck.
