Chord & FretLydian augmented on electric guitar (C)
Lydian augmented in C: C – D – E – F# – G# – A – B. On electric guitar, the slimmer neck invites legato — the same fingering runs with less effort, and the high positions stay comfortable. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, fret 3, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Plugged into an amp, each chord sustains for as long as you hold it, and the tone — clean or driven — shapes the whole sound.
Practice it tonic to tonic — hearing degree 1 at both ends anchors the scale's sound.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
A scale never lives in one box — Lydian augmented on electric guitar has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you press play and watch each note light up on the diagram the instant it sounds; flip between position boxes and three-notes-per-string; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
