Chord & FretLydian on electric guitar (F)
Lydian in F: F – G – A – B – C – D – E. 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 — it is the CAGED E form; the lowest tonic sits on the 6th string, fret 1, 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.
Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
One box of Lydian on electric guitar is the start: the other 4 positions of this neck follow in the app. In Chord & Fret, you press play and watch each note light up on the diagram the instant it sounds; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
