Chord & FretLydian augmented on guitar (C)
Lydian augmented in C: C – D – E – F# – G# – A – B. On the guitar, six strings open the scale into wide shapes — there is room to choose the region of the neck that sings best. 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. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
Practice it tonic to tonic — hearing degree 1 at both ends anchors the scale's sound.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
This is one shape of Lydian augmented on guitar — this neck alone holds 4 more mapped positions. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and turn on the built-in metronome at the same BPM.
