Chord & FretLydian on guitar (F)
Lydian in F: F – G – A – B – C – D – E. 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 — 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. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
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.
This is one shape of Lydian 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; flip between position boxes and three-notes-per-string, with CAGED forms named; and turn on the built-in metronome at the same BPM.
