G Lydian, Upright Bass Side

7 notes to the octave, mapped below onto this reader's EADG fingerboard, with every G called out. Those markers are the useful part mid-bar: a chart moves under you, and the thing you need is where the root went — not where the pattern started.

Major with a raised 4th (#4) — dreamy, ethereal, and floating. Often called the brightest mode, with an otherworldly suspended quality.

Heard in: Film scores, progressive rock, jazz — Joe Satriani's "Flying in a Blue Dream", John Williams, Steve Vai.

The walk from one number to the next has further to travel on this instrument, so the notes it passes through are chosen for the distance as much as for the harmony.

Play it slowly against the audio until the position stops being a position, then take it to a chart counted in G and let the numbers pick their own notes out of it.
