B Lydian, Guitar Side

7 notes to the octave, mapped below onto this reader's EADGBE fretboard, with every B 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.

A chart names the chords and says nothing whatever about the notes between them, so everything a guitarist plays that is not a written chord comes out of a scale that the numbers only imply.

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