G Lydian on Vihuela

G Lydian runs 7 notes to the octave. Below it is mapped onto this instrument's A–D–G–B–E fretboard with every G marked, because what a player needs mid-number is not the pattern but where the root is when the harmony moves under it.

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 armonía is not a soloing section, so a scale here is diagnostic rather than melodic: it is how a player finds which tones a grip is actually putting in the air on a neck whose octaves do not run in order.

Take it slowly against the playback until the geometry stops being geometry, then put it under a number in G and let the written line pick its own notes out of it.
