Learn the relationship and practical applications of the Lydian b7 and Altered modes with targeted exercises and upper‑structure drills.
This lesson demonstrates how Lydian b7 (mode 4 of melodic minor) and the Altered scale are related by a tritone and how to use that relationship in improvisation and reharmonization. It includes hands‑on exercises: scale patterns, major upper‑structure voicings over Lydian b7, and altered‑scale practice from the Lydian perspective. The video also covers useful upper‑structures for altered dominants (including a minor add9 voicing) and shows how sub‑V substitutions pair with Lydian b7. Backing tracks and a practice PDF are provided to work the exercises at increasing tempos.
