0:00.0	Okay, so the Lydian dominant is a scale based off of the melodic minor sound.
0:28.2	It is.
0:29.1	Is it?
0:29.5	Okay, good.
0:29.9	This is going to be another one, sort of like the altered scale, or award-winning altered scale, where we have two different ways of looking at it, but that might help some people.
0:37.5	It's the fourth mode of melodic minor. So if we have two different ways of looking at it, but that might help some people. It's the fourth mode
0:38.2	of melodic minor.
0:39.3	So if we have our D-flat,
0:40.2	Melidian.
0:41.6	Melidian!
0:34.1	Oh! We have our D-flat, Lidion, dominant. It's based off of an A-flat melodic minor. So, in D. Ascending. Ascending. Oh, my gosh.
0:35.0	This classical dude.
0:35.4	Okay.
0:54.2	So for D-flat, Lidium, Dominant, we have D-flat, E-flat, F, G-natural, A-flat, B-flat, C-flat, D-flat. So it's just like a dominant scale.

1:29.7	Our Lydian dominant, we just sharp that force.
1:31.9	We have a G natural here as you so eloquently just played.
1:37.4	Now, would you normally hear, because actually what came out of the altered scale discussion in an episode, I think, that was great, was the different ways we think about it, the different ways that we hear that scale and sound. Yeah. And then different ways that we, that that leads to us applying it in improvised situations. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're not learning these so that we can have a theoretical mastery of it. We're not theory professors. Right. It might seem like we are. But we really want to try to
2:02.8	help connect you guys with different approaches to applying this to your improv. Yeah, that's right.
2:08.2	And so, like, would you normally hear this as more of a Lydian scale with a dominant seventh or a
2:16.1	dominant seventh scale with a raise fourth? I think of this as a dominant scale with a dominant seventh or a dominant seventh scale with a raise fourth.
