F lydian mode box shapes
In BLOGoZON No.41 the box shapes for the F LYDIAN MODE were presented using the EDCAG octaves methodology.
In this weeks BLOGoZON the box shapes for the F lydian mode are revisited but this time the undelying
3-note chord/arpeggio is presented i.e. F major.
The easiest example of the lydian mode is rooted on F natural - as it is really the C major scale re-arranged so that it starts with the fourth note (F) rather than the first (C).
Hence the EDCAG octaves sequence is shown for E natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follows show all of the F lydian mode notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's fretboard in both the 
and EDCAG octaves styles:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the F lydian mode are detailed below in the
EDCAG octaves manner:-
All scales and modes have an underlying triad - 3 note chord - that defines their tonality.
In the case of the F lydian mode this is the F major arpeggio - hence the notes for a F major arpeggio
are presented in both the and CAGED octaves styles:-
Similarly the intervals forming a F major arpeggio are shown next:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the F lydian mode and the
F major arpeggio in the EDCAG octaves style.
