Pure Groove: Uplifting Backing Track in F Lydian

Free guitar lesson

This is easily one of our favourite tracks to jam along to with its addictive rhythm and uplifting chord progression. Its tonal centre is also based around F Lydian, which makes it extra fun to jam to!


Scales: F Lydian (C major)

This backing track feels very much like it's in a Lydian key, as the F feels like the resolve and tonal centre in the track. It is theoretically in the key of C major of course, as F is the 4th of C and the fourth degree is Lydian. If you like you can also just think of it as A minor and use your lovely A minor pentatonic. Below we have written out the C major pentatonic scale shapes and the F lydian (C major) scales across the neck. We've also thrown in a few F major 7th arpeggios for good measure! Have fun!
