Hey Indiana, Have you ever heard of the "lydian scale?" It looks like this: The lydian scale is a mode of the major scale.  Now, if the words "lydian" and "mode" sound like rocket science to you, don't worry!  In a second I'll share something with you that will once and for all demystify those scary music theory terms for you.  The important thing to know for now, is that the lydian scale has a unique sound that can sound amazing over jazz chords! Take the jazz standard Autumn Leaves as an example: Notice on the Ebmaj7 chord, you can play a lydian scale, which brings out the sound of that chord.  But jazz musicians will also use the lydian scale to add some spice to chords and add some interesting sounds to their solos (such as the maj7#11 chord).  Because I think the lydian scale has some great potential to help you imagine new sounds you can experiment with in your solos, we just published a free lesson on the lydian scale.  Go check it out, and see how the lydian scale can be a great tool when playin jazz!
