The Lydian dominant scale, or Lydian music|flat7 scale [Fewell, Garrison. "Sessions: Lydian-Dominant Strategies", "Guitar Player" 32:2 (February 1998), p. 154-155.] , is a synthetic scale which, starting on C, runs C D E Fmusic|sharp G A Bmusic|flat C. Its name refers to the presence of an augmented fourth as in the Lydian mode (C D E Fmusic|sharp G A B C) and a minor seventh as in the dominant 7th chord (C E G Bmusic|flat). It is the 4th mode of the ascending melodic minor scale, and is also known as the acoustic scale or the "Overtone scale". [Persichetti, Vincent (1961). "Twentieth-Century Harmony."
