F# Lydian Scale in Open E Tuning

F# Lydian Scale in Open E Tuning shows the same f# lydian scale pitch classes across 6 strings tuned E B E G# B E. The tuning changes where the same pitch classes sit across the fretboard.

Scale notes: F#, G#, A#, B#, C#, D#, E#
Formula: 1 2 3 #4 5 6 7
Semitones: 0 2 4 6 7 9 11
Parent scale: C# major
Tuning: E B E G# B E
Strings: 6
Open pitch range: E2 to E4
24-fret range: E2 to E6

Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to F# Lydian Scale: string 3 G# (2). None of those open-string tones is the F# root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest E string, the first-octave scale pattern falls at frets 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11, with the F# root at fret 2. On the highest E string, the first F# is at fret 2.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play F# Lydian Scale on the low E string at frets 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G# on open string 3 ring, then connect it to the nearest F# root and two other scale tones.
Connect the F# root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 2, 7, 2, 10, 7, and 2, adding the nearest scale tone between each pair of roots.
