Hey, folks.
Recently, I've been watching a lot of Rick Beato videos where he mentions the lydian triad (1-#4-5), and I'm starting to get the hang of it as a sort of sus(#4) chord, but I've heard him speak about extending the chord with a major seventh, giving the lyd(maj7) chord. I've found this chord difficult to voice without it sounding exceedingly dissonant, for there are two minor seconds -- if we're playing Glyd(maj7), there's the F# and G (inverted major seventh of 7 and 1), and C# and D (#4 and 5). We can easily play the G and F# as a major seventh, and we could also easily omit the fifth, but the sound of G, C#, and F# still sounds pretty unstable to me. Any tips?

For guitar players the two maybe most common:
1 3 #4 7 (root on 4th string)
1 5 7 3 #4 (root on 5th string)
1 7 3 #4 (root on 6th string)Last edited by fep; 08-23-2021 at 10:21 AM.

But, the chord quality is pretty close if you lower the G on the D string to an E.
x32452. Which is easier to play. The G is heard, faintly, as an overtone of the C.
Not the same, but probably can cover the other one.

Cma7(#11) with the B and C in the same octave and the F# and G in the same octave.

Writing the sideways saves on virtual paper: x.10.11.11.12.x and 3444xx -- I think you meant this, not 3445xx?

Ha! Yes, you are correct….typo on my part! I’m brand new to the forum, and I must have struggled for 5 minutes trying to type out the voicing in a way that wasn't confusing to read. Your way is much better!

Thanks for the tip on slant/curved index barre and overtone of fifth - both never occured to me and are immediately useful
