Bb Lydian

The Bb Lydian mode (also written A#) — Bb C D E F G A — shown across the guitar neck.

Also written A# Lydian. A# and Bb are the same pitch, though spelling it from A# would need double accidentals (A# B# C## D## E# F## G##), which is why Bb is the name in use.

Swipe the neck sideways to see the higher frets.

Bb Lydian is the major scale with one note changed — the #4, E. That single note is what the mode sounds like; lean on it and the colour is obvious, avoid it and you are just playing major.
