Lydian dominant scale on C

The Lydian dominant scale, or Lydian ♭7 scale[1], is a synthetic scale which, starting on C, runs C D E F♯ G A B♭ C. Its name refers to the presence of an augmented fourth as in the Lydian mode (C D E F♯ G A B C) and a minor seventh as in the dominant 7th chord (C E G B♭). It is the 4th mode of the ascending melodic minor scale, and is also known as the acoustic scale or the "Overtone scale". [2].
