Vital Sign - C# Lydian and climbing in E Aeolian?

Member Discussion Songwriting and Composition

Hi guys,

I’m currently trying to analyse Vital Sign from our Master and, in particular, the climbing.
The first part of climbing is composed of these notes (if I’m not wrong :)): E - F# - G - C - B - A - B
Which it seems to me, E Aeolian (F# as natural 2nd, G as minor 3rd, C as Minor 6th). Am I correct?
The song is in C# Lydian (confirmed in the 7factor lesson).
My question is so: what is the connection between C# Lydian and E Aeolian? Or is there any Key change?

Thanks in advance for any answer or help!

Cheers

Greg

According to the official tabs and some of the lives it is C Lydian. The whole song revolves around C Maj- D Maj, establishing that Lydian sound. From here on I think you’ll understand. :wink:

Yes you’re totally right, I was tired… it’s C :slight_smile:

If I make mistake on finding notes on the E string, maybe, I should review something more basic :rofl: :joy: :rofl:
