Hopefully this helps..something else that will explain this concept a little better is Joe satrianis pitch axis lesson..just search for it on YouTube..also if you notice in my vid I play an e power chord in the beginning for that exact reason, it establishes the key center. If I didn't (or if I just played a B power chord) it would sound like the plain old major scale! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
You are correct, it's the same thing.. the difference is all in what you play it over..if you play a b maj scale over a bmaj chord it's b major (Ionian). if you play b major over an e major chord it's Lydian.. Which is also basically the same thing as a major, you just sharp the 4.. A good way to really hear the tonality of Lydian, or any mode is to hit the open e string and improvise something using the e Lydian scale.. Focus on the Bb (#4) and it will really emphasize the sound..
sorry for my ignorance, E lydian is on B maj scale(is that what its called? :D) right? how can we determine the difference of E lydian to B natural? i'm quite confused with theories. help pls. ^^
