    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydian_chord

    Lydian chords may function as subdominants or substitutes for the tonic in major keys. [3] The compound interval of the augmented eleventh (enharmonically equivalent to ♯ 4, the characteristic interval of the Lydian mode) is used since the simple fourth usually only appears in suspended chords (which replace the third with a natural fourth, for example C sus4).

    The First chord, EΔ13, contains the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th degrees of the E major scale. A common choice here might have been the Ionian mode (major scale), but Satriani prefers the Lydian scale with its ♯4 - which is a perfectly acceptable choice as the chord itself does not specify ♮4 or ♯4.

    The 4th mode of the Neapolitan major, also known as the Lydian Dominant ♭ 6 scale, is an excellent choice for the 9 ♯ 11 ♭ 13 chord. Said mode contains all the alterations plus the ♮ 5. A whole tone scale is often used but that mode tends to be minus the ♮ 5 that the Lydian Minor contains.
