The Lydian scale can be described as a major scale with the fourth scale degree raised a semitone, making it an augmented fourth above the tonic; e.g., an F-major scale with a B ♮ rather than B ♭. That is, the Lydian mode has the following formula:
The Ionian mode corresponds to the major scale. Scales in the Lydian mode are major scales with an augmented fourth. The Mixolydian mode corresponds to the major scale with a minor seventh. The Aeolian mode is identical to the natural minor scale. The Dorian mode corresponds to the natural minor scale with a major sixth.

The book is the founding text of the Lydian Chromatic Concept (LCC), or Lydian Chromatic Theory (LCT).
This cycle of 48 notes is a sequence of the first four notes of each major scale in the order of fifths from the circle of fifths. This cycle also contains all the Major/Ionian scales (overlapping) in the order of fifths with Dorian, Phrygian and Lydian modes also included for each Major group (e.g. C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian).
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.
In music, the acoustic scale, overtone scale, [1] Lydian dominant scale (Lydian ♭ 7 scale), [2] [3] or the Mixolydian ♯ 4 scale is a seven-note synthetic scale. It is the fourth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale .
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).
