Hello from Kent!
Here’s a scale-related concept that works very well for dressing up the ‘IV’ chord of a major key.
In the key of C major, the IV chord is F; it’s called the ‘IV’ because its root note is the fourth step of the scale.
You might also experiment with this approach over any major chord, such as the ‘I’ (that would be C Major, in the key of C) — depending on the type of sound you’re after.
The scale being used today is called Lydian, which is very closely related to the major scale: only one tone (specifically, the fourth step) is different. My video lesson below goes into depth regarding this intriguing aspect of the Lydian scale (vis-a-vis the Major), and shows you various ways to take advantage of its unique sound.

Hi this is Kent, I wanted to give you some raw material for playing some nice fills, when playing the IV chord, such as the F chord in the key of C.

And in this lesson. The fills that I’m going to be talking about will be based on a scale called the Lydian scale.

We’ll be talking about the Lydian scale as we go along. And the context of this using this Lydian scale in this lesson would be when you go to the IV chord in a song.

The I chord in C is C major (the chord).

The IV chord would be F.
