G Lydian Scale
Major with a raised 4th — dreamy, floating, cinematic.
On the keyboard
Green marks the root. Fingering is shown for the major scales, where the standard is settled; for this scale teachers genuinely differ, so start from the major-scale fingering in the same key and adjust to your hand.

The chords inside it
Stack every other note of the scale and these seven chords fall out. Nobody chose them — they are a consequence of the spacing. Tap one to hear it.
