	At a basic level, the Super Lydian sound comes from stacking perfect fifths. Stacking them from the root (C-G-D-A-E-B-F♯) results in the set of notes in the Lydian scale. Extending the sequence (C-G-D-A-E-B-F♯-C♯) reveals a new brighter note directly outside of Lydian, commonly referred to as the ♯15. The ♯15 chord-extension is the '''same note''' as the ♭9, but always called a ♯15 in the context of the Super Lydian chords.

	Other compacted patterns that result in a Super Lydian sound include stacking major and minor thirds from the root (C-E-G-B-D-F♯-A-C♯) and the Super Lydian scale, built from stacking Lydian tetrachords (C-D-E-F♯-G-A-B-C♯).
