63.43Triad pair #6 — Lydian dominant
Take F7♯11.
Scale:
F G A B C D E♭.
A useful pair:
G major + A diminished?
But rather than force a symmetrical pair, let's use upper triads that clearly reveal the essential color.
A very practical structure:
G major over F gives:
G B D
= 9, ♯11, 13.
That one triad alone is already extremely informative.
