About the G lydian dominant 7th chord

A lydian dominant 7th chord combines a dominant 7th with a sharp 11th, blending the tension of the dominant function with the brightness of the lydian sound. It is commonly used in jazz as a substitute for a standard dominant chord, particularly in II-V-I progressions.
