What do you think guys? - Tonality question for Josh, Devine

[jem7vwh]

Hmm...I've been working on a song for a while and I've been focussing so hard I can't remember how this works. *The whole point to this composition was to write a song whose solo was in E Lydian. *Now here's the question. *How would you determine that it was in E Lydian?

For instance, If I played the E Lydian mode over and E it would be easy, but when it comes to other chords should I play over other chords from the E Major scale to make the sharp 4 obvious or those from E Lydian? *I think if I play over chords from E Lydian the whole thing will end up sounding like B Major, but if I play that sharp 4 over chords with the natural 4 will it sound dissonant? *Any clarification?
