That’s exactly right- this is simply a convenient way to play the mixolydian mode. The simpler we can make complicated topics, the more applicable they become in our every day playing. Test this out on the 12 bar blues and see what you come up with. Rock on!

Thanks for your comment! The concept of Mixolydian comes from a larger conversation about these things we call modes. Modes are types of scales (like major and minor), and Mixolydian is simply one of those modes. Depending on the chord progression of a song, we can often “spice up” the feel by using modes other than straightforward major or minor scales. You see, the scales you can play when improvising entirely depend on the chord progression, and modes allow us to tackle these. Good luck!

Should be a lot of fun switching between the two pentatonic scales.

Glad I could help. Have fun playing and keep up the spirit. Remember you always have a choice in what you think. Think about the good things in life.

I’m a beginner and I have never heard the term “Mixolydian”. This mixolydian thing is a new term to me. I’m gonna try these exercises. Since it is in tablature it is easy to play. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Klaus sir,
Thank you for creating the post “How to Hold a Guitar – Proper Posture and Hand Positioning”. Thank you for considering my request. I appreciate your kindness. Whenever I feel down I read your articles and obtain the motivation and energy to play. I got new energy after reading your blog. I continue guitar playing because of you and your articles.
