Track 8A Mixolydian Mode |
|
|
|
||
|
This lesson is about the A Mixolydian mode and we're going to play this over track 8 of the Let’s Jam! CD Jazz & Blues. This track is a classic example of a Dorian style chord progression, but we are going to use A Mixolydian, which is a variation of the A major scale & has a flat 7th. |

A Mixolydian
|
 |
|
| A Mixolydian contains the notes A B C# D E F# G A. A Major contains the notes A B C# D E F# G# A. The only difference is the G. We use the flat 7 because the chord A13 contains the note G. Now you might say, “why don’t we use E Dorian?” | ||
E Dorian
|
 |
|
|
Well, E Dorian has the same notes as D major - D E F# G A B C# D. |
||
D Major
|
 |
|
|
A Mixolydian also has the same notes as D Major. All three scales (A Mixolydian, E Dorian, and D Major) contain the same notes, including an F# & C#. A Mixolydian equals E Dorian and D Major. Let’s try all three over the Let’s Jam! CD Jazz & Blues. Here is the cool part. Because I am thinking A Mixolydian, I’ll play differently than if I’m thinking E Dorian. Because I'm used to playing differently over a dominant chord than a minor chord, I will play different riffs, phrases, etc. over this chord progression. So it brings out different ideas by thinking in different ways. I am going to play A Mixolydian over the Let’s Jam! CD Jazz & Blues. Try and listen to the sound and experiment with it yourself. |
