This lesson is about the Bb Mixolydian mode and we're going to play this over track 10 of the Let’s Jam! CD Jazz & Blues, which is a one chord vamp on Bb7. The Bb Mixolydian mode is a variation of the Bb major scale and has a flat 7th. |

| Bb Mixolydian contains the notes Bb C D Eb F G Ab Bb. Bb Major contains the notes Bb C D Eb F G A Bb. The only difference is the note Ab, which is the flat 7. We use the flat 7 because the chord Bb7 contains the note Ab. Bb Mixolydian also has the same notes as the Eb Major scale. This means that Eb major and Bb Mixolydian are for all practical purposes the same. Here is a Eb Major scale | |||

So you can think of Bb Mixolydian in two ways. One is to play a Bb major scale with a flat 7. The other is to play an Eb Major scale and know that it contains the same notes as Bb Mixolydian. I am going to play this scale over track 10 of the Let’s Jam! CD Jazz & Blues. |
