	Mixolydian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It may be considered as having the same order of tones and semitones as the major scale except the fifth (dominant) note is taken as the tonic or starting pitch of the scale.
		The G Mixolydian mode (Based on C major - on a piano it is all the white keys from one G to the next)
		In Greek theory, the Mixolydian is the Hypolydian mode inverted: a descending scale of a whole tone followed by two inverted Lydian tetrachords (each being two whole tones followed by a semitone descending).

	Musical mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, in Irish traditional music the ionian, dorian, aeolian and mixolydian modes occur (in roughly decreasing order of frequency); the phrygian mode is an important part of the flamenco sound.
		The Mixolydian mode has a flat 7th degree relative to the Ionian; this creates a I7, a v minor, and a VII major chord.
		Mixolydian is identical to Ionian, except that the 7th note in the scale is lowered one half-step.

		So we note that the mixolydian mode is the 5th mode of the major scale, and that its step pattern is WW1/2WW1/2W.
		So we note that the mixolydian mode is the 5th mode of the major scale.
		Recalling from above that the mixolydian mode contains the same notes (pitches) as the ionian mode, it also contains the same chords (starting with the 5th chord of the ionain mode).

	CGR: Help with modes
		G Mixolydian would sound great over an extended V/IV chord, because the "lowered 7th" would make for a nice dominant 7 tonality on the V/IV chord, which would strengthen the tonicization of IV (again, however, this isn't really G Mixolydian at all, but simply G with a "lowered 7th").
		G Mixolydian to G Major), because the former more accurately represents the concept of modality and is closer to the actual way that modes were first introduced/used in music.
		I think it was because I was treating the C as a seventh because it was the seventh scale degree of D Mixolydian, and I was working with the assumption that we were in the Mixolydian mode already.

	Music: Melody: Modes: Mixolydian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Mixolydian is one of the three major modes, with one less sharp (or one more flat) in its key signature than the "standard" major mode, Ionian.
		Mixolydian has long been used to express ecstasy -- the joy that runs deeper and broader than the sunny happiness of Ionian.
		Mixolydian often carries a sweeping, dramatic quality, as you can hear in much movie and TV theme music (for example, the theme songs to the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation and to the movie Jurassic Park).

	Modes, Keys, and Tunings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		For example, if you have the six and a half fret, and you tune DAD, you have the Mixolydian scale with its lowered seventh (the sixth fret), and you have the Ionian scale with the usual seventh (the six and a half fret).
		When you tune to a mode (rather than capoing), the bass string is always in the Mixolydian mode and the middle string is in the Ionian modes because the tonic of the key is on the open string and at the third fret respectively.
		An advantage of using the capo method of changing modes is that you can tune the three strings so their modes are compatible and then put the capo on for different compatible modes.

	Modes question - Musician Forums
		Mixolydian in the key of C Major is G Mixolydian
		Which means you would only use mixolydian over a C chord when you're in the key of F major.
		Otherwise, the only reason you would use mixolydian over a C chord when the chord itself does not reflect a mixolydian degree would be a) to add in colour or b) you're a moron.

		The only difference between these two scales is that in F mixolydian you have an A--and in Bb mixolodian you have an Ab.
		Using mixolydian modes is something you do when you are a more advanced improvisor.
		The fact that you even had to ask the question of what to do with these chord changes shows to me that you are a relative novice (no offense intended, just stating the obvious).

		These types of chromatic Mixolydian lines are most commonly found in jazz and country styles, as well as modern blues.
		Chromaticism may also be used any time you are faced with a group of notes spanning the interval of a minor 3rd (the interval distance of four half steps) along the same string (ascending or descending).
		Similarly, chromaticism may also be used any time you are faced with a group of notes spanning the interval of a major 3rd (the interval distance of five half steps) along the same string (ascending or descending), though this approach is a bit more difficult to execute if you don't know the fret board thoroughly.

		That's the G Mixolydian scale, which, to me, has a bright, major-like flavor with a hint of wildness.

		In this portion of the lesson, the Mixolydian mode used to outline each chord from a G blues—G7, C7, and D7 (G Mixolydian, C Mixolydian, and D Mixolydian, respectively)—will be presented, its notes oriented solely along the 6th string (up to the 12th fret) as a foundation for future basslines.
		In this portion of the lesson we'll focus on “voice leading” your basslines' notes (all from Mixolydian scales) so that they land on a tone that's a part of each forthcoming chord (e.g., landing on either the “root,” “3rd,” “5th,” or “b7” on the downbeat of each measure fraturing a “new” chord).
		For the curious, various approaches towards chromaticizing the Mixolydian mode were covered way back in Psycho Lick #7 (Mixolydian Mayhem).

	mixolydian - type of musical mode or scale
		Boethius, in his description of ancient Greek usage, stated that the mixolydian mode was a musical scale which would be represented in modern form as the octave-species from B to B, in ascending order thus ("t" = whole-tone, "s" = semitone):
		Note that this example illustrates the diatonic genus -- the various ancient Greek modes had variant interval structures, depending on the genus and shade.
		In ecclesiastical and modern usage, dating from the incorrect application of Boethius's names to the system of church modes in the Alia Musica (c.870), the mixolydian mode is the diatonic octave-species from G to G, in ascending order thus ("t" = whole-tone, "s" = semitone):

		The sharp may be derived from the mixture of the Dorian and Mixolydian modes.
		Previously, Mixolydian was shown to shift the tonic to G; however, if D is maintained as the Mixolydian tonic, an alternate version of the tone normally labeled as F is found.
		When Dorian, Aeolian and Mixolydian are mixed together, a total of nine tones results, including one sharp and one flat.

	Modes and the Dulcimer
		You might think that if you can change modes from mixolydian to ionian by simply putting the capo on at the third fret, that you might be able to change to other modes by capoing elsewhere.
		i.e., the notes in a D mixolydian scale are the same notes as in an E aeolian scale, as in a G Ionian scale, etc. If we retune to get into the mode, the notes change.
		I've already touched on this, when I mentioned that you can play either the mixolydian or ionian modes in the key of D while tuned to DAd, by using the 6 fret for the mixolydian, and the 6+ fret for the ionian.

	Theory/modes question - Discussion Forums
		My first pass at working this out had me certain that the song was in A Aeolian (the natural minor scale), which uses b3, b6, and b7 (instead of their normal notes in those positions), making a set of chords that is consistent with those used in the song.
		Then I was reading something that said if the primary chord (besides the root) in a song is the bVII, then you are in the Mixolydian mode (which uses a b7 instead of a 7) and went on to say that the bVII chord is _the_ Mixolydian chord.
		The Mixolydian is a fair choice given this F-G-A thing, but that progression is short and passing and doesn't necessarily have to be centered around.

	"Improv' 101"
		Using the major scale, one can create the mixolydian mode, by lowering the seventh scale degree by one half step; that is accomplished here by changing the B-natural to a B-flat.
		The same way we took the major scale and lowered certain notes to spell out new modes, it is possible to take the major seventh chord and spell out dominant and minor seventh chords by lowering certain pitches by half-step.
		To sum up, if you remember a couple of quick shorthand rules, it is fairly simple to spell out your dominant and minor seventh chords, or remember your mixolydian and dorian modes, if you know your major scales to start with.
