What is the Mixolydian scale?
Mixolydian is the fifth mode of the major scale — a major scale with a lowered seventh. It is the sound of a dominant seventh chord spelled out as a scale, and the default choice over blues, rock and funk vamps.
イ Mixolydian uses the same notes as ニ メジャー, started from degree 5 instead of the first. The notes are shared; the tonic, and therefore the sound, is not.
イ Mixolydian is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
