Time to increase our ability
To handle any type of chord progression we need to build our knowledge of scales
We have already covered
Remember The Major Scale is the Key to Music, know this scale by heart
Now it is time to look at a very important scale especially for blues
If you know your Major Scale pattern then this Mixolydian Scale is very easy to play

Go to the Jam-
I suggest using the chord progression CTB Blues Bop in A Tempo 120
The A Mixolydian Scale will work best when starting the A Mixolydian Scale run on the A Major chord moving into the A7 chord
Try using the A Minor Pentatonic first all the way through the chord progression, then the F# Major Pentatonic the second time, then combining the A Mixolydian and A Major Scale the third time to get an idea of the distinct difference in feel you can create
Then just mix and match any and all scales, experiment, have fun
G Major Scale
G Mixolydian Scale
Use the 1st and 2nd fingers for the notes on the Top E string
B -
There is only one note difference between the Major Scale pattern and the Mixolydian Scale
C -
Play the G7 Chord and play the G Mixolydian Scale you can hear how the two work really well together
Now Play the A7 Chord and play the A Mixolydian Scale (This is the same scale but two frets up the guitar neck, starting on the 5th fret) Again you can hear how the two work really well together
Practise this Mixolydian Scale Pattern all over the neck of the Guitar
A Mixolydian Scale
A Mixolydian Scale and A7th Chord superimposed over the Mixolydian Scale
See how the 7th chord is made up from notes of the Mixolydian Scale?
So as 7th chords are very common for Blues this allows for the Mixolydian Scales to be used too
If you have a Blues in the Key of A then the A Mixolydian Scale could be used
If you have a Blues in the Key of G then the G Mixolydian Scale could be used
If you have a Blues in the Key of Bb then the Bb Mixolydian Scale could be used etc…etc… along with all the other scales covered so far
Also this does not just apply to the Blues, all this information can be applied to any type of music
