think it would be more useful once you show us how to apply this mode (like you mentioned with blues).
it's a clear demonstration of the scale nonetheless.
look forward to your next one
Made a little video lesson again. Pretty short one, I plan to show more ideas of how you can use this scale in a blues. Let me know your thoughts on this one.

Thanks Robert, look forward to the continued use of this scale.. I had a bookmark page already with a blues riff with it.. http://www.ibreathemusic.com/article/112 but haven't seen it played out which your videos help much better at..(seeing is believing.. ) and seems http://jimmybruno.com talks about it as part of what creates his jazz mode.. Im pretty much set on the blues, minor and major penatonic scales and need to explore more the other modes.. thanks again..

Hello and a big shout out to Robert. I really appreciate your look into the Mixolydian scale in the blues format. I am a very bluesy guitarist, my style and sound reflect that. I always thought that the Pantatonic 5th was the scale I was playing in most, but like my wife says "wrong again honey". Being the huge Angus Young fan that I am, and knowing he uses alot of that scale in his playing I am pleasantly surprised that this difficult scale seems to sound alot like my style of playing. I use those same runs and alot of the same chords for the root notes to start. thanks again..........the freak
For those who dare to be good, it aint enough, therefore you should strive to be great!!!
Robert,
Nice lesson on the Mixolydian. I like the demonstration of using a sequence pattern to help generate ideas within the scale. That's a great way to get a scale under your fingers .
Over the years I've looked back on the different scales that I relied on the most and how it changed over time. When I first started playing solos, most of my ideas came from the Blues scales and then the minor scales because they were so similar. But when I started getting all of the major scales under my fingers and learning about how to use arpeggios, etc. it seemed that the light bulb finally turned on in my head and I started to understand how all of these things fit together. Up until that time I had never really used the modes of the major scale all that much but then they started to make more sense to me.
Now it seems that I find myself using a mixed bag of tricks when I'm playing solos. For me that's the fun part about all of this is to keep finding new things to put into your "bag of tricks" that you can apply to your playing.
As always, great job at demonstrating this scale.
