Advanced Practice RoutineLearn how to play the C shaped Mixolydian mode!

The C shaped Mixolydian mode is easy to remember as long as you visualize the C shaped chord and the Major Pentatonic C shape.

If you pair the major pentatonic with the dom7 arpeggio there is only one note missing to complete the mode.

Do you know which one?

C shaped Mixolydian Exercise

As with all modes, practice them using the formula:

  1. Chord
  2. Major Pentatonic
  3. add 4
  4. Major Pentatonic
  5. add b7
  6. Major Pentatonic
  7. Mixolydian
  8. Chord

Once you have done this in A, continue through cycle of 4ths to really nail the shape.
