And that also applies to all the bundles that contain the Mixolydian scale, so you can save lots of money if you're interested in slide guitar. So let's go ahead and get on with this podcast.

And that's when you're going to use the Mixolydian scale. You could also use if you're just doing a vamp over a C7 , just a vamp over a C7 , because a C7 has , the C7 cord has the flat seventh note in it so that's the note in the Mixolydian scale here. So that's another application you would use it in. And if you

just had a vamp with a C , so if you just had a vamp between C and B flat you could use it there to if you had a , similar to Dreams, I guess. So you would have a C and a B flat cord going back and over. So that sounds really good when you're playing that scale. And all that is, is just C and B flat

and that scale works really good over that cord progression. So that is the Mixolydian scale. You've just got to memorize that scale and memorize the sound of it. That's one of the most important things is remembering what that scale sounds like, you know, getting that into your brain. I'm just going up the scale there.

So go ahead and memorize that Mixolydian scale there. Okay, lesson two. We're going to learn five separate patterns for using the Mixolydian scale to solo with. So let's go ahead and start with pattern number one which is going to sound like this.

Start on the fifth fret on the B string , sixth fret on the B string , eighth fret on the B string, so you've got . It's just a simple little five, six, eight, five, six, eight, and that's a really cool little position. And you want to know where your root note is. So your root note is the eighth fret on the E string. Also where the flat seventh is, because we're

doing the Mixolydian scale, that's the key note of the Mixolydian scale, so you've got , that's what makes it sound like Mixolydian. So you've got five, six, eight , five six eight. So know where your root note is, eighth fret , flat seventh , and just kind of improvise around. I'm just playing five, six, eight .

So you can do some really cool licks with that little pattern. So it's a simple little pattern with a lot of potential to do some really cool licks, so five, six, eight, five, six, eight is that pattern. Okay and that does it for video podcast number four.
