Talking to myself: "Let's see....B Mixolidian, 5th mode, so the notes of E major. The five, the four, and the one of E major....all major chords! But wait the B is dominant chord, B7. So.....B with a flatted 7th. These mode things are starting to make sense....."
So the Mixolydian mode is understood as starting from the fifth note of the scale (www.learnjazzstandards.com/blog/what-are-modes-in-music/#:~:text=G%20Mixolydian%2C%20the%20fifth%20mode%3B%20C%20major%20starting%20on%20G.), but that doesn't refer to the B major scale, as the mode is relative to another scale, E major in this case. The notes in the E major scale are E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, and D#. If you start that scale from its fifth note (the B), you get the B Mixolydian mode (B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A). Another good way to think about the Mixolydian mode is that it is the major scale with the 7th note flattened (B major is B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A#, and if you flatten that A#, you get the Mixolydian mode (B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A)). Hope that helps 👍
You could absolutely use the major pentatonic, or the minor pentatonic/blues scale also works over this for a more bluesy take. You could even mix in some Dorian phrases as a variation for a jazzier feel to the blues scale option. It’s fun to start with the “major” options (B Mixolydian and major pentatonic) and then build into the bluesier options as the song builds up and gets “busier”. Hope that helps 👍
If you know your major scale well You can use E major scale all through the entire song and hit all tones Just remember to focus your phrases towards B - A - E - B To make it simpler Use to c#m pentatonic first position (9th fret) The 7 of c#m is B which is our root Which is located on the 9th fret of the D string Then we have A Which is located a whole tone back from B Or you can use the 10th fret of the B string Then we have E which is located in our open low and high E strings Or at the ninth fret of the G string And then back from there to B I would advise to start B major pentatonic first position(4th fret ) To A major pentaonic 2nd positions (5th fret) Back to the same B major just noticing there's an E on the 5th fret of the B string Play with these ideas first

yep. that one, too. there's a few songs that use this pattern but variable rythyms. Sympathy for the devil, maybe?

I know the feeling 😅
Freedom by George Michael... Slowly
or Sweet Child o Mine, u can play the Slash intro
Isn’t this the Lydian mode, the scale from the 5th fret is Lydian?

So the Mixolydian mode is understood as starting from the fifth note of the scale (www.learnjazzstandards.com/blog/what-are-modes-in-music/#:~:text=G%20Mixolydian%2C%20the%20fifth%20mode%3B%20C%20major%20starting%20on%20G.), but that doesn't refer to the B major scale, as the mode is relative to another scale, E major in this case. The notes in the E major scale are E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, and D#. If you start that scale from its fifth note (the B), you get the B Mixolydian mode (B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A).
Another good way to think about the Mixolydian mode is that it is the major scale with the 7th note flattened (B major is B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A#, and if you flatten that A#, you get the Mixolydian mode (B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A)).
Hope that helps 👍
how many bpm
70 bpm 👍
What scales would you use B Mix and throw in some major pentatonic?
You could absolutely use the major pentatonic, or the minor pentatonic/blues scale also works over this for a more bluesy take. You could even mix in some Dorian phrases as a variation for a jazzier feel to the blues scale option. It’s fun to start with the “major” options (B Mixolydian and major pentatonic) and then build into the bluesier options as the song builds up and gets “busier”. Hope that helps 👍
If you know your major scale well
You can use E major scale all through the entire song and hit all tones
Just remember to focus your phrases towards B - A - E - B
To make it simpler
Use to c#m pentatonic first position (9th fret)
The 7 of c#m is B which is our root
Which is located on the 9th fret of the D string
Then we have A
Which is located a whole tone back from B
Or you can use the 10th fret of the B string
Then we have E which is located in our open low and high E strings
Or at the ninth fret of the G string
And then back from there to B
I would advise to start B major pentatonic first position(4th fret )
To A major pentaonic 2nd positions (5th fret)
Back to the same B major just noticing there's an E on the 5th fret of the B string
