Mixolydian Mode
OK. And now let's have a look at Malian. So if we're in C major, we'll play the fifth note. So that's G. So we'd play ac major. But rooting around the G, you'll notice here. It sounds a bit different with the seventh note. That's because we've actually flattened the seventh in G major. We have this F sharp. So we flatten this F sharp to an F. So we get a different kind of sound. Mixed linen is really what the blues is built around as well. So you do get that bluesy sound when using the mixed linear mode. So the easiest way to think of the mixed linear mode is to just flatten the seventh. If we're in a minor scale as well, we can change this to a mixed linear mode. But it's a lot easier to think of the major scale if you want to turn it into a minor scale. However, for this example, I'm just going to write out G minor. OK. So I've just written out a G minor and for this example's sake, let's change a minor scale into a mixer linear mode. So what we need to do is sharpen the third and sh...
arpen the six. So this is G minor which is the relative minor to B flat major. So it has two flats. So we need to sharpen the third, which is A B flat to A B and the six, if we count up 456, this E flat to an E. So the three different ways of working at Mixolydian, the first way is to just relate this as the fifth of the major scale. So if it's G Mixolydian, we just count back 512345. So it's the notes of C major but routing around G or if we think of a major scale. So here we'd have G major which should have an F sharp. All we do is flatten the seventh. So we change this F sharp to an F or if we think of a minor scale, all we need to do is sharpen the third and sharpen the sixth. So that's mix Lian. It's really useful for creating blues music, blues music really is built around this mix Lidum mode. OK. And next is Lin, which is also the minor scale, but let's have a look at it again.
