Mixolydian Scale
The Mixolydian Scale is a seven-note musical scale that is similar to the major scale but has a lowered seventh note. This gives it a unique sound that is often described as bright and lively. The scale is commonly used in various music genres, including rock, blues, and jazz, making it a popular choice for improvisation and composition.
In the C Mixolydian Scale, for example, the notes are C, D, E, F, G, A, and B♭. The presence of the flattened seventh (B♭) distinguishes it from the C Major Scale, which has a natural seventh (B). This characteristic makes the Mixolydian Scale particularly effective for creating a sense of resolution and movement in music.
