The Mixolydian scale is my favorite so far. At pattern 0 in the C chord progression, it goes a little like this:
e | ------------------------------0-1-3-- |
B | --------------------------1-3-------- |
G | --------------------0-2-3------------ |
D | --------------0-2-3------------------ |
A | --------0-1-3------------------------ |
E | --0-1-3------------------------------ |
right. what you wrote is essentially correct, though a little confusing. actually what you wrote out above is more recognizable as the "locrian" mode - or locrian scale. all you've really done here is tab an f-major scale, starting with the seventh ('E' of course). this is the definition of locrian mode. locrian mode is just playing a major scale, but starting on the seventh degree of the scale (in this case E, which is the 7th of F). just for fun, here is what an F major scale looks like tabbed out, notice the similarity:
e---------------------------0-1-----------
B-----------------------1-3---------------
G-----------------0-2-3------------------------
D-----------0-2-3--------------------------
A-----0-1-3-------------------------------------
E-1-3------------------------------
the reason you have tabbed an F-major scale is because you've applied the mixolydian pattern starting on the note 'C', although we don't actually play the note 'C' to start.
playing mixolydian mode means you are playing a major scale but just starting on the 5th degree of that scale. C is the fifth of F, hence the F major scale! if you play the mixolydian pattern starting on D for example, or as you put it, in the D chord progression, you are actually just playing a G major scale starting on 5th degree, which is D. confused? I will attempt to paint a clearer picture - these patterns are invaluable to any guitar player. Learn them!
Using the key G here for simplicity. This can all be applied to any scale of course. First the list: Ionian (or 1st degree), Dorian (2nd degree), Phrygian (3rd degree), Lydian (4th degree), Mixolydian (5th degree), Aeolian (6th degree), and Locrian (7th degree)
****** I proceed to go through every degree of the G-major scale here on up neck - skip to the end of the post for a great (I think so anyway!) visual representation of the patterns for each mode. Again, invaluable shit for any guitar player
Ionian is just a G major scale, played from the root, or 1st note, the pattern looks like this - duh, right? If it's not "duh" for you, it should be in very, very soon. Learn it! We're talking "Do Ra Mi Fa So La Ti Do" shit here.
e---------------------------2-3-
B-----------------------3-5-----
G-----------------2-4-5---------
D-----------2-4-5---------------
A-----2-3-5---------------------
E-3-5---------------------------
essentially,
dorian mode then (2nd degree), would be g major scale played starting on the second degree of the scale, the 'a' (5th fret on the low E string), but sticking with the same notes of the g major scale - it gives it a different flavor. you could just start on the second note of the g major scale and play that same ionian pattern, but that's not as useful as learning the pattern all the way across the fret-board, starting on the E string.
e-------------------------------*5-7-8-
B-------------------------5-7-8-------
G-------------------4-5-7-------------
D------------4-5-*7-------------------
A--------5-7-------------------------
E-*5-7-8-----------------------------
then comes
phrygian, which here is a g major scale starting on the 3rd degree of the scale the 'b' (for our purposes the 7th fret on the low E string). again, you could just play the ionian pattern, starting on the 3rd degree (second fret on the A string) but it's more helpful to learn the pattern all the way across the fret-board, starting on the E string. this one sounds nice, very "middle-eastern" if you will. it looks like this
e----------------------------------*7-8-10--
B---------------------------7-8-10----------
G------------------------7-9----------------
D----------------7-*9-10-----------------
A---------7-9-10-------------------------
E-*7-8-10-----------------------------
the important thing to learn is the pattern, as much as anything else. strange though right? it's just a g-major scale, but starting the scale on the 3rd degree gives it a completely different flavor.
think about this: if you were to play that exact same pattern starting on the 9th fret of the E string (C#), you would actually just be playing an A-major scale - starting on the 3rd degree of course . . . because C# is the 3rd (degree) of A. whenever you play this pattern, you are actually just starting on the 3rd degree of the major scale. if you start this pattern on 3rd fret of the E string, a 'G' of course, then you are actually playing in E-flat major, starting on the 3rd degree of course, because G is the 3rd E-flat. This logic can be applied to every mode as you will see here.then comes
lydian, which here is a g major scale starting on the 4th degree of the scale the 'c' (for our purposes the 8th fret on the low E string). again, you could just play the ionian pattern, starting on the 4th degree (third fret on the A string) but it's more helpful to learn the pattern all the way across the fret-board, starting on the E string.
notice the similarity in the pattern here with the phrygian pattern. just start playing the phrygian pattern on the 4th degree of the g major scale ('C' or 8th fret on the E string) instead of the 3rd degree of the g major scale ('b' or the 7th fret)
e---------------------------------7-*8-10--
B--------------------------7-8-10----------
G-----------------------7-9----------------
D---------------7-9-*10-----------------
A--------7-9-10-------------------------
E--*8-10-----------------------------
the phrygian mode and lydian mode are very similar patterns, just start on the 8th fret instead of the 7th, otherwise the pattern is identical. neat right?
then comes
mixolydian, which here is a g major scale starting on the 5th degree of the scale the 'd' (for our purposes the 10th fret on the low E string). again, you could just play the ionian pattern, starting on the 5th degree (5th fret on the A string) but it's more helpful to learn the pattern all the way across the fret-board, starting on the E string.
e------------------------------------------*10-12-
B---------------------------------10-12-13--------
G-------------------------9-11-12-----------------
D----------------9-10-*12-------------------------
A--------9-10-12----------------------------------
E-*10-12------------------------------------------
then comes
aeolian, which here is a g major scale starting on the 6th degree of the scale the 'E' (for our purposes the 12th fret on the low E string). again, you could just play the ionian pattern, starting on the 6th degree (2nd fret on the D string) but it's more helpful to learn the pattern all the way across the fret-board, starting on the E string. i like this one alot. perfect soloing when there is a minor chord being played.
e---------------------------------------------*12-14-15-
B------------------------------------12-13-15-----------
G---------------------------11-12-14--------------------
D--------------------12-*14-----------------------------
A-----------12-14-15------------------------------------
E-*12-14-15---------------------------------------------
now, we already saw an example of
locrian above with the poster I quoted above. just for continuities sake i will post the locrian mode here, which will be a g-major scale starting on the 7th degree of the scale 'F#' (for our purposes, 14th fret on the low E string)
e---------------------------------------------*14-15-17-
B---------------------------------------15-17-----------
G------------------------------14-16-17-----------------
D--------------------14-*16-17--------------------------
A-----------14-15-17------------------------------------
E-*14-15-17---------------------------------------------
Again, these patterns are invaluable and every guitar player should know these.

Phew. That took way longer than I anticipated. I guess it was good for me, I hope somebody finds this useful.

As a post-script, here are the
pentatonic and
blues scale patterns:
Pentatonic:
e---| x | | | x | |-------------------
B---| x | | | x | |-------------------
G---| x | | x | | |-------------------
D---| x | | x | | |-------------------
A---| x | | x | | |-------------------
E---| x | | | x | |-------------------
Blues scale:
e---| x | | | x | |-------------------
B---| x | | | x | |-------------------
G---| x | | x | x | |-------------------
D---| x | | x | | |-------------------
A---| x | x | x | | |-------------------
E---| x | | | x | |-------------------
Notice how similar these are - the blues scale just has 2 extra notes, half-steps, that funk it up a bit, and is essentially just a derivative of the pentatonic scale.
Notice how much the pentatonic scale mirrors the aeolian mode. You can think of it as a very close relative of the aeolian mode . . . very close, like incest close. I will show how each degree of the pentatonic scale, though not officially named, has an incestuous relationship with a particular mode, or scale.
Here is the pentatonic in the 2nd degree (playing the pentatonic scale but just starting from the second note of the pentatonic scale, which is a minor 3rd)- notice it is very similar to the Ionian mode and actually works for soloing over major chords.
e---| | x | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | | x | |-------------------
G---| x | | x | | |-------------------
D---| x | | | x | |-------------------
A---| x | | | x | |-------------------
E---| | x | | x | |-------------------
And the blues scale in the 2nd degree (again exactly the same as the pentatonic, but with 2 extra half-steps that give it a little bit of extra "flavor")
e---| | x | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | | x | |-------------------
G---| x | x | x | | |-------------------
D---| x | | | x | |-------------------
A---| x | | | x | |-------------------
E---| | x | | x | x |-------------------
Here is the pentatonic scale in the 3rd degree - notice the similarities to the Dorian mode:
e---| | x | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | | | x |-------------------
G---| x | | | x | |-------------------
D---| | x | | x | |-------------------
A---| | x | | x | |-------------------
E---| | x | | x | |-------------------
Blues scale in the 3rd degree - again, the same as pentatonic with those same two "extra" notes:
e---| | x | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | | | x |-------------------
G---| x | | | x | |-------------------
D---| | x | | x | x |-------------------
A---| | x | | x | |-------------------
E---| | x | x | x | |-------------------
Pentatonic in the 4th degree - notice the similarities to the phrygian mode:
e---| | x | | | x |-------------------
B---| | | x | | x |-------------------
G---| | x | | x | |-------------------
D---| | x | | x | |-------------------
A---| | x | | | x |-------------------
E---| | x | | | x |-------------------
Blues scale in the 4th degree:
e---| x | | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | | x | x |-------------------
G---| x | | x | | |-------------------
D---| x | x | x | | |-------------------
A---| x | | | x | |-------------------
E---| x | | | x | |-------------------
Pentatonic in the 5th degree - notice the similarities to the mixolydian mode:
e---| | x | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | | x | |-------------------
G---| x | | | x | |-------------------
D---| x | | | x | |-------------------
A---| | x | | x | |-------------------
E---| | x | | x | |-------------------
Blues scale in the 5th degree:
e---| | x | | x | |-------------------
B---| | x | x | x | |-------------------
G---| x | | | x | |-------------------
D---| x | | | x | |-------------------
A---| | x | | x | x |-------------------
E---| | x | | x | |-------------------
Of course there are only five modes because there only 5 different notes in the pentatonic scale - and the blues scale is just a derivative of the pentatonic scale with those "flavor" notes thrown in.
OK, now I think I'm done. Sorry for the monster post. This is good shit though, I promise.
