G Mixolydian Scale (Concert F Mixolydian)
MIXOLYDIAN SCALE
we LIU be dL bbb
MARTIAN SQUARE DANCE is based on the mixolydian scale. The mixolydian scale has some of the same
“bluesy” sound qualities as the blues scale.
The mixolydian scale is a common choice when improvising over a dominant seventh chord, like G7
(Concert F7} in the solo section of MARTIAN SQUARE DANCE.

Q7
> As you play, listen to how each note of the mixolydian scale sounds with the dominant seventh groove played by the
rhythm section, Do certain notes sound better with the groove than others? Do some notes lead more naturally to the
next note of the scale than others?
