Mixolydian Monday Melodic Madness! Guitar Solo!
Exploring the Mixolydian Vibe! 🎸
Having some fun here experimenting with a scale I rarely dive into—the Mixolydian scale! It’s always refreshing to break out of the usual patterns and explore new musical territories. This one’s got a bit of an upbeat, bluesy feel with that signature dominant 7th sound that the Mixolydian mode brings. 😎
I’m jamming on my Epiphone Les Paul Custom (Limited Edition) for this track, and it's delivering some killer tones. I love the versatility this guitar offers.
You all know about the Les Paul, right? Well, if not, here is a list of legendary players that used/use the Les Paul:
Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) – Iconic for his 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
Slash (Guns N' Roses) – His Les Paul tone is legendary, particularly his use of custom Les Pauls.
Joe Perry (Aerosmith) – Frequently uses a Gibson Les Paul for his bluesy, hard rock sound.
Eric Clapton (Cream) – Early in his career, he played a Les Paul Standard.
Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) – Known for his “Greeny” Les Paul with an out-of-phase pickup mod.
Duane Allman (The Allman Brothers Band) – Used a 1957 Goldtop Les Paul for his slide guitar work.
Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy, Solo) – Played a Les Paul extensively in his blues and hard rock work.
Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) – Often uses his famous 1959 Les Paul, known as "Pearly Gates."
Zakk Wylde (BLS, Ozzy) - Now has his Wylde range but his bullseye Les Paul is iconic!
CHOEY G (Solo) - Uses a juiced up Les Paul Custom with Seymour Duncan pickups, soon to have his own signature Epiphone guitar! ;)
Happy Monday, everyone! Wishing you all a brilliant week ahead. Stay inspired, keep rocking, and as always, let the music lead the way! 🎶

Hello @sunsethunter. It's nice to see someone play in an odd scale and play see well, at least for me it's an odd scale jeje because I'm still soloing in the mayor/minor scale or both in the same song, and little by little I've been trying to solo on the other modes, so watching you play in the mixolydian mode makes me want to improve more, thank you for sharing and greetings
Thank you so much!!:) It sure is an odd scale, it was the first time that I have played this scale over a track, so it was a fun challenge!:) I'm really glad this made you want to play more!:)
