Mixo-blues Scales
The Mixo-blues is as the name implies a scale used in blues. It can be seen as a blend of the major and minor pentatonic blues scales and the Mixolydian Mode.
To illustrate how these scales overlaps, we can use the C Mixo-blues Scale as a starting-point:
- G, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, E, F
its nine notes include the notes in all the other …
- (G Pentatonic Blues) G, A, Bb, B, D, E – (Gm Pentatonic Blues) G, Bb, C, Db, D, F – (G Mixolydian) G, A, B, C, D, E, F
Because of the large set of notes in the Mixo-blues, it will not always work as a whole over all chords in typical 12-bar blues progressions.
