You just take yer regular ol' blues scale (plus 6 and 9 passing tones) and move that minor third up a half step, making it a major third. There, yer done.

Kind of kidding, but then again, come to think of it, that's how I learned it, more or less.

Best,
Jay

Isn't the second chord in that Im7 rather than IV7 (G7 -> Gm7)?

I've been working out of a book of Charlie Christian transcriptions, which has some great basic '40s era Mixolodian licks and runs. I think there are three blues in the book, all are great solos. I think Wolf Marshall did the book.

While this may be more rock than blues (and some might consider it cheesy), Peter Frampton's guitar solos and riffs in "Do You Feel Like I Do?" are totally mixolydian and they seriously rock.

Doesn't BB (and most blues guitarists) actually play a "blue" 3rd? Meaning, a minor third with a slight bend towards major? Not mixolydian in the true sense.

[MartinPiana]

Yes, that's the Charlie Christian book I was referring to.

The only time I use straight-up Mixolydian is in some Latin music. Hardly ever in blues; there's too much going back and forth between the flat and natural thirds.
