C Mixolydian Scale — Guitalele

The C Mixolydian scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the modes family. Here it is mapped onto the Guitalele's ADGCEA strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to C wherever you play it.

Major with a flatted 7th (b7) — bright and bluesy. The dominant chord turned into a tonal center with a rock/folk edge.

Heard in: "Sweet Home Chicago", "Norwegian Wood" (Beatles), Celtic and folk music — anywhere a major sound needs a darker, looser edge.

Guitar shapes work unchanged on guitalele — finger them exactly as charted; every shape sounds a perfect fourth higher than on guitar.

Play each position slowly against the audio until the shape and the sound lock together, then take it to the progressions in C to use it over real changes.
