D# Mixolydian Scale — Baritone Ukulele

The D# Mixolydian pattern on DGBE strings — see it, hear it, drill it.

The D# Mixolydian scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the modes family. Here it is mapped onto the Baritone Ukulele's DGBE strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to D# 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.

On the Baritone Ukulele's linear DGBE tuning the pattern climbs string to string in pitch order, so runs flow straight across the neck.

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