This Community Challenge is: write something in Mixolydian Mode.
It's pretty common for writers to mix and match the Major Key with Mixolydian mode, but in this lesson your goal is to stick with Mixolydian mode exclusively. Only use chords from mixolydian mode for your progressions and only use the mixolydian scale for your melodies.
"But Scott, I don't know what mixolydian mode is and I don't know what you mean when you talk about the chords in mixolydian mode."
Well I've got good news for you: I'm trying to turn Community Challenges into lessons. I'm trying this out - let me know if you like the Community Challenge/Lesson combo.
In this video I'll walk you through the process of how to get the chords in mixolydian mode and how to think about writing progressions that make the I chord feel like home.
Post what you've written to the community forum.
You're welcome to participate in any previous Community Challenge at any time. These challenges are a weekly reminder that writing music is the best way to improve your musical skills, understanding, and personality.
