I really find that writing music in the Mixolydian mode is very interesting and exciting. It has some very strong characteristics, for example the juxtaposition of a major tonic and a minor dominant. It is also very suitable for rock, blues and jazz due to the dominant 7 chord that is on the 1st scale degree.
And although writing in modes is not some kind of magic trick to instantly make your music great, it definitely is a way to explore new progressions, colours and melodic options.
For this video I have written 5 Mixolydian chord progressions in 5 different styles to show you how versatile it can be. Also I will show some tips and tricks for when you want to write your own Mixolydian progressions.
I hope this will spark some creativity and hopefully some fresh and new mixolydian chord progressions!
