In this video, you learn how to write chord progressions on guitar in the Mixolydian mode.
The Mixolydian mode is known as the mode of rock and is the basis for many songs in this genre of music.
In this lesson, I will break down the Mixolydian mode so you understand it in a general sense.
You will then learn how to write chord progressions using the Mixolydian mode targeting the all important characteristic note that makes the Mixolydian sound what it is.
I then show you some examples of actual songs that use the Mixolydian mode so you can see it in action.
Songs such as:
- Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynrd
- Norwegian Wood - The Beatles
- Sweet Child O Mine - Guns N’ Roses
- Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve
- Clocks - Coldplay

G'day Simon! Greetings from the USA 😎 Great video. Hope you're doing great!
@BonesJonesMusicMD, hey Billy! Thanks, I am doing well. I hope you and the family are well too mate :)
Isn’t sweet home Alabama in the key of g major and those 3 chords just 1,4,5? This is a great video but as a relative novice I get confused very easily so could be way off the mark….and confused
@MatthewFenner-f4f, thanks!
Regarding Sweet Home Alabama, there's a bit of an ongoing debate as to what the key of this song is.
Google it and you will see :)
I think you can think of it as either G Major or D Mixolydian.
Is there any way to establish the root note? So you don't lose it when playing in the relative
@richi6006, yes. I think this video will answer your question: th-cam.com/video/grumqcbjlLs/w-d-xo.html

Lovely lesson
@555Dfalmeid, glad you liked the lesson :)
Solid lesson
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Well explained. I love this video. My question is am I breaking the modal chord progressions rules, if I stick to Ionian chord progression in a song and apply all seven or six modes in modal melodies n solos?
@simondou6882, in a nutshell, you can do what you want :) There are no rules in music, just guidelines.
However, understand that to create a particular modal melody, you have to be sure it is over a progression that is in the same mode you want to create the melody in. Whatever the mode of the progression, that will be the mode of your melody :)
Thanx a million, that is really helpful.
When harmonising scales as a sequence of simple triads, the 'dim' chord is not 'half diminished' - it should be referred to simply as diminished. Only when we extend the chords to 7ths should we then refer to it as half diminished.
@squashfan9526, yes I am aware of that. That is my error, I should've said diminished :)
@@acousticguitarlessons ok, but you say half-diminished many times, and in your other videos too
@@squashfan9526 yes, I know. It’s a bad habit. I was taught to harmonise a scale in 7th chords first before triads many years ago, so I keep calling the 7 chord half diminished even though I know it’s diminished when there are only 3 voices.
@@acousticguitarlessons Well, let's see if you can shake off that bad habit - it's not a good look for a guitar tutor!
On the video you say half-diminished, but the text on the video says diminished. Would you be able to clarify this, please?
Sorry for the confusion Jon :)
It is a diminished chord if you harmonise the scale in triads (3 note chords), however, if you harmonise the scale extending the chords (adding another note ) it becomes a half diminished chord.
So B diminished is B D F
B half diminished is B D F A
I should've just said diminished chord :)
The similarities but differences between Borrowed chords and Modes and is interesting.
Yes, it is really interesting and glad you liked the video :)
Simon, I've just find your channel and you are really amazing teacher👍

Agora estou começando à entender um pouco os modos.obrigado, Simon. Você poderia fazer mais vídeos; em outros modos? Obrigado.

Tenho vontade de aprender os modos gregos, saber usar elas na música. Vou ver o link. Obrigado, Simon.
Many thanks. Nice, clear lesson, which opened up modes in a new way for me, namely harmonising the scale to get new chords from it. Great stuff.
@tonymccormick21, you are very welcome! Great to hear this video has helped you in your understanding of modes :)
Thanks ❤
@KayGi-pr4ut, you are very welcome! :)
Great lesson. you taught it very well. Thank you
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words :)
Just found your channel yesterday and cannot thank you enough. I’ve really struggled with modes and understanding what changes and why. Love your teaching style.
You are so welcome! Glad you find the videos helpful. There are a few mode videos on the channel. You will find them in a playlist on the channel :)
