    Mixolydian Mode/Scale: Interactive Piano & Guitar Reference with Chords

    🎨 A visual piano and guitar reference to the Mixolydian mode (aka Mixolydian scale), which is the 5th mode of the major scale. The Mixolydian mode is created from the major scale by flattening the 7th scale degree. The Mixolydian mode is major-sounding and sounds smooth and bluesy.

    This reference includes the notes and chords on the piano keyboard for each Mixolydian scale.

    Mixolydian mode formula:
    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - b7
