How The Major Scale “Ionian” and The Mixolydian Mode are Different

Hello Cherries! Many guitar instructors don't feel the need to talk about this but I find it necessary and that it shouldn't be overlooked. Modes 🤨 There're two in particular that are used so much in music that you should know the differences 🧐 The Ionian mode is the standard Major Scale, while the Mixolydian mode is a Major Scale with a flattened (minor) seventh degree. The key difference is that flattened seventh, which gives Mixolydian a more laid-back, "dominant" sound compared to the strong leading-tone pull of the Ionian's major seventh. Ionian functions as the tonal major scale, while Mixolydian is common in jazz, blues, folk, and rock 😊 In this video I'll demonstrate both and show you the simple theory behind them 🎸 Enjoy the video and have a great week Everybody ❤️
