 Mixolydian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mixolydian mode is a musical mode or diatonic scale.
However, his work was misinterpreted, and the name Mixolydian came to be applied to one of the eight modes of mediaeval church music: the seventh mode.
In Greek theory, the Mixolydian is the Hypolydian mode inverted: a descending scale of a whole tone followed by two inverted Lydian tetrachords (each being two whole tones followed by a semitone descending).

 Musical mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beatles song "Norwegian Wood" and the ABBA Song "The Visitors" are in Mixolydian mode.
For example, in Irish traditional music the ionian, dorian, aeolian and mixolydian modes occur (in roughly decreasing order of frequency); the phrygian mode is an important part of the flamenco sound.
Though the term "mode" is still used in this case (and is useful in recognizing that these scales all have a common root, that is the melodic minor scale); it is more common for musicians to understand the term "mode" to refer to Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, or Locrian scales.

 Music: Melody: Modes: Mixolydian
Mixolydian is a very popular mode in folk and rock music.
Mixolydian is one of the three major modes, with one less sharp (or one more flat) in its key signature than the "standard" major mode, Ionian.
In the courtly and sacred music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Mixolydian was the most commonly used major mode.

scale to substitute for both the mixolydian mode (1,2,3,4,5,6,b7), and the ionian mode (1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
Recalling from above that the mixolydian mode contains the same notes (pitches) as the ionian mode, it also contains the same chords (starting with the 5th chord of the ionain mode).

 Modes, Keys, and Tunings
When you tune to a mode (rather than capoing), the bass string is always in the Mixolydian mode and the middle string is in the Ionian modes because the tonic of the key is on the open string and at the third fret respectively.
An advantage of using the capo method of changing modes is that you can tune the three strings so their modes are compatible and then put the capo on for different compatible modes.
Now tune your melody string (which is usually the treble string, but not necessarily) such that the fret which begins the modal scale you have chosen sounds the key you have chosen.

Boethius, in his description of ancient Greek usage, stated that the mixolydian mode was a musical scale which would be represented in modern form as the octave-species from B to B, in ascending order thus ("t" = whole-tone, "s" = semitone):
Note that this example illustrates the diatonic genus -- the various ancient Greek modes had variant interval structures, depending on the genus and shade.

I've already touched on this, when I mentioned that you can play either the mixolydian or ionian modes in the key of D while tuned to DAd, by using the 6 fret for the mixolydian, and the 6+ fret for the ionian.
You might think that if you can change modes from mixolydian to ionian by simply putting the capo on at the third fret, that you might be able to change to other modes by capoing elsewhere.
Here is a table showing the names of the heptatonic church modes, their traditional associated tunings for the key of D, and the starting fret for the scale.

 Theory/modes question - Discussion Forums
My first pass at working this out had me certain that the song was in A Aeolian (the natural minor scale), which uses b3, b6, and b7 (instead of their normal notes in those positions), making a set of chords that is consistent with those used in the song.
There is a riff played by the second guitar that uses F# and G which would be consistent with A Mixolydian (and not A Aeolian).
Then I was reading something that said if the primary chord (besides the root) in a song is the bVII, then you are in the Mixolydian mode (which uses a b7 instead of a 7) and went on to say that the bVII chord is _the_ Mixolydian chord.

G mixolydian (also known as the dominant scale) is exactly the same as the major scale of the same name except that the 7th interval (in this case, F#) is lowered to F. This creates an interval of a minor 7th which is what gives this scale it's 'bluesy' sound.
It's just the mixolydian scale with raised 4th interval.

NOTE TO BEGINNING IMPROVISERS: Don't get too hung up on the terms "dorian mode" and "mixolydian mode" - they deal with another approach to figuring out what notes you are recommended for use over a certain chord.
Basically, modes are created by taking the major scale, but starting and ending on a note other than the root of that major scale.
Using the major scale, one can create the mixolydian mode, by lowering the seventh scale degree by one half step; that is accomplished here by changing the B-natural to a B-flat.
