SPELLED 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - b7 - 8

Mixolydian b13 is the 5th mode of the Melodic Minor Scale and quite a common scale in Western popular music. Retaining the b6 and b7 from the Natural Minor Scale, it is often the scale of choice over the V chord in a Harmonic Minor Harmonization where that chord is major. It goes 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - b7 - 8. As usual, there are 12 fingerings for it in our normal chromatic "box" orientation. Do you need to know all 12? Not unless you want to be the next Modern Jazz "phenom". Try to learn as many as you can ... 4 to 6 is a good figure to shoot for. Start with the easiest ones first ... the ones that have the fewest FINGER SHIFTS. To totally understand your fretboard and how to do finger shifts, visit www.guitar-instruction-free-lessons-online.com/chromatic-scale . Remember, the RED DOT is your ROOT NOTE and these boxes can be moved anywhere on the fretboard to play in all 12 keys.
