G mixolydian mode box shapes
In BLOGoZON No.45 the box shapes for the G MIXOLYDIAN MODE were presented using
the
GEDCA octaves methodology.
In this weeks BLOGoZON the box shapes for the G mixolydian mode are revisited but this time the undelying 3-note chord/arpeggio is presented i.e. G major.
The easiest example of the mixolydian mode is rooted on G natural - as it is really the C major scale
re-arranged so that it starts with the fourth note (G) rather than the first (C).
Hence the GEDCA octaves sequence is shown for G natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follows show all of the G mixolydian mode notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's fretboard in both the 
and GEDCA octaves styles:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the G mixolydian mode are detailed below in the
GEDCA octaves manner:-
All scales and modes have an underlying triad - 3 note chord - that defines their tonality.
In the case of the G mixolydian mode this is the G major arpeggio - hence the notes for a G major
arpeggio are presented in both the and GEDCA octaves styles:-
Similarly the intervals forming a G major arpeggio are shown next:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the G mixolydian mode and the
G major arpeggio in the GEDCA octaves style.
