C# Mixolydian, Resonator Side

7 notes to the octave, mapped below onto this reader's GBDGBD neck, with every C# called out. Those markers are the useful part mid-bar: a chart moves under you, and the thing you need is where the root went — not where the pattern started.

Major with a flatted 7th (b7) — bright and bluesy. The dominant chord turned into a tonal center with a rock/folk edge.

Heard in: "Sweet Home Chicago", "Norwegian Wood" (Beatles), Celtic and folk music — anywhere a major sound needs a darker, looser edge.

The open tuning gives three of these notes for free; the rest are reached by moving the bar, which is why a player looks at where the scale lies rather than which grips it contains.

Play it slowly against the audio until the shape stops being a shape, then take it to a chart counted in C# and let the numbers pick their own notes out of it.
