TAKE THE 5TH

Using 5th intervals with open strings

column, I demonstrated a technique in which I hammer-on from an open string to play triplet-based patterns built around 6th intervals, or 6ths, for short. The patterns I presented were all olydian (within mode the ( scale A, B, structure C # , D, E, F of # G the ). As A this Mix-seven # -note # set same A, B, notes C # but starting from and oriented around that scale’s 5th degree, A. Another helpful way to think about Mixolydian is that it is the same as its major scale, except the 7th degree is lowered, or “flatted,” by a half step, is or spelled one fret A . , For B, C example # , D, E, F , # , # #
