D Mixolydian Bebop on Guitar

D Mixolydian Bebop runs 8 notes to the octave. Below it is mapped onto this instrument's E–A–D–G–B–E fretboard with every D marked, because what a player needs mid-number is not the pattern but where the root is when the harmony moves under it.

Mixolydian with a passing major 7th between the b7 and the octave — the bright, bluesy dominant sound with a chromatic slide that keeps every chord tone on a downbeat. Slick, swinging, and quintessentially bebop.

Heard in: Jazz lines over dominant seventh chords, blues changes, and rhythm changes — the workhorse bebop scale.

Scale work in the armonía is for the passing figure that joins one chord to the next — a few notes at the seam of a change, played by one member while the other keeps the pattern intact.

Take it slowly against the playback until the geometry stops being geometry, then put it under a number in D and let the written line pick its own notes out of it.
