F# Mixolydian — Bass (6-String)

The F# Mixolydian scale runs 7 notes per octave in the modes family. Below it sits on the Bass (6-String)'s BEADGC strings with every root marked, because a bassist reads a scale map as a set of targets around the root, not a row of dots.

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.

In fourths tuning every pattern is movable: learn the shape once, one finger per fret, and it works from any root on the BEADGC neck. With the low B and high C in the tuning, the same fingering covers more range before your hand ever shifts.

Walk it slowly against the audio, land each root on a downbeat, then take it to the progressions in F# and let the scale turn into lines.
