E Mixolydian Bebop — Irish Bouzouki

E Mixolydian Bebop carries 8 notes per octave (bebop family), drawn here across the Irish Bouzouki's GDAD courses with every root marked — melody is this instrument's first language, and these maps are its phrasebook.

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.

GDAD bends the grid on the top course: patterns climb in fifths until the final fourth, where every shape shifts by two frets — the maps below draw that kink instead of pretending it away.

Pick each note cleanly with alternating strokes before you ever tremolo it, and let the audio set the pitch in your ear as you go.
