So i have been trying to tackle scales for awhile now, memorizing the boxes and stuff, and just wanted to get some clarification on modes/scale relationships.
I have a scale book that I have been using that lists fingerings for given scales including the mixo which i have been content with. then i got a dvd on modes and am thoroughly confused
I have been understanding the mixo as a scale with 5 boxes, but now it seems it's the 5th mode out of 7 in the major scale. And if the key of the scale is in say C, then each of the modes would follow the C major scale so the mixo would end up on G. I'm not really sure what i am asking here. I guess does anyone have a simple way of thinking of this? for jerry type stuff should I just be focused on the different scale shapes of the major, mixo, and pentatonic scales or start learning modes now?
i guess everyone is always saying Jer was heavy on the mixolydian, so was he using it in 5 boxes or the 5th mode in a given key or are they the same thing? i think i might be out thinking myself now
