I play in my worship team at the local church. I'm not sure how useful Mixolydian will be in direct application in the coming weeks and months. However, after I listen through a lesson once or twice, everything sounds better. I have better feel of the notes and the notes just simply sound better.

There's some funky magic at play here. I like it. I don't know how or why, but I'm not really interested in how or why when it just works.

Thanks for the magic, Tomo.

Yes Jacob! Funky magic 24/7 in Dr. Fujita's Blues and Funk Laboratory!
Keep us posted on how you apply some of it to your playing and performances.

Thank you Jacob for making this thread.

You can use any bluesy feel song with Dom7 groove.

Please watch that lesson without guitar a few times so you can remember that sound.

Maybe you should learn Dom7 groove! Play A7 with funky rhythm!

Thanks so much!

Yes please! Also, I miss the old minor triad lesson where you played reggae for a nice little while. Someday I'd love to hear more from you about how you approach playing reggae.

I love when Tomo says, "Listen to this." at the 9:30 mark of this Mixolydian video. I know something fun is going to happen.

"Of course in the middle I play my own phrase."

Yes, that is when the magic happens.
Showing us how we can eventually use it.

I am going slow and keeping it simple as instructed. Really thinking about the notes and details.
I've been watching this series when I workout in my R.A.M- Reverse Aging Machine (aka Infared Sauna)- Built for 3, just right for 1.

I love to see the R37 groove scars on that cool (Bronze?) Stratocaster. Love those big Fender headstocks.

So many interesting guitars in this series.

Thank you Kurt!

How about practice soloing over " G7 G7 C7 G7 " groove!

Mixolydian and beyond! I just made that backing track with my Boss RC-3 last night.
Thinking about " I can't stand the rain "

Good job Kurt!
Thank you.

Yes Dr. Thanks!
I will take a shot. I think Tony C would approve of your prescription.
I'll load a dose of the G7 G7 C7 G7 groove into my little dumb looper, Ditto.

I've never been on social media like Facebook or Instagram or Twitter.
I imagine the Instagram videos are like your cool YouTube shorts.
