Lesson on Symmetrical Diminished Chord Scales

The mixolydian scale is the major scale with a flat 7. It's a very distinct sound, you've heard it all over the place.

All Blues 這首曲子都是用到Mixolydian 的聲音。

Latin music 中也很常用到Mixolydian 的聲音。

在爵士樂中，遇到屬和弦(Dominant)會演奏Diminished音階，或是Altered音階，或是不同的音階。

但是也有時候會用到Mixolydian音階。

如果和弦記號有降九音，也不能用到Mixolydian音階。要是九音（Natural 9th）才適用Mixolydian音階。

I frequently put on tracks in itunes and practice comping. I come across sometimes, tracks with no chord player. I always forget what they are. But when I find them I have fun being the chord player and get a lot out of it.

So I thought I'd make a list of cd's with just bass or just bass and drums. I only have one to start, but I bet you guys will come up with a ton.

I'd like to organize all those tracks in itunes and just pull them up and comp.

I also will import them into a program like audacity and change the keys.

What you guys got??? You got tunes?

I can think of parts of tunes that are lydian. The opening chord of Blue in Green. Sometimes guys play Gmin, but most of the time it's Bb maj and a sharp 4. In fact the melody is an E.

Can you think of more?

Sharp the 4!

如果拿Lydian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Lydian音階多了升4音。

西城故事最有名的片段，用到Lydian。在Disney音樂中也很常用到。

如果是四級大調和弦，通常會用到Lydian(因為Major #11)

例如Gmajor-Cmajor, C是G的四級，所以聲響上面還是都以G調為基礎，所以這邊的C就可以用到聲四音（#F）

I just heard an arrangement of Arabesque 1 by Debussy, for vibes, performed by Jessica Ryckewaert, on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0xosUMpJgY
