Mixo Etude

Here is an etude based on the mixolydian scale, or we could say based on a dominant chord. 

It starts on G7 and goes through the cycle of 4ths every two bars. 

Play the etude. 

Find a lick over one of the chords and memorize it and then play it over each dom chord transposing it into each new key. 

Play your own stuff over this. There is a version with just bass.

Play the chords over it instead of lines. Play chords behind my solo. 

I hope you see that you can do so many things with a little material.
