Fiddle Fills With G Mixolydian

G Mixolydian runs 7 notes to the octave. Below it is laid onto this chair's GDAE fingerboard with every G marked, because what a fill needs mid-song is not the pattern — it is where the root is when the chord changes under it.

Major with a flatted 7th (b7) — bright and bluesy. The dominant chord turned into a tonal center with a rock/folk edge.

Heard in: "Sweet Home Chicago", "Norwegian Wood" (Beatles), Celtic and folk music — anywhere a major sound needs a darker, looser edge.

The fiddle takes the intro hook and the turnaround answer more often than any other chair, so its scale work is intonation work — no frets to correct you, and a bow that exposes every approximation.

Play it slowly against the audio until the shape stops being a shape, then take it to a song in G and let the melody pick its own notes out of it.
