► Triads Lessons here: [ Ссылка ]

In the previous Triads lesson here - [ Ссылка ] - I didn't spend much time explaining why this works. In this video, I am expanding on this topic by teaching why this creates the Mixolydian mode (85% of it, to be exact...)

You may think, "it could also be Lydian or Lydian Dominant". Well not in this case, because the whole idea here is that the chord has already been established as a Dominant chord, and I'm sticking to the modes only. Yeah, the Lydian Dominant is super cool, but the triad here goes from root chord UP, 1 whole-step. In this lesson, I'm going DOWN a whole step from the root chord. That's why the end result is the Mixolydian.

As a side note, it to you go down a whole-step from the root chord triad, and play an augmented triad, THEN you get the Lydian Dominant. Cool!

Major triads are great to use over Dominant chords. Even though the Dominant 7 chord has a minor 7th, it does have a major 3rd, which means you can play a major triad for this chord. A sweet triad pair appears when you move the triad down a whole-step. In this case, we play A major triad and G major triad - both will work fine over the A7, A9, A11 or A13 chord. Check it out! Very simple, and very powerful. You can do this on any Dominant 7 chord that doesn’t have any altered notes.
