"In this section we'll learn about the Mixolydian Mode which is from G to G. So let's improvise, I can play any notes I feel like and then, in this scale. Now I went to C here in the base which is the four, can't go wrong with going from one to four. Let's see what happens when I go to five, the D and then I go to four, it's kind of like teasing a little bit of Blues structure but kind of mysterious in the Mixoyldian Mode. So what's really important in improvising is to really keep, try and keep the beat in the base, really try and keep that beat. If you lose your rhythm it sounds terrible, but just keep a beat and simplify the melody if you're lost."
