Use this Scale over Fiddle Tunes or Bluegrass Standards

Warm up your bow arm/fingers and boost your improvisation skills and groove with this play along instructional video.
Mixolydian is a major scale with a flatted 7th note. In G, this is: G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G (all natural notes, not sharps or flats)
You can darken the sound a bit by sliding into the major third or flattening it completely, which pushes it towards the Minor Blues scale. You can hear this in tunes like "Love, Please Come Home", "Gonna Settle Down" and "Gospel Plow"
Brighten it by arriving on the note "A", which is referred to as the "9th"
This brighter note is often harmonized with the flat 7 (In this case F) Examples of this sound can be heard in tunes like , "Maiden's Prayer" or "Festival Waltz", "Sittin' Alone in the Moonlight"
Fiddle Tunes based on this sound are:
-Red Haired Boy
-June Apple
-Big Mon
-Wheel Hoss
-Scotland
-Stoney Lonesome
-Northern White Clouds
-Old Joe Clark
-Clinch Mountain Backstep (Banjo tune)
Bluegrass Standards Based on this Sound:
