Mixolydian on electric guitar (G)

Mixolydian in G: G – A – B – C – D – E – F. On electric guitar, the slimmer neck invites legato — the same fingering runs with less effort, and the high positions stay comfortable. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4 — it is the CAGED G form; the lowest tonic sits on the 6th string, fret 3, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Plugged into an amp, each chord sustains for as long as you hold it, and the tone — clean or driven — shapes the whole sound.

Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.
