Here's the next episode of Breaking Chords with "The Mixolydian-Pentatonic Scale."
This lesson features a common but commonly misunderstood scale/arpeggio anomaly found in the playing style of countless guitarists.

You can easily trace this back to the intense playing found between guitar legend Jeff Beck and keyboardist Jan Hammer in the 1970s. and from there it extends into the playing of guitarists such as Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Gilbert, and countless other players.

This lesson features an unusual situation where the topic at hand could be viewed as five-note pentatonic scale variation or a D11 arpeggio - whichever you prefer.

In my mind, I like to refer to this concept as "Mixolydian Pentatonic" but in my head I view it more as an arpeggio.
This might sound odd, but the "Mixolydian Pentatonic" nickname I've given this idea helps me to remember what it is and how it's played.

If I thought of "modified pentatonic" or as an "11th arpeggio" I might not remember/view this information the correct way.
In other words, this nickname may not be the best for you, but it works for me and that's what I call this particular set of ideas.
