E Mixolydian is the ultimate open-string blues key on guitar. Built on the 5th degree of A major, it shares those same notes but treats E as home. With both the low and high E strings available as open drones, this mode practically plays itself on guitar. The dominant 7th tonic (E7) is the foundation of countless blues songs, and E Mixolydian is the scale that gives those songs their melodic vocabulary.
