Octave Pedal Tone Exercise for Guitar in G Mixolydian

Octave Pedal Tone exercises involve moving through the notes of a scale while pedalling to the tonic (or other modal root) before or after the moving note. This exercise provides a technical challenge, a great ear training platform as the pedal tone keeps your ear grounded on the root of the scale so you hear the degrees relative to that root. OPT exercises also open up our visual conception of the fingerboard.
What you will notice with the Mixolydian mode in this exercise is that it sounds very much like the Major scale UNTIL you get to that 7th degree where you will hear the Blues!
With this exercises YOU are free to structure the pattern however you want relative to the style of music you are learning or playing. I decided to use the Blues shuffle and to use in a very basic way that alternating down-up technique that SRV was so so so good at in songs like Pride and Joy (slow) and Rude Mood (very fast)!
