Story behind the song
The mixolydian mode is the 5th mode of the major scale as it is derived from the 5th note of the major scale. Its is also sometimes referred to as a dominant scale because the 5th degree of the major scale is called the dominant. To play a mixolydian scale you can play all the white keys from G to G on a piano.

Wow, Michael, this song is extremely fascinating. Your tone is amazing. You play so rapidly and with intense passion and feeling. You have composed and played a beautiful masterpiece, and should be proud of your God given talents.
