Guitar Lesson Summary & Chart Explanation

The Hindu or Mixolydian 6 Scale.

The Hindu scale is the fifth mode of the Jazz Minor Scale. It can be used by Jazz improvisers over dominant seventh chords which have a #5, but is primarily used over dominant 713 chords, as the 6 is enharmonic with the sharp five and flat thirteenth.

It is also used over VI7 in Major VI7 II7 V7 I, or VI7 II-7 V7 I Progressions.

Alternative names for this Scale are:
  • Hindu Scale
  • Mixolydian Flat 6 Scale
  • Mixolydian Flat 13 Scale
  • Dominant 7 6 Scale
  • Dominant 7 b13 Scale

For the origins of the Jazz Minor scale please read: Jazz (Ascending Melodic) Minor Scale
