B Mixolydian brings the Mixolydian sound into sharp-key territory. Built on the 5th degree of E major, it shares those same notes but treats B as home. The B7 chord is a staple in blues, rock, and country, and B Mixolydian is the scale that colours melodies and solos over that chord. Four sharps might look daunting on paper, but the patterns on guitar and piano are comfortable once you know the parent key.
