We are here so that you may pick our brains and learn from those who have more experience than you. Please do something I did not do very well as a younger player and embrace your mistakes, learn from them, and take instruction when it is presented to you. This is a wonderful resource with a many different talented and educated musicians who love giving instruction. You are new to saxquest and that is great. But the chances of him knowing a major scale are very high so adding the dominant note is easier to comprehend.I am not trying to scold you just offer some friendly advice.

If you have a young player (such as the one asking this question) the chances of him knowing what the Greek mode mixolydian is, its scale, and function in harmony are very slim. My pedagogical approach is to add the lowered seventh scale degree to the major scale. D is the fifth of the chord and will not be altered in this form of the scale.I have never heard the term ('be bop note') it is a be bop scale there are 8 be bop notes in it. The note may be the same but the signifigance is huge. There is an altered version of the be bop scale that I posted that has the enharmonic of D#-Eb in it. You should say lowered seventh because not all dominant sevens will be flat.I would first like to point out that your original post suggested a G be bop scale would have a D# in it.

Your theory lingo is lacking and you are not making much sense, other than stating the obvious 'Dominant seventh and mixolydian both imply that you should flat the seventh' yes I am aware that a dominant seventh and flat seven are the same thing. I do not understand what you are trying to debate. Tmgaus,I am sorry if my instruction has offended you.
