In episode 142 of the guitar music theory podcast I talk about the use of mixy in

mode and music by Huey Lewis and the news. Oh, Greetings guitar engineers. Welcome to the guitar music theory podcast. I am your host Desi Cerna and

today we're going to talk about scale modes specifically mixylidian mode and

specifically its use in music by Huey Lewis and the News.

So I picked up a gig recently and I'm having to learn a whole show

to perform with a band called The Heart of Rock and Roll.

They are America's number one tribute to Huey Lewis

in the news. Be playing at the City Winery in Nashville on Friday, July 14th, 2023.

So if you're listening to this podcast before that and you're going to be in the area, you can

look that up and get some tickets if they're still available. Anyway, as I was preparing for the show and

learning the songs, I wow these guys make a

lot of use of Mixelidian mode so we're going to talk about that today I'm going to

take a look at three songs we're going to take a look at the song I need a new drug

back in time and if this is it they all use mixed solidian mode there's something

different about its application in each song.

It's going to be pretty cool. I'm pretty excited about it.

I did post a video to YouTube and Facebook as well,

so you can go to either one of those platforms and just search Desi Cerna, Huey Lewis and you should come up.

Or you can just go to Google, search Desi Cerna, Huey Lewis, or Desi Cerna, Huey Lewis Mixelidian mode.

And you'll see the blog post on my website. I've got my video embedded there, but I also have some tablatures and some

video tabs and other stuff and it's kind of a complete little lesson right there.

So if you want to take advantage of that, it's free.
