Piano scale
D♭ Mixolydian Scale
Major with a ♭7 — bluesy and dominant, the sound of countless rock and funk riffs.
On the keyboard
Green marks the root. Fingering is shown for the major scales, where the standard is settled; for this scale teachers genuinely differ, so start from the major-scale fingering in the same key and adjust to your hand.
