Use the Mixolydian b6 scale to solo over dominant 7th chords, focusing on the flat 6th (bVI) to add harmonic color and tension.
Incorporate this scale into blues or funk settings where the flat 6th creates a darker, more mysterious sound while still retaining the dominant quality of the Mixolydian mode.
