A Mixolydian Scale

Construction

Fifth degree of the diatonic scale. This Mixolydian scale is constructed by starting with the root note of A and following a the sequence of steps: W W H W W H W. The 'W' (whole step) means to skip a note, and the 'H' (half step), means to pick the very next note. The final step in the sequence will always end at the root note (one octave higher).
Here is this process represented visually:
