Here's an example of using three different Mixolydian modes in a standard three chord A-Blues progression; A7, D7 and E7 using A Mixo, D Mixo, and E Mixolydian modes. Notice that the Mixolydians strong beats are just Arpeggio's of the chords in A-Blues. (the other notes used in the progression are considered "Passing Tones" or weak beats)
A7 Mixo
e-------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------7-5-4---------------------
A------------------------------------7-5-4--------------
E-------------------------5-----------------7-----------
Play 4 times

D7 Mixo
e--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------7-5-4----------------------
D------------------------------------7-5-4---------------
A-------------------------5-----------------7------------
E--------------------------------------------------------
Play 2 times, then back to A7 mixo and play 2 times

E7 Mixo
e--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------9-7-6---------------------
D------------------------------------9-7-6--------------
A--------------------------7----------------9-----------
E-------------------------------------------------------
Play 1 time, back to D7 mixo and play 1 time, then back to A7 mixo and play 2 times.
Then start from the beginning again. I'll post a turn-around and finish to the progression next time.
A fingering suggestion for all three patterns would be from start to finish as follows. Start with 2nd finger, so 2--4-2-1--4-2-1--4. Hope that makes sense.
Have fun

After completing the quoted progression, here's a turn-around and completion to the progression:
Turn-around:
E7 Mixo
e--------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------
G-----------------------7----6--------
D---------------6----9---------9------
A------------7------------------------
E-------------------------------------

Finish:
A7
e-------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------
D-------------------------------7-----
A-------------------------------7-----
E-------------------------------------

Using this post will show the Interval connection to Modal Theory.
You can use this theory to recognize Interval relationships between modes to create interest with Chord progressions and intro's to key changes over time by studying the relative patterns.
Good Luck.
