Hi Testament,nice nick tho
 First of all you have to understand and hear the scale. Mixolydian is same as major scale,except of 7th degree which is flatted. You must hear that 7th degree,it gives kind a dominant sound. Than just try any major scale you know already and when you come to 7th degree, just flat it a semi tone down. You can do this by playing regular boxes,per example 3 notes per string. Hope this helps and let me know if you need something else.

Yep,you got it right,that'd be G note if it's A Mixolyidian!
One quick note,this scale now offers different chord progression cause of that 7th degree. Per example,in A major scale we have E chord on 5th degree. In A Mixolydian it's Em chord because of the G note,so chord has notes E,G and B(not G# like in major). Glad you're into theory and Skolnick rules.

Ahh,don't worry at all Eddie,modes are really simple and useful tool,trust me.
Once you figure out pattern to make each from major or minor, you'll be playing them all the time.  And it's really easy to make them but I'll let you with basic scales at the moment, have fun tho!!
