Phrygian is the third mode of the Major scale. It has a uniquely dark feel to it compared to the other modes, thanks to the flat 2nd scale degree which forms a dissonant minor 2nd interval to our tonic. In this video, we learn how the scale itself is built, and also how it is a mode of Major. We also learn the chords of phrygian, and also explain several ways one can compose their own music using the phrygian mode.
It's an awesome scale that doesn't get a LOT of use for reasons that I don't go into in this video. It is the last of the video lessons on modes that I plan on doing for a while, I'm not too excited about doing a lesson on Locrian! But my future videos will be referencing all my modal videos, expecially when I start getting into modal mixture / borrowed chords.

Can't believe I forgot- The main riff from Harvester of Sorrow (Metallica) is pure Phrygian, and is also one of the most gruesomely evil riffs I have ever heard \m/

This mode is not utilized to the most in the western music from what I heared. If you listen to Arabic music, Turkish you will see the full emotion that comes from this mode. You emphasized the dark park of it, but it has a Huge romantic feeling its just that i dont see it being utilized.

@FernieCanto 5 лет назад

People in the West don't use it that much *exactly* because the teaching of music has become dogmatic, rigid and soulless. "There's nothing happy in this scale at all", he says, completely oblivious to the fact that his playing in Phrygian in this video sound completely goofy and hilarious. Phrygian can be so passionate and full of love and heat... Nah! It only serves for invoking demons!

@oneeyemonster3262 5 лет назад

i used the phrygian instead of phrygian dominant in spanish guitar plenty, It's sexy as hell.lol I also use it in ADAGAD tuning. There's nothing scary about it. It;s chanting/dreamy...celtic/irish It's easy.....Play the middle A, D, G as if it's in Bb MAJOR or Gmin = D phrygian The three outside three strings as if it;s still in standard tuning as E Phygian You can even play the Maj3 while you play the b3.... Nothing scary about it. Play the D Major or D min diad. then reach over to play the b3 or b2 on the low D string If you hook a finger on the third fret....5th string,,,that's the b7, now. The (N6)...lets say I was in A minor.... I can simply play Harmonic min b2 ....modulate into D Minor/FMajor It'll be A phrygian ish or you can modulate to Cmin....Bb = Mix ish = G Phrygain ish. or to G min/ Bb Major.

@PhilMyu 4 года назад

Those lessons are unbelievably helpful for someone like me that tends to try to understand too many elements of music theory at the same time and gets confused. You are actually the first person I saw that mentioned that "no full song is in Phrygian". I assumed that - similar to a key - songwriters would simply devote full songs to a mode. This really gives me (a newb) a new perspective on modes/scales, that I didn't have before! The same applies to your advice to not "stray away too far" from the tonic to keep that feel of that mode. It's so simple, but you're the first one that used that advice for the songwriting in modes.

Such a great teacher, I dont play as much as I used to, the last few years of playing, were at a southern Baptist church with a country flare, not too much spice going on there, but it was fun. Wouldn't have too much use for phrygian, but I watch all the way thru all of these videos cause I can enjoy someone explaining something well, having a clear idea of the subject and how it's going to be layed out. Great teachers are very rare, they're gems really, everyone remembers that ONE teacher who finally got thru to them, made an impact with their gift, and this is soaked in that vibe. It's awesome to watch.

For your inevitable phrygian dominant video, the organ solo for "Matilda Mother" by Pink Floyd is in F# phrygian dominant. Also, if you do a video on double harmonic major (phrygian dominant with #7), make sure to include "Misirlou" (traditional eastern Mediterranean song popularized by Dick Dale) and "Killing and Arab" (The Cure). It's such an amazing scale, but very difficult to use harmonically.

Brian Eno has an entire album (one 58-minute track) in Phrygian mode. It's "Neroli: Thinking Music, Part IV". From the liner notes: "...the mode is the Phrygian, whose flattened second evokes the Moorish atmosphere alluded to in the title. In this mode the seventh is also flattened, and the combination of these unusual intervals creates a mysterious tonal ambiguity.This is further emphasized in "Neroli", because the root note of the mode is rarely played, whereas the fifth of the scale is prominent. Together, the blurred tonality and the lack of a distinct tonal center give the piece a hovering, weightless character."

@TheNick1704 5 лет назад

z non The modes of natural minor are the same as major's modes, since Aeolian is a mode of Ionian. But both harmonic and melodic minor each have their own, distinctive modes.

@znon5876 5 лет назад

🙏

@MaggaraMarine 5 лет назад

Instead of calling them the "modes of the major scale" we could just call them the "diatonic modes". They are all modes of each other. The major scale is also a mode of the minor scale, the Mixolydian scale is also a mode of the Dorian scale, etc. Why today they are called the modes of the major scale is probably because everybody knows the major scale and it's treated as the basis of Western music. But originally, the modes were not modes of the major scale, because the major scale is actually a later invention than the modes. In the middle ages, Dorian was the first mode (today it's the "second mode"), and Ionian, Aeolian and Locrian weren't even part of the mode system back then - they were later additions (Ionian and Aeolian were added during the renaissance period and Locrian was an even later addition and is mostly a "theoretical mode" that's very rarely used in actual music). But yeah, as said above, melodic and harmonic minor have their own modes. Actually, any scale can have modes - if it's a unique scale, then it also has distinct modes. For example harmonic major is a scale that isn't a mode of any of the basic scales, so it has its own distinct modes. Same with the double harmonic scale (one of its modes is actually the "gypsy minor scale").

To sum up what everyone else said, the minor scale is actually the sixth mode of the major scale, which would make it very confusing to start talking about modes of the minor scale, because essentially you'd be talking about modes of a mode lol

Great lesson Jake. Thanks to you I know how to play Phrygian Dominant now and what makes it sound the way it does (raised third) let alone increasing my understanding of "normal" Phrygian itself. Keep it up!

Powerslave ! Amazing song...built on the resemblance of Phrygian Dominant scales with the scales of the Middle East and Ancient music (probably Persian)
