In this video, you learn how to play the phrygian mode on guitar.

The phrygian mode is one of the darker sounding modes.

It is often associated with metal and flamenco styles of music, but can be found in other genres of music too including rock and jazz.

It is a very cool sound!

In this lesson, I’ll simplify the phrygian mode for you by breaking it down in great detail, showing you several ways you can create music with it on your guitar.

First, you learn the easiest way to access the phrygian mode.

This is on a single string and helps you understand the mode before looking at other ways to play it.

Once you have this down, you then learn to play the phrygian mode in the following ways:

• The derivative method (this is when you relate the mode to its parent sale)

• As a pentatonic scale with added notes (super cool for integrating all your pentatonic riffs and licks into the mode)

• Via triad shapes (produces a very melodic sound with larger intervallic jumps between notes)

You also learn the chords of the phrygian mode.

Many people miss this vital part of playing in any key, the chords!

The understanding of modes begins by harmonising the scale and discovering the chords that belong to the mode.
