Finding Phrygian

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Scales & Tales with Finding Phrygian. Last week I posted the "Discovering Dorian" episode of this series and received a ton of great feedback, comments/messages, and requests to continue onward and focus on the remaining modal scales from the major scale. Needless to say, that's exactly what this episode/lesson contains, so let's dive in and explore this exotic and common tonality/scale known as Phrygian.

This lesson is similar in form to the previous episode that focused on Dorian, but this time we're hitting everything related to ultra-exotic Phrygian mode. This includes some authentic-sounding Flamenco guitar ideas, a good sample of what this scale sounds like, and a few locations to perform it on the guitar. We're also hitting various chords that imply this scales exotic and ear-catching sound, along with a look at some famous music that features this flavor - including brief examples by David Bowie, film composer John Williams, Alice In Chains, and the mighty Pink Floyd, to name a few.

If you're one of the countless viewers that requested to continue this series of mode-focused lessons, curious about understanding how to use this interesting/common flavor found in music, or maybe just a player wanting to shake things up in their playing - this episode is totally for you!
