The Phyrgian scale. ------------------- The easiest way to use this is to begin in the key of E. Starting from E, play the C major scale. |-------------------------------------------0--| |----------------------------------0--1--3-----| |----------------------------0--2--------------| |-------------------0--2--3--------------------| |----------0--2--3-----------------------------| |-0--1--3--------------------------------------| E F G A B C D E F G A B C D E You may notice that this has a slightly Spanish feel to it; it is often used in traditional spanish songs. The flattened 2nd note (the F) in particular stands out. The Phrygian Dominant Scale. ============================ This scale is slightly different from the normal Phrygian, but has quite a different distinctive sound. Again, to play this in E, play the normal scale as above, but play G# instead of natural G. |-------------------------------------------0--| |----------------------------------0--1--3-----| |----------------------------1--2--------------| |-------------------0--2--3--------------------| |----------0--2--3-----------------------------| |-0--1--4--------------------------------------| E F G# A B C D E F G# A B C D E
