This Lesson's difficulty level 1-10 scale

The Phrygian mode is a very dramatic mode with a lot of symphonic vibe to it. Below are some lesson notes for you to pair with the video lesson, and below the lesson notes are the tabs for the two main performance pieces on the video lesson. Enjoy the lesson....

Scale shape suggestion for practice - see video for usage and expansion tips....

"A" Phrygian - 5th position -- Shape can be moved around based on key. Bb's are highlighted...

E__5_6_8____________________________________________________8_6_5_

By contrast the regular "A minor" scale would have a "B" not the "Bb" that's in our Phrygian mode.

Those are the main 3 parts to what I played. The arrangement is fairly easy to follow, and isn't important here in our tabs. I don't think anyone will have a problem with following the arrangement. What is important to notice is how the Phrygian mode is being used. Use it as a spring board for some of ideas of your own....

These are the tabs for the example of Jazz style Phrygian that I did. Phrygian is being used in both the rhythm and the leads. See video for added lesson here, because there are some important things to understand about moving scales around the fret board...

Play Loosely and take note of the movement of position... These leads are played over the pattern that's tabbed above in the Rhythm portion...

See video to tie all this together and get the most out of this page..... Also if you're really into the modes, and how to find them, use them, and manipulate them, I strongly recommend my "Soloing 101" DVD or CD ROM... It's very comprehensive and has helped many people over the years move beyond the blues box.....
