In music, the
third mode of the
major scale, with the following
half step/
whole step progression: H-W-W-W-H-W-W.
Simliar to the
natural minor scale, except that it contains a
minor second.
For example:
- C Phyrigian contains the notes C Db Eb F G Ab Bb
- Bb Phyrigian contains the notes Bb Cb Db Eb F Gb Ab
- F# Phrygian contains the notes F# G A B C# D E#
Two ways of playing the G Phrygian scale in guitar tablature form:
Three notes per string:
e|--------------------------------4-6-8-|
B|--------------------------4-6-8-------|
G|--------------------3-5-7-------------|
D|--------------3-5-6-------------------|
A|--------3-5-6-------------------------|
E|--3-4-6-------------------------------|
Staying in the same neck position:
e|------------------------------3-4-6---|
B|------------------------3-4-6---------|
G|--------------------3-5---------------|
D|--------------3-5-6-------------------|
A|--------3-5-6-------------------------|
E|--3-4-6-------------------------------|
