Phrygian
OK. The next mode is the Phrygian mode. So this is the third one after Ionian and Dorian, we have Phrygian. So if we're in C major, we could say E Phrygian, which quite literally means the C major scale, but starting on the E. So we have the notes EFG ABC D and E, there is a way we can work this out. So for a major scale, we have to flatten the second, the third, the sixth and the seventh, quite complicated to remember or for a minor scale, this is a lot easier. We just flatten the second note. So in E minor, we have EF sharp, G ABC and D because it's the relative minor of G major which has an F sharp. So all we have to do is flatten this F sharp to an F and this will give us the Phrygian scale. So it's a lot easier to remember the pattern for the minor scale. Just flatten, the second note rather than the major scale flatten the second, the third, the 6th and 7th. You can do it like that, but it's a bit more complex or quite literally just yeah, play the major scale, but root around th...
e third note. That's kind of the phrygian scale. This will give you a different sound as well. So let's hop into Ableton Live. And so all we really have to do, it's just play ac major scale start on the A and just route it around the E. So it gives a different flavor, a different feel. Let's just have a listen to this. You can instantly tell that second note sounds a bit different because when we hear a minor scale, we're used to this second note being a bit higher. It's just a semi to movement which I think creates a nice interesting sound. This is phrygian, of course, you can use it for all the other scales as well. I'm just using C as an example because it's really easy because it's the white notes. Yeah, this is E for a gym. Next, we're going to have a look at Lydian.
