How To Make Music With The PHRYGIAN Scale On Guitar

[@ranatha]

I'm a pianist, and there is no piano theory just like this channel. Thanks for giving us free lessons

[@samabraham5232]

You changed the concept of teaching on KZbin. Best music theory teacher. Huge respect for you sir. ♥️

[@kenyonj7957]

Fully agree, you are a gent and a scholar

[@MacKinnon2k13]

Yes he is awesome.

[@oldrockhopper3652]

Great tuition as ever. I especially liked the tip about staying connected to the key using inversions to avoid sounding like you’ve moved into natural minor.

[@angsmft6929]

you've been every viewpoint for teaching for us easy way at driving for thanks a ton

[@TedBoyRomarino]

The bIImaj7 from phrygian is a great chord to use as a modal interchange in regular tonal music to give it some color and tension. Great video as always, Tommaso

[@GogiRegion]

Phrygian from my experience is one of those scales that fights a bit to sound like one if its modes if you don’t emphasize the tonic enough, but Phrygian Dominant is the complete opposite and therefore is great to use for a solo part in a Phrygian song because it has so much flavor with less need for harmony to emphasize the tonic. Phrygian is one of my favorite modes, and this is a little trick I learned from using it.

[@JohnSmith-sl5ym]

Your teaching style is amazing. So easy to follow because of your passion, energy and humour. Keep up the great work.

[@rustr2015]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Phyrgian mode!!

[@brianstanley572]

Thanks for these videos. I can "play" the modes, but applying them has been tricky. Your videos help!

[@sergiogrunge6569]

Definitivamente este es uno de los mejores canales para aprender teoría musical.

[@pvillez]

Excellent exposition! I have been playing the Phyrigian and variant most of my life. This is very well explained, thank you very much

[@Olip87]

Amazing video, I've been trying to play some phrygian on my mandolin this really helped cement the theory and inspire some nice progressions. Cheers.

[@fsh3702]

Thanks, this helps a lot, before this video I really have no idea to play what chords on Phrygian mode, this video is so complete and diverse.

[@GodsStoryteller]

Thanks. I enjoyed the inversions. God bless.

[@yuhw1948]

thank you so much! this is one of my favorite music theory channels. it helps me so much.

[@sonidodebolsillo]

Your tutoriales are excellent! Well explained not only for guitar players, but for everyone with ears and willing to learn!

[@wulfenii64]

I've always loved the sound of this mode. Thank you.

[@AtomizedSound]

I don’t even really play guitar. I come here just for the interesting theory discussions.

Me either

[@cactusowo1835]

I play the piano but the music theory is applicable on every instrument

[@michaelsmusic3532]

lol I do the same ... although I do play the guitar I DON'T play the piano and I watch piano playing videos because there's a lot of excellent theory there. Good to "see" you here ... study hard !!!

[@michaelsmusic3532]

@@cactusowo1835 I'm trying to teach myself piano, any good suggestions ???

[@cactusowo1835]

@@michaelsmusic3532 [Go to the bottom of the comment to practice suggestions] Piano is just like any other instrument, if you know what notes do you want to play, then learning the technique, which keys to each intervals, scales and that's all, I started playing piano in a phone app, I never managed to play an actual one, I first started improving with minor scales, dorian and mixo (screw major scale lol) so all I gotta do was selecting a key, it was B (screw C major too), then only use all white, C# and F# so you got B minor, the tonality I started building chords from, improvising with progressions like Bm, A, Em, F#m⁷, Gadd9, Aadd6 and so on. If you want to perform actual pieces instead of just improvising, you can try looking for some piece you know you can practice and perform looking up for a music sheet or synthesia tutorial, I would suggest you souls of fire, from dark souls, and sweden from minecraft, two easy piano pieces that sounds allways great.

[@Mextrj]

Sto trovando utili questi video anche per il piano, grazie 🙏🏼

[@mononoaware1960]

Another amazing video, thank you sir! Kindly requesting the weird Locrian mode or Super Locrian from Melodic Minor. I know it’s mostly used to add tension but would be interesting to see.

[@saptaksoctave8068]

Amazing as always! Keep enriching us sir! 🙌🏻

[@Alwpiano]

No music teachers ever showed me any of this when I was at college. Every teacher taught us classical only. This is why I am learning from KZbin.

[@robertleigh352]

Always excellent teaching and challenging theory! Thanks!

Than you for your great videos. Always valuable information 🎸🎸🎸👍

I've ask for the Phrygian scale in the Lydian's comments! Thank you, professor!

I really enjoy these videos! One day I must take up the guitar...

[@PinheiroJaime]

Basically Phrygian mode is about using always the the base node in A... very helpful

[@frenchiesfrankieandhenry]

Great lesson as always, Tommaso.

Serious sounding

[@roguelife023]

I wanna know how you see things. Why do you always have to keep root of the key ringing when playing different chords? Sounds good though.

[@alexmckenzie8491]

Me encanta! thanks

[@sirbrexit322]

Grazie mille

[@mastertimb]

Thank you Tommaso!

[@markchapman6800]

One thing that I'm surprised that you didn't mention is that the Phrygian mode comes with the Neapolitan 6th chord built in, e.g. in A Phrygian, Bb/D.

[@gemaf]

Sei veramente un saggio.

[@deeplyaffected3520]

Thans. I watch it 5 times

[@AlessandroZir]

thanks!! 🖤🖤🌚

[@carbonmonoxide5052]

One of the things I’ve discovered when writing Phrygian melodies is that switching to the Phrygian scale of the iv chord over the iv chord works very well. It stops the iv chord from sounding too tonic, and adds a bit of a locrian flavor to the piece.

[@perfectblue2033]

Can you tell me on wich interval are subdominant and dominant in phrygian? And other modulations If its possible?

[@christopherheckman5392]

I'm not so much of a fan of the "How To make Music With The X Scale On Guitar" videos, but despite that, I'd like to see you tackle the "impossible" modes of Locrian (1, ♭2, ♭3, 4, ♭5, ♭6, ♭7) or Superlocrian (1, ♭2, ♭3, ♭4, ♭5, ♭6, ♭7) or Enigmatic (1, 2, ♭3, ♭4, 𝄫(♭♭)5, 6, 7).

[@matteousai694]

Ciao... Sei fantadtico e rendi "quasi comprensibili" queste realtá dell'armonia musicale che sono abbadtanza difficili.... Ma faccio fatica a seguire in inglese e afferrare tutto... Fai video anche in italiano?....se prendo il tuo manuale cosa posdo ottenete? Un discorso generale di armonia o... Dalla lezione teorica alla pratica? Grazie... Sei bravissimo

Wooou...this nice , I like this....

[@Nichi-Ji]

Can we get a lesson like this but with locrian

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

Does master of the modes ever go on sale?

[@dashking5059]

How the chords are made on the corresponding notes? Why not A major instead of A minor? Can someone explain??

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

Playlist for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSlZJx_oKmsbdE

[@sciexp]

I guess that the sequence of major, minor, diminished, etc. is the same for any phrygian mode, right? Like for 'natural' E phrygian for instance. Thanks, man. Grazie.

[@liquidsolids9415]

Yes, that's correct. He's using A Phrygian as an example, but the scale and chord patterns are the same for all 12 of the Phrygian modes. The best way to learn is to do it yourself - write out each of the 12 Phrygian (or any mode you want) scales, then form the chords in each scale the same way he showed you in the video. Enjoy!

[@vitorveras9723]

One doubt about modes in general: Can I use a mode chord progression and have it's sound without worring too much with what came before it? Or do I have to prepare the song in a certain way?

[@Nichi-Ji]

Trying to understand what you’re asking here but it’s kind of confusing. I get that you have a modal chord progression but what exactly are you worried about?

[@radikaldesignz]

Love me some Phrygian. He's right about the ear part, and luckily its sound is distinct enough it's not difficult to pick up what works if you just mess around. Look for it in Flamenco music. There's also quite a bit of Metal that makes use of it for the dark and/or mysterious quality it can add.

[@liquidsolids9415]

One thing you can try in a Phrygian solo is to emphasize the half-step between A & Bb (using our example key of A Phrygian). Also, the Phrygian Dominant scale (which replaces the C with a C#) can sound pretty cool. The contrast of the major 3rd (C#) in a melody over the minor 3rd (C) in the harmony can be interesting. Enjoy!

[@AtomizedSound]

It’s all over Metal music

[@radikaldesignz]

@@AtomizedSound I mean, yes, but metal does span the entirety of the modes. In heavier stuff, it tends towards it and locrian and prolonged or thematic dissonance. But neo-classical is an entire sub-genre of metal and I'm pretty sure there are whole albums that never touch phrygian.

[@greglawrencemusic]

Similar to the Ionian mode, Phrygian is just as easy to play in the first position. (one fret per finger) and makes an easily accomplished 'sweep' without shifting hand or finger position. I prefer Phrygian over Dorian...but I don't know why. lol.

[@cactusowo1835]

If you prefer phrygian over dorian is because you probably hear a lot of flamenco 🎸🇪🇦 It has a bit more exotic and raw spirit than dorian, but that doesn't mean one is better that the other, dorian just has a more organic feeling that the other minor armonies and it has the most fresh sound over all the scales

[@davengeo]

no mention to the andalusian cadence?

[@MusicTheoryForGuitar]

That deserves a separate video - especially because it's used in tonal music more than in modal music, so its status as 'phrygian' is debated.

[@TedBoyRomarino]

Andalusian cadence in A minor would be something like Am G F E7... It's in A harmonic minor, and the phrygian chord would be E7b9 (phrygian dominant). This phrygian scale he's teaching is diatonic, not dominant phrygian from harmonic minor.

[@barryvallen1072]

How about the Spanish way. A Phrygian over the major instead of minor ie in this case an A major chord

[@Dr3amDisturb3r]

[@rilysic]

👍💪💪🙏....greeting from indonesian🙏

[@talgy2671]

I thought that phrygian is all white keys where E is a base note.

[@liquidsolids9415]

Yes, if you're on a keyboard, that's true. That would be E Phrygian. If you take the C major scale (which is all the white keys on the keyboard) and start playing it on E instead of C, then you get E Phrygian.
