- With examples and Tabs.
In this video you will nail the secrets of the Phrygian Mode and Phrygian scale and learn how to put this dark and oriental beauty into daily playing over Phrygian chord progressions and minor chords. I’ll explain everything about this scale and why it’s such a wonderful asset to you your playing routines. You can play this profound sounding Phrygian scale in different situations over different chords. That’s what you will learn in this video by examples in different styles with tablature on screen. Learn also a thing or two about the major 7 arpeggio and a Steve Vai Phrygian signature lick which is awesome to combine with Phrygian scale!

Well finally I understand the difference --love that rendition of "happy birthday " inPhrygian ---Now I GET why its darker ---! thankyou so much for the clarification !!!
Finally --best teacher on the planet ---without a doubt---thankyou !!Clear as a bell now !
Thanks!
The use of happy birthday is a perfect example of the tone and mood the mode evokes. Imagine looking at someone and singing happy birthday to them this way. It pulls out nothing but pity, sorrow, and darkness.
It brings a very dark and disconnected feeling to this song indeed Argle Bargle. Everybody associates this song with happiness and joy, so the mmod change is even more strinking.
@@QJamTracks Hey Rob, om een liedje als happy birthday om te zetten in Phrygian, of welke andere mode dan ook, moet je dus de akkoorden van happy birthday vertalen naar de mode degrees van Phrygian? Dus "I" akkoord in happy birthday is ipv "C", nu Em akkoord etc?
I was in a badly confused state on the phrygian mode /scale ---! Love Flamenco ---so when I found this video I was so enlightened to this scale --
suddenly you opened up the whole thing with Birthday ----a dark version --and Bowies space oddity ---I was blown away by the flat 2 nd --and suddenly everything made sense --I aim no longer in doubt ---most grateful for your teaching !
Amazing --always wondered why that sad intro to Space Oddity sounded so dark ---ITS PHRYGIAN mode -! thakyou for that example --has cleared up my confusion !
This is literally the best freaking channel on youtube! As a guy who has only foccused on technique this is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this man! I hope you get huge soon!
Thanks Joäo for you nice comment!! :)
I agree with you Jose. I’ve been playing guitar for a lot of years and went through the whole lead guitar flash thing and many years later I finally realized I can’t play a song from beginning to the end just the rhythm parts. I would rather be a great rhythm player in the band and leave the lead for somebody that’s better at it than myself.
Thank you for such a nice explanation!!! Keep doing videos like this please
Great content! Thank you!
Amazing way to explain the mode! Finally I could get the difference by exploring in deep only one mode, with real examples and a very clear, practical, less theoretical explanation
Keep it up Rob! Good to see positive, respectful and constructive comments!
Thanks mate!! I Appreciate your comment :)
a tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Jaylen Kylen Yup, been watching on flixzone for since december myself :)
Man, such great content, as always. I tell everyone to subscribe, all the time.
Thanks again
Thanks you Harlan for telling others about my channel! Means a lot to me :)
I criticised your physician dominant video for lacking an explanation of its brighter sister, the phyrigian, but perhaps you wanted us to come here first. This was really clear.
Thanks!
Well done, many thanks !
Great channel , great lessons!
Yeah, really like your teachings videos, thanks!
Thanks, your videos are helping me a lot 👍 you’ve explained the topic very well and clearly.
Great Job this was probably the first time it actually sunk in for me how to actually use a mode. AS the gent below states "from a guy that worked on his technique all these years" THANK YOU.
Happy birthday in phrygian is a straight up banger
thank you ,for this lesson
thank for the great lessons,man..
Fantastic. Thank you.
You're very welcome :)
I am so glad that I just discovered you while digging deeper into the wonderful world of Phrygian! While I do subscribe to some channels I very seldom choose the 'Bell' notification option but I am so impressed by your style and playing that I want to know more about you and what you are up to. I always gravitate to people that I can learn from so thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. Best success to you.
Thank you PJ for these nice words. Phrygian modes are my favorite too :)
I like this channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Saludos!!
Thank you Miguel!
Oh my god I burst out laughing when you said “sounds like a birthday party of Lucifer himself” You are absolutely hilarious!!!
:)
Love this channel to death
I am so addicted to your channel. You have a way to explain things that makes it really easy to understand. Most of the other channels just concentrate on soloing and licks, licks, and more licks....which in all reality unless one is a solo performer helps in no way at all. 90% if not 95% of what we play in our band situations is going to be rhythm. Also, I do not understand how is it that many musicians (specially guitar players) concentrate on having good chops and licks and they fail terribly at songwriting...which is a total shame. Sorry for the rant hahaha...but thank you very much for such a great channel and keep up with the excellent lessons!!!
Thank you Jose! Keeps me motivated to go on with this channel :)
for songwriting you shouldn't look up guitar with it, although I agree this is probably the best guitarcentric channel for songwriting, I would suggest theory in general or maybe piano. rick beato has excellent and very high level theory lessons, michael new is good if you don't know anything about theory. adam neely is more entertainment than theory sometimes but he also does a great job
@@noahmcgaffey797 thanks, I am subscribed to the other two channels but still I like this one over them. I am not into advanced theory that much, I am heavily motivated by this channel because it gives very good examples that I am able to apply on the spot and also Rob's way of explaining things works for me 100%. Nevertheless, I do really appreciate your suggestions Noah. Thanks!
Rob, have you watched Rick Beato's last video on how his channel grew over time? It is a great video to watch for people like yourself creating musical content.
I wish you continuing success and will do my part to help!
Thanks Harlan for your support! I'm following Rick Beato for a while now. I saw that video in my list. I still have to watch it, but I'm sure it's very helpful. Thanks for the tip.
The Tea Party - Edges of Twilight album if you want some Phrygian.
good
Bedankt hiervoor 👍
Graag gedaan :)
Watching your video quality makes me feel like i cant afford it
Happy birthday in phrygian sounds like 'happy funeral'
Muchas Gracias! Sub spanish please!
Brilliant. Thank you for this comprehensive study. The many pieces cited bring concrete. We could also quote "For the love of God" but the second minor is not played in the theme. Continue like this, I follow you with great interest.
Thanks!! I appreciate this. Indeed For The Love Of God has a phrygian twist on the Fmaj7#11 chord. He has skipped the f and f# in the main theme just like you said, except for very last phrase. Also the tonic has a sharpened second (or ninth) degree (f# in Em add9) so the phrygian character is only present when the Fmaj7#11 chord is played. Thanks again Tien for your nice comment :)
@@QJamTracks
Indeed for the Em add9, well done! Thank you for your answer
Expertly done! I've been trying my best to familiarize myself with this cool sounding mode recently, so this was uploaded at the perfect time. Introduced me to some great music as well!
Thanks! Timing is everything :) Glad I could help you with this mode.
Great lesson love your work. One word of warning though, don,t leave that acoustic next to the door Dude all sorts of shit could happen. LoL
:) It's my variation of the baseball bat. I bore thieves to death with endless theory and whole tone scales ;)
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Phrygian chords progression start from major third ... which extended chords are also used in phrygian ?
At 3:00, why do you use the b2 (F) chord in bar 3 of happy birthday? There is not a b2 in the major (Ionian) version.
Remember Tomorrow by Iron Maiden is another good example.
Yes true. That song is a perfect example of the Phrygian mode.
@@QJamTracks Fantastic channel btw! I really appreciate the work you put into these videos. They are very informative and inspiring!
@@realpool Thanks!
To be honest i personally dont like pentatonic mixed with b2. I prefer either the pure rocking pentatonic minor or the full on phrygian scale
Yes it is a matter of taste. I understand what you mean. Personally I like to mix things around :)
Didn't know Pirlo decided to pick up the guitar after he retired from football.
:)
How about Slash when he played God Father, is it also fhrygian?
Mixed with the Slash Scale (blues but with Slash playing )
can i jam on that backing track and post my version?
Sure. As long as you make it clear that the backing track is made by QJAmTracks it's fine with me. Could you send me a link? I'm always curious how people improvise on my tracks :)
@@QJamTracks Of course, your name and link to your page will be included.
So E Phrygian is basically playing the C major scale in a given E/E minor key?
The Phrygian mode is not a key, but a scale. E Phrygian uses notes from the C major scale. Its an C major scale starting on the 3rd note of the scale. This results in a minor scale with a flattened 2nd degree.
@@QJamTracks I get that.
After all theses changes you also might consider switching to different mode. Like phrygian 🤷🏻♂️
true!
👊 🎭
Thanks!!
Why do you have the tabs so small and blurry? This is a waste!
Why do you keep taking down the patterns? As soon as I get my fingers in position, you take them down! Dont take them down!
The pause button helps.
