Very cool. This will be fun. Thank you.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

EXCELLENT LESSON..
I HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO REPEATEDLY.
I AM NOT A FAN OF YNGWIE J. MAMSTEEN..
BUT.,I AM HUGE FAN OF PHRYGIAN MODE...ESPECIALLY PUT IN A FLAMENCO GUITAR CONTEXT..

[@Ultimagtr650]

So this is a hexatonic scale repeated 6 frets apart, with the second position using the inverse of the first position, (1/3/4 instead of 1/2/4)

I never thought of doing this, jeez. I'm going to have fun trying this out later. I've always played it differently but this really makes sense. Thank you sir, great lesson :)

Good lesson

[@nerad1994]

If I play A harmonic minor in the key of D, that would be phyrygian dominant correct since A is the 5th of D correct?

[@leonbrownmusic]

In D harmonic minor A is the Phrygian.

[@alva72nashir3]

A harmonic minor... E phrygian dominant
D harmonic minor.. A phrygian dominant
correct?

[@nerad1994]

@@leonbrownmusic thanks, I worded that weird

[@Carlos-cx2nv]

Great lesson. You're are a very good teacher. Thanks

[@alva72nashir3]

if I play A Harmonic minor that would be E Phrygian dominant..
if I play D Harmonic minor that would be A Phrygian dominant.. correct?

[@SaltAndLight1027]

Yes

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

That Yingway Woundstring guy is a beast on guitar. But only Chet Atkins could play Dixie and and Yankee Doodle Dandy on guitar at the same time.

[@a.g.4843]

In the first pattern you ditch g# and that is not the 3rd?!

[@a.g.4843]

And g# is the characteristic note of a harmonic minor. So if you ditch it, there is no harmonic minor character left, right? Can you explain this??

[@rizalomar4377]

nice one

[@TobyBrown-bi1gp]

If the open string g is diminish what key am I in.

[@chrisburzenski2317]

Great stuff! Thanks!

[@TobyBrown-bi1gp]

Open e to f half step open b to c half step Edward brown. Toby keith.

[@rahbirt]

Isn't this the diminished scale?

[@leonbrownmusic]

No.

[@roberics6720]

Think about it, half step, whole step, moving one fret up the neck for each higher string

[@leonbrownmusic]

@@roberics6720 Still no. Eb dim is Eb E F# G A Bb C Db. I am showing you D# E F#A B C. I am showing you a hexatonic pattern that is all the notes of E Harmonic minor without the flat 3rd. Watch the video again.

[@rahbirt]

@@leonbrownmusic You're right. I always assumed Yngwie played the diminished descending scale in the beginning of the solo to I'll See the Light Tonight. But I guess he played the scale you're showing!

[@johnletitia]

Hello, could you show the tab for this to clarify for me? thanks!
