A mode is a scale within the key started from a particular degree of the scale, and belive me my friend, I cover them all. When talking about the Phrygian scale, or any other exotic scale your getting into chromatic notes raised, or lowered from the diatonic scale. I dont even know which phrygian mode your referring to because you did not give the key, or note of origan, but thats ok, I'm not posting to match witts with fellow guitarists. My goal is to try and help those who want to improve there skills and knowledge, and if I am wrong about anything feel free to set me straight. I certainly dont know it all, thats why I visit sites like this. Rock on!! :rolleyes:
