Basically, this is a super scale! It sounds beautiful with the chordal harmony, it's great for tension, AND it's more powerful as a 5 chord. Not many scales hold these combined qualities.
@@fretjamguitar dude your videos are the best. I've been playing hours everyday and I devour so much youtube guitar content and your videos are extraordinarily well explained and are just an excellent resource. Your videos have spurred greater practice habits with visualization and tone targeting. Thank you
Amazing study, over my head. I am a Phrygian by birth. I have never had a music lesson, do not read music, but have created some awesome cd's on two keyboard synthesizers. I sat down to a keyboard synth, and in two hours I was amazed. Now I have two synthesizers.
This is the only channel that can somehow make exotic stuff applicable for me, thank you for your work. Your Lydian Dominant and Melodic Minor videos are absolute gold. It’s great that you explain how and where to use these scales while also teaching the theory behind it. These sounds are a lot more accessible to me when given actual examples of them in action.
I've learned quite a bit from these lessons in an hour or so. I will say after nearly 20 years of guitar, piano, saxophone and more. I feel like I know much less than I thought after seeing your content. Well done.
YESSS INDEEEED!!!! LOVE THAT SOUND!!!.. Reminds me of a little bit of an Egyptian flavor!!! THANX SO MUCH!!! And to show my appreciation, I'll be sending you a lobster dinner complete with a delicious salad croutons & feta cheese topped with balsamic vinegar dressing garlic bread and Tiramisu for dessert. And for liquid refreshment? A Chardonnay, Zinfandel, or Corona your choice. Oh and by the way this will be coming to you telepathically by way of the imagination!!! "Bon appetit."🥂😎
I have been playing for many years... I always ignored modes because it seemed like Greek to me.. this made it clear,... thank you... now it's just Phrygian to me!
Kind of lost me towards the end but this has definitely helped my understanding of scales, modes and it’s the best and easiest to understand content I’ve seen!
best video ever, why does the most forget to explain wich chords can be used in wich mode, you are the only one i could found, who explained it in deep :-) thank you thank you thank you so much ... and please ... moore of this :-)
I really like your approach to explaining scales. Also the "Hindu" sound. It's quite a refreshing break from all the diatonic stuff. I think minor really is happening since I discovered Swing.

There isn't much sonic difference between the 7th and bII of this scale, that's probably the one hang-up I've always had about this scale, being one of my favorites. It's great to solo over because you don't really have to move around much, but you basically only get one "color" out of it if you don't have a vocabulary of inversions, extensions, etc.
That's an interesting point and my ears agree! I would say that's kind of how most modes are in terms of their harmonic potential. Modes by definition are restricted to a specific harmonic colour. That said, with phrygian dominant, I find the most striking use of it is when there is an unpredictable chord or key change. It carries a lot of tension and it can completely change the mood of a piece. But I also have a weak spot for the I7 to vii (e.g. E7 to Dm) movement. You hear this a lot in movie scores and it's very powerful. Throw this into a regular major key (e.g. C becomes C7 and then Dbmaj7 or Bbm comes into play) and you get a fresher taste of that phrygian dominant sound.
+Johnny Kirchens A lot of phrasing is about using bends, slides and other lead techniques. I do need to do more lessons on these techniques and I'm tempted to do my next lesson on bending to target notes.
Do the N6. i put it after the C ( b II) if you do just a Maj..it hits the leading tone of the harmonic minor. If you play augmented it goes into the Root of the relative minor. if you do dominant it hits the B ... From there..you can do Mix b2..or axis pitch between Harmonic Major and phrygian dominant...Or the Lydian b3 is over the natural/relative minor I got it going like this....G#...Then G# and F#....Then G#, F# and D#..hahahaa The b II (N6) (1,3...octive)also acts like a sort of leading into D harmonic minor. Kind of like the last mode of the harmonic minor..you can alter it into an Augment. Kind of like the Whole tone. it's totally cool all the scales work together.
I don't like it how sometimes the phrygian dominant scale is played as the same shape as the harmonic minor with the root note on the 5th note. Besides that small thing these videos are so good.
Prodigy - remix from the reggae song : I chase the devil (max Romeo and the upsetters) You find this harmony there. And the classic vibraphone kind of tune that relates to Phrygian dominant!
Very good lesson . Very well explained . where would I find a diagram of the complete phrygian dominat scale covering the whole fretboard , lets say in the key of A .
first start learning the position of chords, and then fingering, after learning all that, go to scales, then pentatonic, then triads, then CAGED sistem, then the circle of 5th, and then continue on your prefer diagram
@@tfwnoyandere That's a ridiculous way to see it, the Pentatonic scale is a shell over which any preference can be imposed and it is a really useful way to get into the modes, it is well worth learning and a guitarist will use it for life.

When a great guitarist uses this scale, you know the song will be epic.
Example is anastasia 🌝😬
When a great guitarist makes up his own and they sound way better, and only he can listen to it
Because East is the motherland of music
I lost it on "great" adjective

This is some of the best content I've seen on the net for guitar players. Good work.
+voskresene Thanks. The style of these videos is not for everyone but if I can help those who have struggled with other lessons then job done.
@@fretjamguitar not only for guitarists as a pianist im learning alot too!
That's exactly what I was thinking. I wanted to understand the scales but also the theory of it and the used for it. Definitely all I was looking for
@@troylow6229 exactly i learn guitar theory from piants

I would love to listen to your work if you've uploaded it.
You bet your sweet dollar that this is one of the best classes I've ever taken in my life. Thanks
I love this cannel so much! Cant believe all these information are free for us, simply the best on youtube, greetins from latin america

Yes! :))

Best channel for guitar theory. Been playing for years even professionally and all your videos are gold.

So it is basically a harmonic minor scale, but starting on the 5th note. Thanks man! I love this cannel.
the best videos on modal scales on youtube. you understand them without having a guitar in your hands.
These are some of the most clear and concise lessons I've ever seen on the internet. You're doing an excellent job.
his guitar solo at the end is so so good I wish there was a tab for every guitar solo at end of each lesson great work thank you.
This is one of the best videos of scales I've ever seen. Thank you for this man, you deserve much more subs and views
I think i found my favourite scale, this sounds magical, thank you ur work is priceless...
I subscribed so fast when I realized this is probably the best video on this scale.
Agree with many other comments - this is a very well presented course you are presenting. Probably the best available on TH-cam. Huge thanks
Wow i now understand the phrygian mode even better
This is the best tutorial out there
Thanks for this video: I will be reviewing all of this information for quite some time. GREAT STUFF!!!!
Ph,Dom is one of the best scales in my idea & ur explaining is the BEST for sure 👍 💯
Net work! As a flamenco guitarist found your explanation on tension and related harmonics fantastic!
YESSS INDEEEED!!!!

Your videos are incredible!! The best online, period!!
Kind of lost me towards the end but this has definitely helped my understanding of scales, modes and it’s the best and easiest to understand content I’ve seen!
Wow... that Cmaj (tonic) movement to the Bbm (7th) is incredibly cinematic.
This is the best explanation with example i have ever seen connecting scales with theory. I am eager to check out other modes. Subscribed!!!
Very exotic middle eastern sound. Another variation that works really well is the Byzantine scale. I love it.
best video ever, why does the most forget to explain wich chords can be used in wich mode, you are the only one i could found, who explained it in deep :-) thank you thank you thank you so much ... and please ... moore of this :-)
By far the best lesson about modes. Thank you my friend
This is unbelievably helpful. Really wish I had found this channel sooner. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for all the resources. All the best!
Wow looking for these kinda lessons for years... thank you!
Now I know how to play the solo for Domination... and half the songs by Death
Yep, Chuck was fond of this one and the regular Phrygian, know those and you can write death sounding riffs if you really work at it! Cheers 🤘
Korn leans heavy on this scale as well.
Thanks for getting me excited about learning theory again!
I love how all the examples are great pieces of music!
The best on TH-cam! Really love this channel!
Still the best video on this scale I ever watched. (:
Your lessons are put together extremely well! Thank you!
Stunning clarity
This is so helpful! I am glad I have learned quite a bit of theory. A few years back I wouldn't have known or understood this.
Really clear and inspiring info. Thank you so much, you're such a wonderful musician and teacher.... The best I've ever come across anywhere. .
Lovely, This is in one of my originals, and like you said, you got to listen to the sound. Love your work. It's really inspiring.
I didn't really understand any of it, but watched it and was inspired, great video!!!
I really like your approach to explaining scales. Also the "Hindu" sound. It's quite a refreshing break from all the diatonic stuff. I think minor really is happening since I discovered Swing.

Excellent. Super clear and precise.

The best thing in this video is the guitarist's soloing.
Absolutely happy to find out this channel
Dude, your videos are amazing!
Awesome this video it is very easy to understand thank you.
I dont know much about theory, but this is mindblowing
i feel like a fucking peasant trying to understand this
Thank you for showing this lesson ❤️❤️❤️🙏
one of the best lessons. Congratz

That last scale is what David Gilmour will use in a Floyd solo

I agree. THE best. Thanks and congratulations!
The best video, detailed explanation... Thnx 👍👍👏👏
You Rock! Great Teacher and serious licks!!🎸 Thankyou🙏
Great phrasing leads and licks!! How do you do that?! You should do a lesson on proper phrasing and targeting the "right" notes of a chord :)
+Johnny Kirchens A lot of phrasing is about using bends, slides and other lead techniques. I do need to do more lessons on these techniques and I'm tempted to do my next lesson on bending to target notes.
Agree. Would be nice

I got it going like this....G#...Then G# and F#....Then G#, F# and D#..hahahaa

simply brilliant teaching here !

Amazing lesson
This is a Friggin' dominant scale
Great lesson,!!
VERY good phrasing!
can you do a video on melodic minor a how to use them in jazz for soloing?
These lessons are great!
Thanks bro..nice tutorial 👍
Very useful with great examples! Thank you!.

It is phrygian mode not phrygian dominant...... It has the g note in it's riff and solos😁

Outstanding; as ever!
Best tutorial about this
This is all very cool. But I don’t know where to start with music theory.
first start learning the position of chords, and then fingering, after learning all that, go to scales, then pentatonic, then triads, then CAGED sistem, then the circle of 5th, and then continue on your prefer diagram
A key idea for me was that CHORDS = SCALES.
@@tfwnoyandere That's a ridiculous way to see it, the Pentatonic scale is a shell over which any preference can be imposed and it is a really useful way to get into the modes, it is well worth learning and a guitarist will use it for life.
@@tfwnoyandere You sound like a really intelligent musician...
Understanding modes is easier than you think.
Top tutto higher level many thanks
Instantly my mind goes to the intro to Mercyful Fate- The Mad Arab Pt.2 (Kutulu)
Great lesson again
This video is top notch!
Without a doubt, the scale I abuse above all others.
God I love this mode!
Thankful 🙏
Very helpful video. Thank you very much good sir.
