Can't believe I forgot- The main riff from Harvester of Sorrow (Metallica) is pure Phrygian, and is also one of the most gruesomely evil riffs I have ever heard \m/
That happy birthday phrygian song was really creepy but was awesome at the same time... Imagine, coming home and your friends are actually there to throw you a surprise party but they are all wearing slipknot masks and they sang the happy birthday song in phrygian, now thats brutal
Jake. I would love too say that you have rocked my world. But you completely fucking rocked it. I have been playing for 12 years now. And i have studied both jazz technique and alot of different forms of composition along side alot of different highly competent musiscians. But you just have the secret sauce of teaching down. I love tuning into your videos even though some of the concepts are things i have worked with for yeras. Cause you just have a incredible innovative way of looking and explaining. Job well done, keep rocking and hopefully let some of the kind words inspire you. Greetings from Denmark
I really relate to this - I studied playing piano for a few years, took some guitar lessons for a few years and played bass in a band. It feels like I know a little of everything or sometimes that I don't know anything. These lessons just have really great perspective that help me get a sense of what the hell we're actually talking about.
I just wanna point out how in depth, thought through and well made your videos are. I have learned so many neat things from your videos. You do an amazing job, and hope you can keep it up. You are really helping me out, and the way you teach difficult subjects, and make them comprehendable, is incredible. Thanks!
By far the best music theory video I’ve watched on TH-cam, I actually came out of this one understanding something new which is a rarity in itself… great explanation friend!
This is probably one of the absolute best music theory channels I've come across. No other channel has helped me understand so many basic things this quickly.
After I started watching your breakdowns of the different scales and chords and theory, I've improved so much with my music writing. I would love to see a video on the locrian scale, Diminished Scale, and the Melodic Minor Scale (Assuming it's different from Harmonic Minor)
I have to say that your musical references make me love your videos that much more...in the handful I've watched, you've referenced the beach boys, metallica, dream theater, missy elliot, some motown artists...definitely a sign of a great musician which you certainly are. Thanks for all the free videos!
Great video Jake, I really enjoyed the bass line in your song and being a bass player myself I picked up my bass and learned it, then I noticed it had a a natural second and was about to ask you, but then you pointed it out in the video. You’re a great teacher and please keep making these videos.
I have gone through a lot of resources for music theory and i have to say this u have the best content out there..very interactive and intriguing and has helped me alot...keep up the good work (y).
Jake - I'm feeling like I know you as a good friend. All your videos are just amazing! My mother is a professional musician and she simply loves everything you do. If I would be a teacher - I would simply use your vids.
He is Chad. Every time I come up with something I have to learn how to apply in music theory, his video pops up first, _and_ he's just damn good at explaining everything, definitely one of the best on TH-cam, if not _the_ best music instructor there is. Been subscribed to him since forever.
When you play guitar, there are no rules. People can fly. Anything can happen.Sometimes there is a moment as you are waking that you become aware of the world around you. But you are still playing guitar. You may think you can play the guitar, but you better not try
Thank you Jake, and your supporters. I found Phrygian into Lydian to be a fun "contrasty" sound to practice both scales with, (Like Em into F in C Major). You've certainly heard it before.
I don't know how you do it man, but you do such a great job at explaining advanced musical concepts without being boring. Really like the way you explain stuff man 👍🔥
Compelling work, all very well explained, methodic with much enthusiasm. I am amazed at your channel. Studied harmony as a teen in the 90s playing the violin, but I never imagined someday I would rediscover all so well explained and enjoyable, Thanks Jake! Makes me want to learn the guitar!
Thank you for teaching me to listen & hear music in many forms of music aka other instruments. I love training my 👂 something I never even thought about doing.
Thanks for the video! It really cleared up some confusion I had on how to actually write with it. And so glad you brought up Astral Projection! 90’s psytrance is my favorite!
This mode is not utilized to the most in the western music from what I heared. If you listen to Arabic music, Turkish you will see the full emotion that comes from this mode. You emphasized the dark park of it, but it has a Huge romantic feeling its just that i dont see it being utilized.
People in the West don't use it that much *exactly* because the teaching of music has become dogmatic, rigid and soulless. "There's nothing happy in this scale at all", he says, completely oblivious to the fact that his playing in Phrygian in this video sound completely goofy and hilarious. Phrygian can be so passionate and full of love and heat... Nah! It only serves for invoking demons!
i used the phrygian instead of phrygian dominant in spanish guitar plenty, It's sexy as hell.lol I also use it in ADAGAD tuning. There's nothing scary about it. It;s chanting/dreamy...celtic/irish It's easy.....Play the middle A, D, G as if it's in Bb MAJOR or Gmin = D phrygian The three outside three strings as if it;s still in standard tuning as E Phygian You can even play the Maj3 while you play the b3.... Nothing scary about it. Play the D Major or D min diad. then reach over to play the b3 or b2 on the low D string If you hook a finger on the third fret....5th string,,,that's the b7, now. The (N6)...lets say I was in A minor.... I can simply play Harmonic min b2 ....modulate into D Minor/FMajor It'll be A phrygian ish or you can modulate to Cmin....Bb = Mix ish = G Phrygain ish. or to G min/ Bb Major.
Totally agree, people who were train in western countries couldn't develop the ear or the style for playing this mode correctly, here in Africa it is widely used and doesn t sound Dark at all but passionate... even dreamy sometimes
@@skyzenskyluke5880 Hey don't lump all western countries together, Flamenco ad Fado are usualy played in phrygian too (well Fado is mostly in Dorian)XD
Your instruction is on point. It makes the mystery behind modal theory a lot less mystical. I really enjoy watching and learning, I've been stuck in a guitar rut for a long time. Thank you!!
Great lesson Jake. Thanks to you I know how to play Phrygian Dominant now and what makes it sound the way it does (raised third) let alone increasing my understanding of "normal" Phrygian itself. Keep it up!
I was excited to learn that Katy Perry's Bon Appetit is fully in Phrygian. The tune itself is very simple - but the bass persists with that flat second throughout the song. And it doesn't sound remotely grave, to be honest! It's a bop
One of your best videos ever! I swear all my tracks are in phrygian and, if not, they have the flat 2nd somewhere in a section or two... I always thought it sounded dark and epic, and also exotic. But its exotic'ness has its limits so you can get the goods of both worlds!
For your inevitable phrygian dominant video, the organ solo for "Matilda Mother" by Pink Floyd is in F# phrygian dominant. Also, if you do a video on double harmonic major (phrygian dominant with #7), make sure to include "Misirlou" (traditional eastern Mediterranean song popularized by Dick Dale) and "Killing and Arab" (The Cure). It's such an amazing scale, but very difficult to use harmonically.
Those lessons are unbelievably helpful for someone like me that tends to try to understand too many elements of music theory at the same time and gets confused. You are actually the first person I saw that mentioned that "no full song is in Phrygian". I assumed that - similar to a key - songwriters would simply devote full songs to a mode. This really gives me (a newb) a new perspective on modes/scales, that I didn't have before! The same applies to your advice to not "stray away too far" from the tonic to keep that feel of that mode. It's so simple, but you're the first one that used that advice for the songwriting in modes.
Gotta say as someone who devours TH-cam videos your stuff is in a league of its own. I'm getting more out of your videos than I did at my outrageously expensive popular music college, no joke. Keep it up bud! Would love to see you do a video on reharmonization sometime.
I listen to Steve Stine for music theory. I literally learn it then forget it 2 hours later then relearn it a couple days later and forget it. THIS though... he's a brilliant teacher and imho a musical genius
I fucking love your channel. I've had three years lessons on classical harmony as a part of my classical guitar degree, but i really wanted to get familiar with other modes and sounds and you're making it so easy, undestandable but also really clear. Thank you man :)
Mind blowing, totally fluent in numerous scales and how to navigate then its the hardest thing, being able to compose with this level is mind blowing you are great, thanks for sharing this kind of lessons, really helps me a lot to understand better some concepts, I always come back to your videos!
@@charlescrumpler510 I was just listening to it. I think most of the song is in D phrygian. I'll have to look at some tabs for the solo. It's cool because it doesn't keep going from the D to the Eb like most of these examples. You really hear that the song is not in natural minor when they hit the Eb.
Your observations to use the 2nd & 7th to help keep the tonic obvious is the same approach I developed after trying to play in this key for years. Everytime I would stray away from that root, the music would start to feel like it had a different home. Great observation!
Whenever I have trouble with something theory related, this is the place I come. He totally breaks it down I’m not the smartest guy either. I highly recommend this channel to anyone who plays guitar and wants to push their fretboard knowledge
Brian Eno has an entire album (one 58-minute track) in Phrygian mode. It's "Neroli: Thinking Music, Part IV". From the liner notes: "...the mode is the Phrygian, whose flattened second evokes the Moorish atmosphere alluded to in the title. In this mode the seventh is also flattened, and the combination of these unusual intervals creates a mysterious tonal ambiguity.This is further emphasized in "Neroli", because the root note of the mode is rarely played, whereas the fifth of the scale is prominent. Together, the blurred tonality and the lack of a distinct tonal center give the piece a hovering, weightless character."

Can't believe I forgot- The main riff from Harvester of Sorrow (Metallica) is pure Phrygian, and is also one of the most gruesomely evil riffs I have ever heard \m/
In movies I have to mention: The mob song from Beauty and the beast and Sally's song from the nightmare before christmas
I dont understand, harvester of sorrow is pretty positive/hopeful sounding, i guess it just depends on your outlook in life.
modal metal rulz!!! with a distorted guitar is hard to play nothing but powerchords, but aproaching it modally is a niiiiiiiice flavor.
do something with the WT scale... could be epically randomly simethric!
Spain by Chick Corea has a part entirely in phrygian as well
That happy birthday phrygian song was really creepy but was awesome at the same time... Imagine, coming home and your friends are actually there to throw you a surprise party but they are all wearing slipknot masks and they sang the happy birthday song in phrygian, now thats brutal
Please do this to me
@whatbreaksthesilence That would be like Chuckie hosting your birthday party and Dexter is the one slicing the cake! hehehe
Phrygian is my phavorite.
I see what you did there... ...XD
Its PHYRGIAN AMAZING!
I think it's tuned to the human soul.

Very, very good!
As a new drill producer, your content helps a lot with creating melodies...and a tip for all drill producers..phrygian is the sauce.

It literally does sound like any other industrial ebm track. Well now we know how they write them lol
Ghost anyone?

Several thumbs up for a Phrygian Dominant lesson too!!
Especially if he talks even a little bit about flamenco...
I'm in, I LOVE phrygian dominant!
Agreed! Already love using it, I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on it
Yes. And discuss Tool
What's phrygian dominant
Jake, You got me studying modes 'til 4AM. It is actually fun. In one night you taught me more than teachers tried in months. Respect.
You explain everything more easily than anyone else on the planet. When you explain something, it makes sense. Very easy to understand.
Has anybody noticed how he can play literally anything and talk at the same time lol
It took many years for that to develop... for the longest time all I could do while playing is stare at you like a weirdo.
And also focus on the genuine feel of the music. A lot of diversity.
And he can write chill jazzy rock jams with literally any scale.
...and improvise over them smoove grooves while explaining the theory.
Seriously impressive
Jake goes from Megadeth to Missy Elliott. Badassery! THIS is the way to teach modes and how to recognize them. Awesome.
I just discovered this channel and I am blown away. Learning so much stuff so fast. Seriously excellent teacher 🙌🏽

This is fantastic work, thank you. Nice consistent delivery, great examples, very helpful graphics, well done.
Love how you present the info with pop songs ect. Subbed and will be checking out your other videos. Thanks for taking the time to make these man!

Not many vids on TH-cam that shed this much light on the modes...great job... thank you!!!!
By far the best music theory video I’ve watched on TH-cam, I actually came out of this one understanding something new which is a rarity in itself… great explanation friend!
some of the best guitar content I've ever seen. Thank you so much
I know you're not interested, but I'd love to see a locrian lesson.
I shall do my best! I just have so many other videos that need to get made before I start talking locrian :P
Me too
Please, I can't even comprehend locrian
id take all the harmonic minor modes before a locrian mode video tbh :)
Locrian is the Pluto of the modes. So many other true planets to explore.
This is probably one of the absolute best music theory channels I've come across. No other channel has helped me understand so many basic things this quickly.
By far ...
The BEST channel for learning new stuff. I'm re-watching your whole catalog !!!
So glad I found your channel, you're an amazing teacher!
Fantastic video, godly production!
Bless you Jake! This is lovely

Thank you algorithm.
Loved the challenge you did with Adam Neely on this! Made one of the darkest modes sound mega happy
Loved the Astral Projection example! Always loved to play my guitar and also Astral Projection creations. Thank you for the video.

And the reason it feels so good and like home.
Thanks for this amazing explanation!
Cheers!
Wow I'm impressed by your familiarity with many different music genres!
Great explanation - thanks!
Just wanted to thank you and your work on this channel, rly helped me to find the way ti improve in music like in a few lessons.
Thank you Jake, and your supporters.
I found Phrygian into Lydian to be a fun "contrasty" sound to practice both scales with, (Like Em into F in C Major). You've certainly heard it before.
Epic happy birthday version! Great idea for an album: the most ironic modes for each song: metal in major and phrygian dominant children's songs.

Now here's an idea: rearrange Happy Birthday in all other modes too & make it into one single video.
That may just happen one day, excellent idea!

One of my favorite Phrygian dominant songs is Powerslave by Iron Maiden. Great vid man!
Brilliant lesson, checking it over a year after you posted it. It's aged well. Thanks for making this!

Probably phrygian dominant. It's used a lot in eastern European/middle eastern culture.
yep that shit is all over the place not gonna lie
Oh man thank you so much for doing videos like these you help people around the word to do what they like! Creating and understanding music 😭😭😭😭♥️

Surprised the word "Spanish" didn't occur even once in a discussion of this mode
Well another common name for Phrygian Dominant is "Spanish Phrygian"
Yup. Flamenco is drowning in Phrygian.
what? I though this more Arabic.. well, Andalusia existed
because spain was the gateway not the origin my people are playing songs in this scale for more than 4000 years
Satan: "YOU remembered my BIRTHDAY!!!"
You are my favorite teacher . Very gifted with very detailed explanation thanks cheers
Thank you very much Jake, awesome video and thanks for sharing your tips 👍 💚
Awesome
That composition sounds like Ghost.
I'm not alone then
I may be wrong but I think the main riff to Dance Macabre is in phrygian.
I think you’re right. It has an Eb and an F in there (the song being in D).
@@charlescrumpler510 I was just listening to it. I think most of the song is in D phrygian. I'll have to look at some tabs for the solo. It's cool because it doesn't keep going from the D to the Eb like most of these examples. You really hear that the song is not in natural minor when they hit the Eb.
I was thinking Therion.
Your observations to use the 2nd & 7th to help keep the tonic obvious is the same approach I developed after trying to play in this key for years. Everytime I would stray away from that root, the music would start to feel like it had a different home. Great observation!
Incredible teacher. Learnt so much from all your lessons. Thank you
This scale makes everything sound like a Ghost/Ghost BC song
From now on I'm going to sing Happy Birthday in Phrygian only xD

The last part sounds like the band Ghost. And basically all goa trance style is a phrygian pattern
A very great lesson! I would listen to that improvisation all day
Oh hell yes! I actually asked for this in the comments of some video he made because it's my favorite mode. Awesome to finally see it up :D
Shpongle is dope
Dorset perception by Shpongle has one of best crafted guitar solos you’ll ever hear. And it’s in phrygian!
@@danielivanov4997 The synth solo in Invisible Man in a Flourescent Suit is one of the best of all time across all genres. Shpongle is incredible.
8:16 That’s actually an Arabic scale, it’s called Hijaz
And in indian classical it's called 'thaat bhairavi'
Hijaz = phrygian dominant
Wasn't expecting an Astral Projection shout out, nice! Great vid 👍👍👍
Dude where have you been all my life? This was so helpful!
“If we made Happy Birthday Phrygian what would that sound like?” Depeche Mode that’s what
"White Rabbit" but guess I'm showing my age..
And your good taste
I came here to say this
I believe Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun is also in Phrygian.
The opening of the final improvisation definitely reminds me of it
That bass line at 9.04 was so exotic and moving! 🤘🏼🎶 🎵
Understanding modes is easy but trying to remember and applying the patterns is beyond me still ....i respect you man , thanks for all ur help
