Guys, plain and simple. This is the difference between E phrygian and C major.
C major resolves to C. E Phrygian resolves to E. This gets them COMPLETELY different feels. If they sound the same to you, then you aren't playing modally (because the tonal center isn't in the right spot).
A perfect comparison is A minor and C major. They use the same notes but they don't sound the same. In A minor everything resolves to A, in C major everything resolves to C, in E phrygian everything resolves to E.
Modes are just like other keys, the difference is the notes you put emphasis on. For example, if I take C Major, and put emphasis on the 3 chord (E minor) then I would have a Phrygian sound.
@dYinGinFeRnO In this example I'm in the key of C, because I'm playing E Phrygian. If I were playing A Phrygian, then I would be in the key of F. Thanks for checking out the video!
Phrygian is a minor scale that has a minor second instead of a major second. Thats pretty much it, its a mode, and without context the lick in this video is actually F major, as you would need some sort of chord to determine wether it was modal or not.

Modes are... Complicated.
No wonder people go to music school in order to learn about them.

@Alejoint73:
They're not really. If you know the major scale, you can work them all out from it.
I didn't have to go to school to learn them.

@Alejoint73 They're not all that complicated... They're basically just displaced major scales =/

A Phrygian is the third mode of the F Major scale. If you play an F Major scale starting on the note A, you have A Phrygian. :)

I thought Phrygian was from the natural Emajor scale.

I think it's one model after the series.
On the guitar it says Ibanez Prestige.
It's a great guitar!
