E Phrygian Dominant Mode Lesson

So I basically made this video around two years ago and I think I've come a far way since when it comes to theory, to say the least. Good chance what I'm displaying and the way I do so is far from perfect and honestly, the prime reason I still keep this video up is because it has over 21K views on it. Hopefully it helped the vast majority of you in some manner and I hope it continues to do so.

Over 11 thousand views... awesome. Glad to see this video might have helped some people along the way on the long road of music theory. It's also cool to see that this video sparked up some conversation among fellow musicians out there. Thanks everyone, everything's appreciated.

hey I really like that guitar (maple fretboard? looks great), does anyone know what hes using? also, when can you use a phrygian dominant? can it be used over the ii chord like regular phrygian? or over any minor progression to sound cool? lol

thanks a bunch kyuteh, im using a MM HSS strat (still loving it to this day) and to answer your question I use this mode all the time over minor progressions.

You are wrong oregonskateok. Phrygian dominant is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale. A Harmonic minor, contains the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G#, and A. The fifth mode, E Phrygian Dominant contains the notes E, F, G#, A, B, C, D, and E. They are synonymous.

Nobody said they sounded the same you fucking idiot. I didn't say it sounded like harmonic minor. I said it sounded RELATIVE to the parent scale. Do you know what that word means? They are synonymous. They use the same notes just different tonal centers. Fuck off already. You're a complete douche bag and everyone agrees.

@bettrthanu1 glad it helped! I still play guitar but lately I've been producing a lot. I've been meaning to post another guitar lesson-thing so I'll let you know when I do homie

@kyuteh I think it is a fender strat but im not 100%

V mode of A Harmonic Minor. The people on here would rather talk about what color strat they have.

hahahahaha............

He seems to be starting from F when playing the first pattern which would make it Lydian #2nd. He does end on the E though. He then plays from the 5th fret (A) which makes it straight harmonic minor. Lydian #2nd and Spanish Phrygian (or phrygian dominant, same thing) are modes of harmonic minor.

your action is too low...

@medvidmaks Same notes, but not same succesion of intervals. That means it soundsa bit different (a lot actually). Just like A minor and C major have the same notes but sound very different.

[medvidmaks]

harmonic minor and phrygian dominant it's the same?

[alt9001]

And where's the lesson in this? All you're doing is running up and down in a few positions. How about you teach some modal theory involving this particular mode when writing that in the title.

on the first part why didnt you play the 4-5 on the high E like in the tab?
