Exotic Scales - Phrygian Dominant Also called the Phrygian Natural 3rd, The Phrygian Dominant is mode V of the Harmonic minor scale. It is so named because it looks like a regular Phrygian mode scale with a raised or natural 3rd (Since the phyrgian actually has a flattened 3rd). The term dominant is used because like Phrygian mode, this scale has a flattened 7th. The Phrygian dominant is used occasionally by Jimmy Page, and is purportedly Joe Satriani's favorite scale, the large 3 semitone interval between the 2nd and 3rd giving an unusual sound. Number of tones : 7 Intervals : 1,3,1,2,1,2,2 Formula : 1,b2,3,4,5,b6,b7 Characteristic Chords : Augmented, 7, Augmented 7, 7b9 Also Known As: Major Phrygian, Jewish Scale, Gypsy Scale PhrygianDominant.mp3 ( 153.67K ) Number of downloads: 4016 This post has been edited by Andrew Cockburn: Jun 26 2007, 03:35 AM -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
