Title: Ending Run: Phrygian
Post by: B3Wannabe on May 03, 2006, 08:22:28 AM

Here's something that I picked up the other day, while practicing....

When you end a song on a I Maj or I Maj7 chord, you can do a decending phrygian run.

Try this:


Key A:

LH\RH

A-E-G# \ A, B, C#, B, A, G#, F#, E, D, C#

Okay. A tight end is always necessary. Thank you.

Can you explain what Phrygian is?

It's a mode of a major scale, starting on the 3rd note and ending an octave higher on the same note.

C#, B, A, G#, F#, E, D, C# = C# Phrygian (descending)

...same notes and the A Major scale.

Thinking of that scale as phyrigian only makes it complicated.  It's an A major scale to me.

Except for when we go 4 wide on 3rd and long.
