	Musical mode
		Early music made heavy use of the Church modes, which were later organized due to their relationship to the interval pattern of the major scale.
		For example, in Irish traditional music the ionian, dorian, aeolian and mixolydian modes occur (in roughly decreasing order of frequency); the phrygian mode is an important part of the flamenco sound.
		Locrian, the theoretical mode, is identical to Aeolian, except its 2nd and 5th scale degrees are flattened.

		Phrygian Mode The third mode of the major scale is called the phrygian mode.
		This scale, like the dorian mode, is also similar to the minor scale, except that the second step in the phrygian mode is lowered by a half step.
		The phrygian mode is used occasionally over a minor seventh chord, although often the chord is written as m7b9 as a hint to the improviser that the phrygian scale is to be used.

	On Modes, by Jody Nagel
		In the case of transforming the transposed Phrygian mode into a Heptatonia Secunda mode, however, it is the tonic pitch itself which must be displaced down a semitone, and the point of reference of the whole system (i.e., "C") is thus lost from the scale.
		The modes are pitch collections from which music is made, and two important subsets of the collection are the tonic triad pitches and the tritone pitches.
		In the Mixolydian and Dorian modes, the third could be omitted from the final tonic sonority; this creates a more "hollow" sounding tonic, but, to this writer, one which has more of a sense of closure than when the tritone-participating scale degree 3 is present.

		One most often hears the phrygian mode in musics deriving from the classical tradition in Spain (which was undoubtably influenced by local spanish folk traditions and the moorish invasions).
		The corresponding mode from the harmonic minor scale is also used interchangably with the phrygian mode in such musics.

	Musical mode
		A mode indicated a primary pitch or final and the organization of pitches in relation to the final, and suggested range, melodic formulas associated with different modes, location and importance of cadences, and affect (ie, emotional affect).
		However, the modes were later organized due to their relationship to the interval pattern of the major scale.
		Phrygian is identical to Aeolian, except its 2nd scale degree is lowered one half-step.

	Phrygian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Confusingly, the ancient-Greek Phrygian mode is the same as the medieval and modern Dorian mode.
		Thus, in mediaeval and modern music, the Phrygian mode is a minor musical mode or diatonic scale and may be constructed from the major scale starting on the third scale degree.
		Phrygian major is also known as the Spanish gypsy scale, and is often used in flamenco music.

	The Phrygian Mode
		[ Ionian ] [ Aeolian ] [ Dorian ] [ Phrygian ] [ Lydian ] [ Mixolydian ] [ Locrian ]
		This pattern of intervals: S-T-T-T-S-T-T is the characteristic of the Phrygian mode, and is a Minor mode.
		Because the mode is characterised by its interval structure, you can start on any note and progress with the same intervals to produce a Phrygian mode in that 'key'.

	Modes in Traditional and Early Music
		The Ionian, in fact, was termed the "lascivious mode." One of the composers who was particularly fond of using the flatted B in this manner was Abbess Hildegard of Bingen.
		In plagal modes (which are the modes a fourth below the authentic modes), the tenor is a third below the tenor of the corresponding authentic mode.
		The first basic scale given is with the B omitted, the second with the F. The Hexatonic mode which would be ambiguous between the Locrian and Lydian is impossible due to the omission of the keynote.

	Medieval Church Modes
		In chants sung in a given mode, the cofinalis was often used as a secondary tonal center.
		Among the authentic modes, the Phrygian is the transgressor to this convention.
		A liturgical mode shouls rather be understood as specified by a sequence of intervals (not well tempered), a range, and by its finalis and cofinalis.

	Modes of the Major Scale - An Introduction To Modes
		Modes allow us to generate an interval structure that is different than that of the major scale and therefore, produce a unique sound quality.
		Modes are derived by taking a scale and starting and stopping on a note within the scale other than the root note.
		The remaining four modes of the major scale are extrapolated in the same manner as we have already seen.

	What are the Seven Modes of Music?
		Composers often find the Phrygian mode to be as useful as the traditional minor (Aeolian) scale, but without the inherent sadness.
		This is a popular mode among jazz musicians who enjoy using a mixture of major and minor chord progression in inventive ways.
		It exists because all seven notes of the Ionian scale could form modes in a mathematical sense, but the relationship between intervals in the Locrian mode is simply not that interesting musically.

	Origins of the church modes
		Different modes were used at different times and for different parts of their services.
		Sometimes the church modes are described in terms of a process whereby the notes may be sounded.
		E.g., Phrygian mode can sounded by playing the white keys on a piano from E to E. But Phrygian mode is not just a C scale starting on a different note.

	Soloing using E phrygian
		Modes are simply major scales starting from a scale degree other than the root.
		Phrygian is the third mode built from a major scale and E phrygian works well over the 3rd and 4th measure of this Metallica riff.
		I personally like the key of E minor/G major for the first 2 measures and then change to the key of C major/A minor and use the E phrygian for the 3rd and 4th.

	Mode question - StoneDragon's Guitar Discussion Forum
		The Phrygian mode is hwwwhww, the root note is the third note of the iolian mode..etc etc..till the seventh mode..
		Modes are so simple that they get complicated because the premise is so straightforward that we mere mortals try to make them harder than they are.
		Another way of thinking of modes in very laymans terms is that a mode is a pattern, I know I said it isn't and its an interval but that might be hard to comprehend at first so if you don't know intervals, think of each pattern as it relates to the chord scale.

	The Dorian b2 Mode
		Even though the name of this mode is the dorian b2 mode, it generally does not replace the dorian mode.
		It is used as a replacement for the phrygian mode.
		This mode of the melodic minor scale is perfect for a 13(b9sus) or (b9sus) chord but can also be used over a minor chord that does not contain a 9th.

	The Ancient Musical Modes: What Were They?
		When Plato said the Dorian mode sounds sincere, and Aristotle said that it avoids extremes, they perhaps meant that there are no 1 1/2-step intervals, and/or that the upper tetrachord matches the lower tetrachord and/or that the tonic would usually fall on one of the middle strings.
		The Dorian mode settles the mind and is gravest and manliest and "avoids extremes".
		Dorian is E to E on the white keys, Phrygian is D to D on the white keys, Lydian is the major, Aeolian is still the natural minor, Mixolydian is B to B, etc. Credits Pythagoras with introducing the octave as two tetrachords a fifth apart.

		Modes are scales using the same notes as the parent (major) scale but with a different choice of tonic note.
		For the minor chords use the E Phrygian mode for the Em7 chord, the A Aeolian mode for Am7 and the D Dorian mode for Dm7.

		Modes are not put together with steps, but by altering the major scale.
		Each entry has the name of the mode, the notes that are found in it, and the TAB for it.
		Memorize that the dorian corresponds to the second degree of the scale, phrygian to the third, lydian to the fourth, mixolodian to the fifth, aeolian to the sixth, and locrian to the seventh.

		Whatever the root note of a particular mode may be—for example, B in the B Phrygian mode—that root note must be made clear to the listener in order for the unique harmonic texture of a given mode to be experienced by the listener.
		You’ll notice that B Phrygian is built from the third note of the G major scale, so Phrygian is logically known as the third mode of the major scale.
		If we play a C note within the context of B Phrygian, the function of this note is entirely different than if it were played within the context of G major.

		Phrygian is the third mode stemming from the Ionian mode (major scale).
		Our formula for the Phrygian mode is 1, b2, b3, 4, 5, b6 and b7 (8va).
		If you don't, all we'd do is instead of using the finger pattern 1, 1, 2 and 4 to move about on the G string through the positions, we would use fingers 1, 3, 1 and 3 to execute the pattern.

	Lesson 23- Modes
		There was a resurgence of interest in modes toward the end of the 19th century, with composers like Debussy.
		The first and perhaps most important thing to remember about modes is: A mode is distinguished by the pattern of tones and semitones, not by the actual pitches used.
		E-flat is the 4th note of the B-flat scale; therefore, this is in the Lydian mode, which is the mode based on the 4th note of a major scale.

	phrygian - musings
		To me, Phrygian is a type of mode - it's a rather minor-sounding key, with a slight Oriental-flair to it like most modes.
		The Phrygian scale (which is the succession of seven notes in the Phrygian mode) was originally initiated on E as such: E F G A B C D E. Written out in steps it equates to: Semitone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Semitone, Tone, Tone.
		I found lots of drawings of the types of headgear worn by Phrygians, but for the life of my I couldn't understand what the woman in the song would be wearing something that resembled a Smurf hat with earflaps.

		The phrygian mode is the third mode of the major scale, in other words, playing the phrygian is the same as playing a major scale starting at the third note.
		The finger pattern for the Phrygian mode is as follows:
		In this example we are playing the F# phrygian scale, starting at the 2nd fret of the 6th (low E) string.
