| 0:00.0 | I was curious about how to use the Phrygian scale in my playing. |
| 0:17.0 | I know it can be used over Dominic chords a sus-flat-9 kind of sound. |
| 0:21.7 | Ooh, is that correct? |
| 0:23.6 | Sus-flat-no. |
| 0:25.6 | We'll get to that. |
| 0:26.6 | But is it useful in other situations? |
| 0:29.6 | And why is this mode of the major scale useful over dominant chords? |
| 0:33.6 | Is it because it's a fifth above the minor mode of the major scale and implies a resolution to a minor key |
| 0:38.9 | i don't understand any of this adam that's my question to you so are they saying like if you have an |
| 0:43.8 | e7 you can use an e fridgian are you freaking kidding me right you're frigging you're freaking kidding me |

| 1:28.8 | Why you got to give away the A minor? |
| 1:33.0 | I'm not giving it away, but if, so I actually use this scale in my... |
| 1:37.7 | You like that? |
| 1:38.8 | Does that sound good to you? |
| 1:40.0 | No, but there are instances, like, if you have to go, like, |
| 1:42.8 | where you're going to need that A if you want to play melodically in the key of A minor, even if you're on a five chord. Would that be a block chord basic? It is in, this is why I was using this scale in block chords. It's the perfect scale to do block chords with, because you can't really use the altered scale if you want to, like, voice some of these |
