The Modes in Detail - Phrygian

The phrygian scale is pretty cool because it has a minor 2nd between the root and the second scale degree. That gives it a very exotic sound!

Chinese translation for Chinese student.

如果拿Phrygian 音階和大調(major)音階來比較,Phrygian音階多了降2降3降6降7音。

在第一個音和第二個音中間是個半音,也因為這樣聽起來非常特別。

這個C為開頭音的Phrygian順階和弦,第一個和弦為Cminor 第二個和弦為Dbmajor

你可以聽到這樣的聲響在很多中東音樂、猶太音樂中等。

演奏大調音階跟Phrygian音階,比較看看。

通常在小調中會用到Phrygian,但是跟Dorian, Aeolian比,Phrygian最少用到。

Don Thompson Six

This is a clip from the 1960's featuring Canadian jazz musician Don Thompson on vibes. Don is a quadruple threat on vibes, piano, bass and drums and plays them all with virtuosic aplomb. He started out as a bassist with the John Handy Quartet in San Francisco, though he was a professional by age 20. He did a long tenure with Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass, first as a percussionist, then as a bassist and finally as a pianist.
