To avoid confusion...

what - confusion about modes and scales - surely not!!! :roll:

... when I said that "My Life" was using the Phrygian scale, I should have said the Phrygian Dominant Scale - the one with the major 3rd so in C the major third is E rather than the usual Eb for the normal Phrygian Scale.

There now - I bet that's made it all totally clear to everybody. :motz:

I now see that my "Guitar on Tap" book says of the Phrygian Scale - "It's almost impossible to apply this scale in rock and pop". I'm glad I didn't know that before! :D

Definitely a minor sound, although I've never heard Carlos Santana use a Phrygian mode. Al DiMeola, maybe . . .
