    The Phrygian scale is the third musical mode and is similar to the natural minor scale but with a lowered second note. It is produced when playing a major scale starting from the third note, such as playing an A Phrygian scale from the F major scale. While the notes are the same, the Phrygian scale sounds different depending on whether it is played over a major or minor chord.

    Phrygian scale for guitar

    The Phrygian scale, or mode, is the third of the seven musical modes. It is similar to the
    natural minor except for the lowered second. The Phrygian scale is the minor scale that
    appears when a major scale is started from the third note (third scale-degree). Thus, an F
    major scale played from "A" is an A Phrygian scale. This is why the term "mode" is more
    appropriate than "scale".

    The A Phrygian mode is the same as a F major. So what's the difference? There is no
    difference; it's the chords that create the magic. Playing an A Phrygian scale over an F major
    chord will sound exactly like playing a F major scale (because they are identical). However,
    playing an A Phrygian scale over an A minor chord will sound "Phrygian".
