Whenever I want a 'dark' sound in my music, I immediately reach for the Phrygian scale.

It's not the darkest scale out there, but to my ear it has the right combination of exoticism and familiarity: it's dark, but not 'alien'.

It's a 'relatable' darkness, so to speak.

Or at least, that's the way it sounds to me. It may sound different to you, though I would be surprised if this scale sounded 'positive' to you.

Either way, this scale has been a favorite of metal players, flamenco players (some people call it the 'flamenco minor' scale), film music composer and the occasional jazz player. There's something for everybody here :)

But it's not a one-trick-scale! The sheer variety of sounds you can take out of it is staggering.

In this video you'll find a guided tour of the Phrygian scale, together with several chord progressions and examples. And yes, you can use them in your songs! :-)

Have fun with the Phrygian scale!
