Now we have the 3rd note of the major scale,
the Phyrgian mode and G flat is the third
note of the D major scale so we are going
to play D major, 2 sharps. We start here on
our G flat and Phyrgian starts off with a
flat too, flat 3, 4, 5, flat 6 and flat 7.
You can hear that cool Spanish tinge to it.
Notice we are barely using any black notes
at all even though it is G flat because you
have all these flats in there. You have your
flat 2, flat 3, flat 6 and flat 7. So all
you really have that is normal is your 1,4
and 5. Again, there is no void notes in there
so you can just kind of float around the whole
scale. This isn't a scale that you see notated
often but it is great for improvisation because
it has all these nice color tones in there
and just keep in mind it is the 3rd note of
the major scale so we are going out of D major
so that is your G flat Phyrgian.
