Written by Morten Gjermundsen(trollstjerne@yahoo.no)

Hello rockers and metalheads.In this lesson we will have another look at the Phrygian scale to create killer solos!!I have written about this before,so if you want you can check out the other ones later...When you are practicing i recommend you get yourself some jam cdīs or maybe a drum machine with bass so you can get the most out of your practicing.

This is of course not the only position to play this scale.Check out Metalsolos for other positions.Also for those who didnīt know E phrygian use the same notes as the C major scale so if you want go to the modes and learn the modes of C major too.
