Phrygian Family of Chords:
i chord = E minor (4 note chord = E minor 7th)
II chord = F major (4 note chord = F major 7th)
III chord = G major (4 note chord = G dominant 7th)
iv chord = A minor (4 note chord = A minor 7th)
vo chord = B diminished (4 note chord = B minor 7th flat 5th)
VI chord = C major (4 note chord = C major 7th)
vii chord = D minor (4 note chord = D minor 7th)
Now record (or have a friend play) these common Phrygian progressions 5 to 10 minutes each and live (or on another track) play the E Phrygian scale using quarter then eighth notes.
E Phrygian scale = E, F, G, A , B, C, D, E
1. i //// II //// III //// II ////
2. i //// II //// iv //// III ////
3. i //// iv //// II //// i ////
Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
