Hey, it gets the job done, doesn't it? Tell that to Van Halen, who puts the pick tween his thumb and middle finger.

This guy's picking technique is flawed.He's using his fingers rather than wrist.

Thanks, man. You should check out the book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory". I don't say that to insult your intelligence, as a matter of fact, I'm reading through it myself right now. Very informative. Check out Doug Mark's Metal Method Lessons called Metal theory, very good. also. Later...

Yeah these guitar videos usually name intervals wrong. Phyrgian mode consists of your Tonic, a minor second, a minor third, perfect fourth and fifth, minor sixth, and minor seventh. All these guy is doing is showing you positions, which is not how modes work.

wow u guys know so much theory abt music...i wish even i knew all that

It simply means to back the natural note by 1 fret, know as a half step or half tone. Flat 4th or flat 5th is improper name, because they are perfect intervals (due to frequency) they are properly called diminished 4th or diminished 5th.

1, b2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7, 8' are intervals, this is the formula to make the phrygian mode.

number your notes 1-7 so in this vid the key is b so the 1st=b 2nd=c 3rd =d and so on. because there is no b#/cb and e#/fb as such, for your second note in the scale c natural will be your flatened, (c# would be the note if it was a nornal 2nd) the flat3 will be d (it would be D# if it was a normal 3rd) and so on. giving u a full scale of BCDEF#GAB. does that make sense? i found ur question a bit difficult to understand!

hey ok i have a question well here we go what does it mean when like in the phrygian mode e it is 1, flat2 , flat3, 4, 5 , flat 6 , flat7 so what is that i know theres seven notes but how do you know if its flat or not because the 3 rd and 4th isnt flat on the fretboard cuz ibeleieve its the1st fret and second well the 1st is but not 2nd

true, both have very weird styles.
