Phrygian Arpegitos etc. (Spelling I know..)


Hey. Basically, I wrote a riff in:

D Phrygian
which is:

1, b2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7

Notes:

D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb, C


Now basically, I wana 1. write a rhythm track, so I need to figure out what chords will sit nicely underneath it.

2. I'd like to write some arpegitos for a solo for it, but i've no idea which notes I should use for the arpegito.

If it was something like A major, I could do it because it'd just be:
1, 3, 5, A, C, E
So i'd just find some nice sweeps on the fretboard.

But now im with a mode, im like woah?!? where do I go now?

I'd love some help. Thanks very much.

Well, first of all, yeah man, it is spelled arpeggio, not arpegito.

Second, as far as I know, arpeggios aren't any different regardless of the mode you are in. Regardless of whether you are in D Phrygian, D Dorian, or D Aeolian (aka "Natural Minor"), you can always use a D minor arpeggio (D,F,A) since all of those modes are minor, and contain the b3.

Also, D Phrygian contains the same exact notes as Bb major, it is just that the D note in Bb major is now your home base (root) note, instead of the Bb.

Constructing triadic (root, third, fifth) arpeggios is no different in modes than it is in scales.

Hope this helps. If I confused you, then please let me know.

Yeah thanks man. As a matter of fact, I kinda came up with that theory about the Bb major, because it seemed the only logical thing to do to me. But I never thought of the minor thing. Thanks. It cleared some stuff up

And ha. :P Thats why I got an E in my English coursework :P

thanks.

Sweep Arpeggios


Dudes, THE MAN for sweep arpeggios is Mario Parga. If you havent already - check out his new album Entranced. he has some cool videos on his website (listen to the scary sweeps on the homepage and soundclps), im trying to find tab of his arpeggio technique, if any of you guys have any ill trade with you (i already have his 'solo in D' though).

Ah so looking back on this, I could write say an A minor arpeggio (say my riff or w/e is in A Phyrigian), and to make it more modal I could throw in an extra note from the phrygian mode or something?

If you wanted to utilize the sound of the Phrygian mode, than yes. The easiest way to do that is to utilize the one note that gives the Phrygian mode it's quality. The note is the flattened second. By flattening the second note of a Natural Minor scale (aka, the aeolian mode), you get the Phrygian mode. The flattened 2nd in A Phrygian would be a Bb
