C# Phrygian Scale — Bass Ukulele

The C# Phrygian scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the modes family. Here it is mapped onto the Bass Ukulele's EADG strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to C# wherever you play it.

Very dark minor with a half-step above the tonic. Spanish, Flamenco, and metal flavor — exotic, tense, and mysterious.

Heard in: Flamenco, metal, dark film scores — Carlos Santana solos, Joe Satriani's "War", Moorish and Andalusian music.

On the Bass Ukulele's linear EADG tuning the pattern climbs string to string in pitch order, so runs flow straight across the neck.

Play each position slowly against the audio until the shape and the sound lock together, then take it to the progressions in C# to use it over real changes.
