C Phrygian — Jacob Collier 5-String

C Phrygian is 7 notes per octave (modes family), drawn here as position boxes on the Jacob Collier 5-String's DAEAD grid with the root flagged in each — learn one box deeply, then let the overlaps carry you into the next.

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.

The DAEAD tuning mirrors around its middle E string, so a box does not keep its shape as it crosses the centre the way it would on a guitar — these maps draw every position where it actually falls.

Play each box top to bottom until the roots feel like home base, then practice crossing between boxes mid-phrase — neck freedom is exactly that crossing, nothing more.
