G# Phrygian — Tenor Guitar

G# Phrygian is 7 notes per octave (modes family), drawn here as position boxes on the Tenor Guitar's CGDA 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.

Fifths spread each scale wider per string than a standard guitar — fewer notes per position, longer reaches, and patterns that repeat cleanly across every string pair.

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.
