In this example I have taken up with the E Phrygian one more time. I wanted to present another example of how rhythmic variations can make our practicing both more interesting and more challenging, all while increasing our familiarity with all the colours and tensions present within the scales and modes we are choosing to work with.
I won’t say too much more about the mode itself but in this example I chose to take a few different paths through the octaves, unisons and double octaves available to us.
I also imposed an alternating Low/High triplet rhythm onto the pattern so what we hear is a displaced accent on the high notes and low notes; challenging, interesting, and fun!
There is a hi-hat metronome track and a droning E minor chord running in the background to really accentuate the colours of the Phrygian mode.
