What did he say? Friggin' Dominant Scale? Or simply, Phyrgian/Phyrigian Dominant Scale?
A resounding +1 to that wrap-up! Sort of a follow-up to "shut up and play yer guitar."Hi Toni!
Not sure what he's saying, but I do know it's a nice way to waste 10 minutes and 12 seconds (unless the only thing you care about is the mode you play in, and not how good it sounds).
Keep enjoying yourself walrus.... and I'm sure the liaison note you throw here and there on your major or pentatonic scale when you improvise on a chord progression, puts you in one of these fancy sounding and exotic modes. You just don't know it, and it's as well like that if you ask me.
You can spend the whole day explaining to me what the difference is between Dorian, Phrygian, Aolian, Mixolydian, Lydian, Ionian, Locrian, and chewing gum, (actually you won't spend the whole day cuz I'll run away after about 30 seconds) but it won't make you sound any better to my ears, as brilliantly demonstrated on this clip.
Haven't see the video and can't watch it here; I hope im not off topic …
Maybe this can help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(music)
Just try it: Sit in front of a piano keyboard an play a scale of 8 notes, using white keys only:
- starting from C it is Ionian (the modern major scale)
- starting from D it is Dorian
- starting from E it is Phrygian
- starting from F it is Lydian
- starting from G it is Mixolydian
- starting from A it is Aeolian (the natural minor scale)
- starting from B it is Locrian
It's not necessary to know such things, but sometimes a little bit of theory and history might help.

Only your eye?My eye hurts.
Why is that still in my brain?! Steffan
I would agree with that summation.I'd consider using "tutor" for "tudor" even though with my sloppy pronunciation they sound the same.
