Re: Looking for exotic scales for Mandola
Well, my shorthand approach for freygish, which is a Yiddish-ism for Phrygian, is to take a standard minor scale, and play in the "5" chord of that scale. Example: playing in the key of D, but using a G minor scale.
Standard D scale D E F# G A B C# D
Freygish D D# F G A A# C D
That's what sorta works for me. People with real theoretical knowledge, feel free to poke holes in my explanation...
