C Phrygian Dominant
C · D♭ · E · F · G · A♭ · B♭
The fifth mode of harmonic minor, C Phrygian Dominant is a Phrygian scale with a major third, producing an augmented second between the flat second and that third. It's the definitive flamenco sound, and equally at home in klezmer, Middle Eastern music, and neoclassical metal. One of the most rewarding exotic scales to learn.
