Guitar Fills With F Phrygian

F Phrygian runs 7 notes to the octave. Below it is laid onto this chair's EADGBE fretboard with every F marked, because what a fill needs mid-song is not the pattern — it is where the root is when the chord changes under it.

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.

A guitar fill is a flatpicked line, and it lives closest to the vocal melody of any chair in the arrangement — the scale is what fills the bar where the melody is only a long note.

Play it slowly against the audio until the shape stops being a shape, then take it to a song in F and let the melody pick its own notes out of it.
