Scale: C flamenco
Description: A name often applied to the Phrygian dominant or Spanish heptatonic family, sometimes with both minor and major 3rds available. It is central to flamenco harmony, where E Phrygian-type modes with G and G♯ alternate over rasgueado guitar chords, and is widely adopted in rock and metal to evoke Spanish and Arabic influences.
