  1. The Phrygian Dominant scale is the 5th mode of the Harmonic Minor scale. So if we’re talking about the second mode of the Phrygian Dominant scale, we're essentially looking at:
  2. 🔹 What is the "Second Mode" of Phrygian Dominant?
  3.  
  4. To find it, we take the Phrygian Dominant scale and build a mode starting from its second degree.
  5.  
  6. Let’s walk through it step-by-step:
  7. Step 1: Define the Phrygian Dominant Scale
  8.  
  9. Phrygian Dominant = 5th mode of Harmonic Minor.
  10.  
  11. Example: E Phrygian Dominant is the 5th mode of A Harmonic Minor.
  12.  
  13. E Phrygian Dominant:
  14. E - F - G♯ - A - B - C - D - E
  15. Step 2: Build the Second Mode (starting from F)
  16.  
  17. Start from the second note (F) of that scale:
  18.  
  19. F - G♯ - A - B - C - D - E
  20.  
  21. Let’s analyze the intervals:
  22.  
  23. F → G♯ = major 2nd (♯2)
  24.  
  25. G♯ → A = minor 2nd (♭3)
  26.  
  27. A → B = major 2nd (4)
  28.  
  29. B → C = minor 2nd (♭5)
  30.  
  31. C → D = major 2nd (♭6)
  32.  
  33. D → E = major 2nd (♭7)
  34.  
  35. E → F = minor 2nd (1)
  36.  
  37. So the scale formula from F becomes:
  38.  
  39. 1 - ♯2 - ♭3 - ♮4 - ♭5 - ♭6 - ♭7
  40. 🔹 Name of this Mode
  41.  
  42. This mode doesn't have a widely used traditional name (like Dorian, Mixolydian, etc.), but it's sometimes referred to in jazz/metal/fusion contexts as:
  43.  
  44. Ultralocrian ♯2
  45.  
  46. Or Superlocrian ♯2
  47.  
  48. Or simply Mode 6 of Harmonic Minor (because it matches the 6th mode of Harmonic Minor)
  49.  
  50. It’s a highly dissonant, exotic-sounding scale, sometimes used over altered dominant chords or diminished contexts.
  51. Summary:
  52.  
  53. The second mode of Phrygian Dominant is:
  54.  
  55. 1 - ♯2 - ♭3 - ♮4 - ♭5 - ♭6 - ♭7
  56.  
  57. It corresponds to the 6th mode of the Harmonic Minor scale
  58.  
  59. It’s sometimes called Ultralocrian ♯2 or Superlocrian ♯2
  60.  
  61. Let me know if you want fingerings, applications, or examples!
