=== Phrygian dominant scale === A [[Phrygian dominant scale]] is produced by raising the third scale degree of the mode: :{| style="text-align:center" cellpadding="3em" |+ E Phrygian dominant | Mode: || E || F || G{{music|sharp}} || A || B || C || D || E |- | Major: || 1 || {{music|flat}}2 ||3 || 4 || 5 || {{music|flat}}6 || {{music|flat}}7 || 1 |- | Minor: || 1 || {{music|flat}}2 || {{music|sharp}}3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 1 |} The Phrygian dominant is also known as the '''Spanish [[gypsy scale]]''', because it resembles the scales found in [[flamenco]] and also the [[Berbers|Berber]] rhythms;{{r|Thomas_Academia}} it is the fifth mode of the [[harmonic minor]] scale. Flamenco music uses the Phrygian scale together with a modified scale from the Arab ''[[Arabic maqam|maqām Ḥijāzī]]''{{r|ModalInFlamencoWeb|Grove2001_Flamenco}} (like the Phrygian dominant but with a major sixth scale degree),{{Citation needed|date=March 2020|reason=Katz does not include this description}} and a bimodal configuration using both major and minor second and third scale degrees.{{r|Grove2001_Flamenco}}
