What is true of it
B Phrygian is B, C, D, E, F♯, G and A, and back to B.
Its steps are H – W – W – W – H – W – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.
On the same tonic, B natural minor differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 48 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
