What is true of it
G Locrian is G, A♭, B♭, C, D♭, E♭ and F, and back to G.
Its steps are H – W – W – H – W – W – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.
On the same tonic, G Phrygian differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the guitar its notes fall in 43 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
