Can Phrygian be minor?
Even though the phrygian scale is a mode of the major scale, it's actually a type of minor scale. This is because the 3rd note is an interval of a minor 3rd above the tonic. As well as the minor 3rd it also has a minor 6th, 7th and a minor 2nd (the only other mode to have a flattened 2nd is the locrian mode).
