@joseph
Technically you can do whatever you want! But if you want to be exact, you should probably play scales and chords that match. In your example, a C minor and C Phrygian both have a minor third, which would be Eb. But to extend your example, you wouldn’t want to play it over a C major chord, because that one has a major third. But once again you could do it anyway if you like how it sounds. Also, a lot of metal songs that use phrygian scales play both the minor and major third. Hopefully that’s not too confusing.

Nice lesson, U should do a 2nd scales lesson, going through all the modes of The Major, Harmonic minor and melodic minor. I guess u’ve got better things to do lately though (:.
