The natural minor scale (also the descending melodic minor scale) is a mode. The harmonic minor scale is likely the second-most often used base scale for modes (seemingly no discussion of the Phrygian Dominant scale starts without mentioning that it's a mode of the harmonic minor scale). There's likely a jazzer out there who swears the ascending melodic minor scale has modes. But no, the minor collective is just 3 notes shy of being the chromatic scale and it has no modes. | |

Phrygian (or any other mode) does not inherently start on a particular note. Instead it has a particular sequence of whole steps and half steps. | |
