E Harmonic Minor Scale notes: E F# G A B C D#. Formula: 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7. Chords in this scale: Em, F#dim, Gaug, Am, B, C, D#dim.
Harmonic minor is natural minor with a raised seventh: 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7. The wide step between b6 and 7 gives it a dramatic, classical, slightly exotic sound. It exists to give a minor key a major V chord (E7 in A minor), and neoclassical players like Yngwie Malmsteen and Ritchie Blackmore lean on it heavily.
