E Harmonic Minor scale on the guitar fretboard

The E Harmonic Minor scale is made of E (the root), F# (major second), G (minor third), A (perfect fourth), B (perfect fifth), C (minor sixth) and D# (major seventh). The fretboard shows every one of them across the neck in standard tuning (E A D G B E), and plays them back so you can hear the scale.

The harmonic minor scale is the natural minor with a raised seventh, which leaves a gap of three semitones between the sixth and seventh degrees. That gap is easy to spot on the neck as a wider step. It sits between the natural minor and the melodic minor scale.
