E |-------------------------------|----------8-10-12-----------------|
B |-------------------------------|-9-10-12--------------------------|
G |------------------------7-9-10|-----------------------------------|
D |---------------6-7-9-10-------|-----------------------------------|
A |--------5-7-8------------------|-----------------------------------|
E |--5-7-8------------------------|-----------------------------------|

That's A harmonic minor. You get the harmonic minor by raising the seventh note of the minor scale by ½ a step (1 fret). Now apply the formula to any key. Do some research on the net, there's tons of info on the harmonic minor scale

PS: The tab line is messed up, but you should be able to get the idea...

I think that D# on the high E string should be just a normal D. Lower it from 11 to 10, and you've got it.

[font=trebuchet ms]I assume the [/font]&th[font=trebuchet ms] is a typo for 7th, but does the P mean the note is sharpened (#)? If that's the case, aren't #5th & b6th the same note? :confused: (Obviously I play by ear). :) [/font]

P stands for perfect. Intervals of 4ths, 5ths, & octaves are reffered to as perfrct because they do not have a maj or min tonality.
