C# Harmonic Minor Scale

The C# harmonic minor scale (also written Db) — C# D# E F# G# A B# — mapped across the whole guitar neck.

Also written Db harmonic minor. Db and C# are the same pitch, though spelling it from Db would need double accidentals (Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bbb C), which is why C# is the name in use.
