yeah I wrote a song (supposto be E major...) but it ended up being completly diffrent... at cirst i thought it was a C major scale in stead but and Eb threw me off... could you tell me waht scale this is?

the notes in the song, A,B,C,D,D# or Eb, E,G (and not shure if there's an F in there or not...)

You've got a three note chromatic in there (...D,D# or Eb, E...), so there won't be a key that naturally fits those notes.

I'd call it C Major with a passing flattened third.
 
thanks, though it's wasn't really passing... but, I'm playing it again, and changed it up a bit so it's all C major, and It actually sounds better now (I might have been a bit out of tune before....) THANKS both of you! cheers!

No worries. Happy playing (and don't worry about being out of tune - that's what keeps it interesting)
 
Take out the d and put an f# in and you've got an E harmonic minor. Take out the d# and replace with an f# you've got e minor.
 
There was an internet page that would let you enter in any notes you wanted and it would tell you what the scale was called.
 
the easiest explanation frazier already took... yep A blues... with the 2nd added (b) for some flavor try it as a dorian by adding the F# then you've got both the 13 and the b13 (relative to the g ) in the E and Eb...
 
I think you're playing The C-Awesomely-cool Major Diatonic Phrygian Harmonic Minor. I may be wrong of course.

Is it true you can only play that on certain vintage strats?

Yeah, only the ones with a bakelite pick guard sadly. You might get away with it on a '52 Tele, but that HAS to be the butterscotch variety.

Whatever works for you, but I'd ask Beez about that :D
 
What note is your tonic? E or A? It's looking similar to an Aminor with the flatted 5th in it, which if you were using pentatonics, would be a blues scale. It could be a few different things depending on what your root note is.
 
my guess would've been A pentatonic, which has that 3-note chromatic piece in it, with added B, which is standard metallica-sabbath approach. A similar dilemma arose here a while ago.. ;)
