    E harmonic minor from the notes, can't tell you the mode name though

    Please refer to my mode sheet, the answer lies within.

    And Mike's right it's a mode of harmonic minor. http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab217/Vizzage/MusicalmodesbyViz5_zps61fb894b.jpg

    I would refer to the sheet of wonder. But I really can't be bothered.

    Phrygian Dominant, of course! Had a mental block, don't know why. The answer occurred to me just now in the middle of my breakfast. Thanks Viz and Mike, 'tis indeed the 5th mode of E harmonic minor
