I think you're likely looking for the http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=8244 scale.

If you're talking about the Harmonic Minor is just a regular minor scale with the seventh degree raised.

Example in A: A-B-C-D-E-F-G#-A

Do you know natural minor scale?

A natural minor (or A Aeolian mode) = A, B, C, D, E, F, G

A harmonic minor will be when you play G# note instead of normal G (one fret up from G)
A, B, C, D, E, F, G#

is this more understandable ?

edit: here is TAB for A harmonic minor. Can that help?

Better than Emir it can`t be explained, so I add a very useful lesson on this!
