Is this a real scale?

[PassIt]

I was fooling around on my guitar the other day and I kinda of found this weird scale. I dunno if its real or not but it sure sounds awesome! It has an egyptian vibe to it. It looks like this when tabbed out:
e:--------------------------------------------12-16-17-------------------
b:-------------------------------------12-15------------------------------
g:------------------------------13-14-------------------------------------
d:--------------------12-14-15-------------------------------------------
a:----------12-14-15-----------------------------------------------------
e:-12-13-16--------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for writing it in tab, some of you may think tabs are unholy, its just i coudltn think of any other way lol

God bless the Scale Calculator at JGuitar.com. You left out a couple of notes, but what you have there is E Phrygian Dominant at the 12th fret. Might turn out to be a couple of other scales, too, working from a different root, but this one matches up. The repeating note sequence is:

E-F-G#-A-B-C-D​

You left out the second occurrence of C (B string, fret 13) and the third F (high E string, 13th fret).

All hail the TAB! TAB and internet access have sure changed the way I approach learning to tame this beast. Now if I just had time to practice and apply all the knowlege that's out there.....

Cool scale, and cool site (JGuitar.com). Man, I love this place!

It is also the A Harmonic Minor scale, played from the 12th fret. This scale has the same notes as E Phrygian Dominant (select both on the JGuitar Scale Calculator, and you'll see what I mean), which is considered to be "the fifth mode of the minor harmonic scale, the fifth being the dominant" (Wikipedia).

Man, the web sure is cool!!
