G♯ blues
G♯1B♭3C♯4D♭5D♯5F♯♭7
Minor pentatonic with one note squeezed in between the fourth and the fifth. It is written as a flattened fifth, so the fifth letter carries both of them and the fourth keeps its own.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are A♭ blues.
Written out
Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.
