Open E left-handed scale chart
A# Minor Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Minor scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open E.
A# Minor in Open E tuning gives you the notes A#, C, C#, D#, F, F#, G# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open E is big, direct and highly resonant, which suits left-handed players who want open-string power without losing a major tonal centre. Let your picking hand settle into the mirrored note flow first, then train the fretting hand to keep the b3 and b6 in tune during stretches.

Charts are mirrored for left-handed players. Standard tablature below stays unchanged because tab does not flip with handedness.

Context
How To Use This Page
Minor feels dark, weighty and naturally emotive and is useful for rock rhythm work, cinematic melodies and moody lead lines.
The chart is mirrored for left-handed reading, but the tab still reads in the same top-string-to-bottom-string order as every standard transcription.
Make the minor 3rd and minor 6th stand out so the scale sounds fuller than a basic pentatonic box
Open E feels bright, ringing and slide-ready. It makes bright rhythm guitar and open slide vocabulary feel immediate.
