DADGAD left-handed scale chart
A# Minor Pentatonic Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Minor Pentatonic scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in DADGAD.
A# Minor Pentatonic in DADGAD tuning gives you the notes A#, C#, D#, F, G# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. DADGAD encourages drones and modal movement, which makes mirrored left-handed charts especially useful because familiar standard shapes stop behaving normally. The mirrored chart makes box one feel natural to a left-handed eye, which matters because this is often the first scale lefty players learn.

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 Pentatonic feels direct, punchy and riff-friendly and is useful for blues-rock solos, familiar lead guitar and stubborn riff writing.
When a right-handed teacher says start on the sixth string, go to the far-right string in this chart and keep the tab as your note-order reference.
Anchor the root and b7, then bring in bends around the b3 for feel instead of speed alone
DADGAD feels open, droning and harmonically spacious. It rewards left-handed players who want ringing accompaniment and modal colours.
