Open E left-handed scale chart
A# Phrygian Dominant Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Phrygian Dominant scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open E.
A# Phrygian Dominant in Open E tuning gives you the notes A#, B, D, 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. The mirrored layout makes the signature b2-to-3 shape much easier to understand if you are copying from right-handed lesson content.
