B Major Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Major scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in C Standard.

B Major in C Standard tuning gives you the notes B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. C Standard lowers the whole guitar while keeping interval relationships intact, which is useful for heavy left-handed players who still want logical mirrored charts. Use the mirrored chart to keep the bass side on the far right, then compare the unchanged tab underneath when translating mainstream lessons.

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

Overview

Major feels bright, open and strongly resolved and is useful for melodic hooks, clean chord melody and pop or country lead guitar.

Lefty Translation

If a right-handed lesson tells you to shift a major shape up the neck on the low E string, that string sits on the right edge of the chart here.

Practice Cue

Land clearly on the 3rd and 7th so the major colour stays obvious

Tuning Context

C Standard feels low, thick and heavy without dropping interval logic. It keeps the same shape logic while delivering a heavier voice.

Scale Notes

  • C#
  • D#
  • E

  • G#
