DADGAD left-handed scale chart
Learn B Minor in DADGAD with a mirrored left-handed chart, then turn one fret range into a short repeatable practice loop.
B Minor in DADGAD tuning gives you the notes B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A 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. 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
Minor feels dark, weighty and naturally emotive and is useful for rock rhythm work, cinematic melodies and moody lead lines.
Choose Frets 0-4, play slowly up and down, and say the root note B each time it appears. Repeat the same range with a steady pulse, then use one matching chord to hear the scale in context.
Start with the frets 0-4 view. That window gives you a manageable note map without implying that it is a conventional numbered scale box.
Make D and G audible so the page keeps its natural minor colour instead of drifting back into generic minor pentatonic.
Use this scale over Bm, Em and F#m in the same tuning if you want the page to turn into a real musical drill instead of isolated note memorization.
DADGAD feels open, droning and harmonically spacious. It rewards left-handed players who want ringing accompaniment and modal colours.
Next Step
These chord pages use the same tuning and key centre so you can move straight from a scale chart into left-handed rhythm work.

Make D and G audible so the page keeps its natural minor colour instead of drifting back into generic minor pentatonic.
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.
Watch open-string drones carefully, because the chart orientation changes but the tab still reads in standard order. It rewards left-handed players who want ringing accompaniment and modal colours.
Use this scale over Bm, Em and F#m in the same tuning if you want the page to turn into a real musical drill instead of isolated note memorization.
Make the minor 3rd and minor 6th stand out so the scale sounds fuller than a basic pentatonic box
