Half Step Down left-handed scale chart
B Whole Tone Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Whole Tone scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Half Step Down.
B Whole Tone in Half Step Down tuning gives you the notes B, C#, D#, F, G, A across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Half step down preserves standard geometry while lowering the overall pitch, which makes it a comfortable next step for left-handed players adapting shapes from common lesson material. The mirrored map is useful here because the pattern repeats so evenly that left-handed players can lose their place when using right-handed diagrams.

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
Whole Tone feels dreamy, ambiguous and slippery and is useful for outside runs, impressionistic colour and tension before resolution.
Even in a symmetrical scale, the tab remains the stable reference layer while the chart mirrors the left-handed neck.
Use short bursts and clear exits because the symmetry removes a strong tonal centre
Half Step Down feels familiar but slightly darker and looser. It keeps your lefty chart recognition intact while changing the feel under both hands.
