Open C left-handed scale chart

C Phrygian Dominant Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Phrygian Dominant scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open C.

C Phrygian Dominant in Open C tuning gives you the notes C, C#, E, F, G, G#, A# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open C gives the guitar a large low register and a broad major framework, which is ideal for cinematic left-handed accompaniment and layered rhythm parts. The mirrored layout makes the signature b2-to-3 shape much easier to understand if you are copying from right-handed lesson content.

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Phrygian Dominant feels bright inside a dark frame, with a strong exotic pull and is useful for metal leads, flamenco-inspired riffs and dominant vamp writing.

Lefty Translation

Keep the chart for left-handed navigation and the tab for exact sequencing when a phrase gets rhythmically dense.

Practice Cue

Feature the jump from b2 to 3 early so the mode reveals itself instantly

Tuning Context

Open C feels huge, modern and harmonically rich. It adds width without sacrificing melodic clarity completely.
