C Standard left-handed scale chart

C# Lydian Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

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

C# Lydian in C Standard tuning gives you the notes C#, D#, F, G, G#, A#, C 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 map to lock the #4 into your visual memory, especially if your default instinct is to reach for a standard major shape from right-handed material.

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

Lydian feels bright, suspended and floating and is useful for soundtrack textures, dreamy leads and wide-interval melodies.

Lefty Translation

The chart mirrors the neck, but the interval formula and tab stay identical to standard notation, so you can compare lessons without confusion.

Practice Cue

Feature the #4 early so the mode sounds Lydian rather than plain major

Tuning Context

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