DADGAD left-handed scale chart
C# Lydian Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Lydian scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in DADGAD.
C# Lydian in DADGAD tuning gives you the notes C#, D#, F, G, G#, A#, C 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. 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
Lydian feels bright, suspended and floating and is useful for soundtrack textures, dreamy leads and wide-interval melodies.
The chart mirrors the neck, but the interval formula and tab stay identical to standard notation, so you can compare lessons without confusion.
Feature the #4 early so the mode sounds Lydian rather than plain major
DADGAD feels open, droning and harmonically spacious. It rewards left-handed players who want ringing accompaniment and modal colours.
