Whole Step Down left-handed scale chart
C# Major Pentatonic Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Major Pentatonic scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Whole Step Down.
C# Major Pentatonic in Whole Step Down tuning gives you the notes C#, D#, F, G#, A# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Whole step down changes the guitar response enough to affect bends, muting and attack, which is useful for heavier left-handed rhythm playing. This is a useful bridge between right-handed lesson material and lefty charts because the mirrored box still lines up with familiar tab patterns.

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
Major Pentatonic feels clean, vocal and easy to phrase musically and is useful for country fills, melodic pop guitar and easy-to-hear major hooks.
Use the chart for the visual map and the tab for the exact picking order when you are adapting standard instructional material.
Target the root and 6th for singing phrases instead of running the box blindly
Whole Step Down feels lower, wider and more elastic under the fingers. It gives familiar fingering a deeper voice without changing interval relationships.
