C Standard left-handed scale chart

C# Phrygian Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

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

C# Phrygian in C Standard tuning gives you the notes C#, D, E, F#, G#, A, B 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. Left-handed players often over-read shapes and under-hear tension notes, so use the mirrored chart to locate the b2 and then sing it against the root.

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

Phrygian feels dark, compressed and exotic and is useful for metal riffs, Spanish flavours and tense pedal-point writing.

Lefty Translation

Mainstream right-handed diagrams often hide the real character note in an awkward corner; the mirrored version on this page keeps that translation direct.

Practice Cue

Keep returning to the b2 against the root so the mode identity stays strong

Tuning Context

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