Open G left-handed scale chart

C# Whole Tone Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Whole Tone scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open G.

C# Whole Tone in Open G tuning gives you the notes C#, D#, F, G, A, B across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open G stacks a major chord under the strings, which turns left-handed rhythm and slide ideas into a much more visual game than in standard tuning. The mirrored map is useful here because the pattern repeats so evenly that left-handed players can lose their place when using right-handed diagrams.

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

Whole Tone feels dreamy, ambiguous and slippery and is useful for outside runs, impressionistic colour and tension before resolution.

Lefty Translation

Even in a symmetrical scale, the tab remains the stable reference layer while the chart mirrors the left-handed neck.

Practice Cue

Use short bursts and clear exits because the symmetry removes a strong tonal centre

Tuning Context

Open G feels rootsy, slide-friendly and chord-rich. It makes partial chords, droning harmonies and slide-friendly shapes easier to hear quickly.
