Standard left-handed scale chart
C Whole Tone Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Whole Tone scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Standard.
C Whole Tone in Standard tuning gives you the notes C, D, E, F#, G#, A# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Standard tuning keeps the usual string relationships intact, so it is the easiest place to compare left-handed charts with mainstream tab and lesson content. 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
Whole Tone feels dreamy, ambiguous and slippery and is useful for outside runs, impressionistic colour and tension before resolution.
Even in a symmetrical scale, the tab remains the stable reference layer while the chart mirrors the left-handed neck.
Use short bursts and clear exits because the symmetry removes a strong tonal centre
Standard feels balanced, familiar and easy to compare with lesson material. It lets you focus on left-handed visual translation without also learning a new tuning layout.
