Open C left-handed scale chart
D Phrygian Dominant Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Phrygian Dominant scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open C.
D Phrygian Dominant in Open C tuning gives you the notes D, D#, F#, G, A, A#, C across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open C gives the guitar a large low register and a broad major framework, which is ideal for cinematic left-handed accompaniment and layered rhythm parts. The mirrored layout makes the signature b2-to-3 shape much easier to understand if you are copying from right-handed lesson content.
