Open G 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 G.
D Phrygian Dominant in Open G tuning gives you the notes D, D#, F#, G, A, A#, C 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 layout makes the signature b2-to-3 shape much easier to understand if you are copying from right-handed lesson content.

Charts are mirrored for left-handed players. Standard tablature below stays unchanged because tab does not flip with handedness.
