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.

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Phrygian Dominant feels bright inside a dark frame, with a strong exotic pull and is useful for metal leads, flamenco-inspired riffs and dominant vamp writing.

Lefty Translation

Keep the chart for left-handed navigation and the tab for exact sequencing when a phrase gets rhythmically dense.

Practice Cue

Feature the jump from b2 to 3 early so the mode reveals itself instantly

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.
