Double Drop D left-handed scale chart

F# Phrygian Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Phrygian scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Double Drop D.

F# Phrygian in Double Drop D tuning gives you the notes F#, G, A, B, C#, D, E across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Double Drop D creates matching outer-string anchors, which is useful for fingerstyle and droning lines that left-handed players often have to translate from right-handed examples. Left-handed players often over-read shapes and under-hear tension notes, so use the mirrored chart to locate the b2 and then sing it against the root.

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

Phrygian feels dark, compressed and exotic and is useful for metal riffs, Spanish flavours and tense pedal-point writing.

Lefty Translation

Mainstream right-handed diagrams often hide the real character note in an awkward corner; the mirrored version on this page keeps that translation direct.

Practice Cue

Keep returning to the b2 against the root so the mode identity stays strong

Tuning Context

Double Drop D feels symmetrical on the outside strings and strong for drones. It opens up mirrored shapes at the top and bottom of the fretboard.
