Open D left-handed scale chart
G Minor Pentatonic Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Minor Pentatonic scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open D.
G Minor Pentatonic in Open D tuning gives you the notes G, A#, C, D, F across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open D spreads a big major sonority across the guitar, which makes both scale mapping and chord design feel more spacious. The mirrored chart makes box one feel natural to a left-handed eye, which matters because this is often the first scale lefty players learn.

Context
How To Use This Page
Minor Pentatonic feels direct, punchy and riff-friendly and is useful for blues-rock solos, familiar lead guitar and stubborn riff writing.
When a right-handed teacher says start on the sixth string, go to the far-right string in this chart and keep the tab as your note-order reference.
Anchor the root and b7, then bring in bends around the b3 for feel instead of speed alone
Open D feels wide, resonant and strong for open voicings. It helps left-handed players connect scale notes to ringing chord fragments.
