Open E 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 E.
G Minor Pentatonic in Open E tuning gives you the notes G, A#, C, D, F across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open E is big, direct and highly resonant, which suits left-handed players who want open-string power without losing a major tonal centre. 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 E feels bright, ringing and slide-ready. It makes bright rhythm guitar and open slide vocabulary feel immediate.
