Open E left-handed scale chart
G# Blues Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Blues scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open E.
G# Blues in Open E tuning gives you the notes G#, B, C#, D, 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. Because the b5 often gets hit with attitude rather than precision, use the mirrored layout to keep the visual target honest before adding aggressive articulation.

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
Blues feels gritty, tense and expressive and is useful for turnarounds, greasy phrasing and blues-rock solo work.
The blue note still sits in the same fret relationship shown in standard tab, even though the fretboard chart is mirrored for left-handed reading.
Treat the b5 as a passing colour and resolve it deliberately
Open E feels bright, ringing and slide-ready. It makes bright rhythm guitar and open slide vocabulary feel immediate.
