Whole Step Down left-handed scale chart
G# Blues Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Blues scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Whole Step Down.
G# Blues in Whole Step Down tuning gives you the notes G#, B, C#, D, D#, F# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Whole step down changes the guitar response enough to affect bends, muting and attack, which is useful for heavier left-handed rhythm playing. 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
Whole Step Down feels lower, wider and more elastic under the fingers. It gives familiar fingering a deeper voice without changing interval relationships.
