Open C left-handed scale chart
G# Lydian Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Lydian scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open C.
G# Lydian in Open C tuning gives you the notes G#, A#, C, D, D#, F, G across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open C gives the guitar a large low register and a broad major framework, which is ideal for cinematic left-handed accompaniment and layered rhythm parts. Use the mirrored map to lock the #4 into your visual memory, especially if your default instinct is to reach for a standard major shape from right-handed material.

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
Lydian feels bright, suspended and floating and is useful for soundtrack textures, dreamy leads and wide-interval melodies.
The chart mirrors the neck, but the interval formula and tab stay identical to standard notation, so you can compare lessons without confusion.
Feature the #4 early so the mode sounds Lydian rather than plain major
Open C feels huge, modern and harmonically rich. It adds width without sacrificing melodic clarity completely.
