Open E left-handed scale chart
G# Major Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart
Major scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open E.
G# Major in Open E tuning gives you the notes G#, A#, C, C#, D#, F, G 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. Use the mirrored chart to keep the bass side on the far right, then compare the unchanged tab underneath when translating mainstream lessons.

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
Major feels bright, open and strongly resolved and is useful for melodic hooks, clean chord melody and pop or country lead guitar.
If a right-handed lesson tells you to shift a major shape up the neck on the low E string, that string sits on the right edge of the chart here.
Land clearly on the 3rd and 7th so the major colour stays obvious
Open E feels bright, ringing and slide-ready. It makes bright rhythm guitar and open slide vocabulary feel immediate.
