Drop C left-handed scale chart

G# Minor Pentatonic Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Minor Pentatonic scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Drop C.

G# Minor Pentatonic in Drop C tuning gives you the notes G#, B, C#, D#, F# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Drop C changes the whole guitar feel and emphasises the bass side, which is exactly where left-handed players usually need better visual references than mainstream sites provide. 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

Overview

Minor Pentatonic feels direct, punchy and riff-friendly and is useful for blues-rock solos, familiar lead guitar and stubborn riff writing.

Lefty Translation

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.

Practice Cue

Anchor the root and b7, then bring in bends around the b3 for feel instead of speed alone

Tuning Context

Drop C feels dense, aggressive and built for modern heavy rhythm guitar. It pushes mirrored riff shapes into a heavier, more modern register.
