Open D left-handed scale chart

G# Minor Pentatonic Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Minor Pentatonic scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Open D.

G# Minor Pentatonic in Open D tuning gives you the notes G#, B, C#, D#, F# across a mirrored left-handed fretboard. Open D spreads a big major sonority across the guitar, which makes both scale mapping and chord design feel more spacious. 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

Open D feels wide, resonant and strong for open voicings. It helps left-handed players connect scale notes to ringing chord fragments.
