Whole Step Down left-handed scale chart

G# Phrygian Dominant Left-Handed Guitar Scale Chart

Phrygian Dominant scale notes, mirrored lefty fretboard positions and standard tab in Whole Step Down.

G# Phrygian Dominant in Whole Step Down tuning gives you the notes G#, A, C, C#, D#, E, 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. The mirrored layout makes the signature b2-to-3 shape much easier to understand if you are copying from right-handed lesson content.

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Phrygian Dominant feels bright inside a dark frame, with a strong exotic pull and is useful for metal leads, flamenco-inspired riffs and dominant vamp writing.

Lefty Translation

Keep the chart for left-handed navigation and the tab for exact sequencing when a phrase gets rhythmically dense.

Practice Cue

Feature the jump from b2 to 3 early so the mode reveals itself instantly

Tuning Context

Whole Step Down feels lower, wider and more elastic under the fingers. It gives familiar fingering a deeper voice without changing interval relationships.
