B Minor in Open C tuning uses B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A. The highlighted notes show B, the tonic. Start with the displayed fret range and practise a short phrase that returns to B.
Left-handed scale chart
What you are playing
Scale notes: B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A. Standard tablature stays unchanged, so you can use the same note order as any mainstream lesson or transcription.
The diagram labels use sharp note names. Equivalent names such as D# and Eb identify the same fret; a theory book may use the flat spelling for the same pitch.
Practise it for ten minutes
Play Frets 2-6 slowly up and down. Say the root note B each time it appears, then repeat the pattern with a steady pulse.
- Start Here: Start with the frets 2-6 view. That window gives you a manageable note map without implying that it is a conventional numbered scale box.
- Hear The Color: Make D and G audible so the page keeps its natural minor colour instead of drifting back into generic minor pentatonic.
- Chart Check: Read the string labels before playing. High strings run across the top of these horizontal scale charts, low strings across the bottom, and the nut is on the right.
- Open C Watchpoint: Watch the open bass strings on the bottom of the scale chart because they define the tuning identity quickly. It adds width without sacrificing melodic clarity completely.
