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 0-4 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 0-4 view. That window gives you a manageable note map without implying that it is a conventional numbered scale box.
- Hear The Color: Hear C and D# together so the exotic dominant colour does not flatten into something generic.
- 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.
- Whole Step Down Watchpoint: Watch intonation and muting because the looser string feel can exaggerate small fretting-hand inaccuracies. It gives familiar fingering a deeper voice without changing interval relationships.
