C Major in Standard tuning uses C, D, E, F, G, A, B. The highlighted notes show C, the tonic. Start with the displayed fret range and practise a short phrase that returns to C.
Left-handed scale chart
What you are playing
Scale notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Standard tablature stays unchanged, so you can use the same note order as any mainstream lesson or transcription.
Practise it for ten minutes
Play Frets 0-4 slowly up and down. Say the root note C 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: Keep E and B obvious so the line sounds fully major instead of collapsing into a simpler pentatonic shape.
- 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.
- Standard Watchpoint: If you are moving from right-handed resources, start here first so the mirrored chart is the only variable. It lets you focus on left-handed visual translation without also learning a new tuning layout.
