Double Drop D left-handed chord chart
A Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Major chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Double Drop D.
A uses the notes A, C#, E and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Double Drop D creates matching outer-string anchors, which is useful for fingerstyle and droning lines that left-handed players often have to translate from right-handed examples. The chart is mirrored for a true left-handed guitar, which makes open-shape translation much faster than reading standard right-handed boxes.
