Open G left-handed chord chart
A Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Major chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open G.
A uses the notes A, C#, E and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open G stacks a major chord under the strings, which turns left-handed rhythm and slide ideas into a much more visual game than in standard tuning. The chart is mirrored for a true left-handed guitar, which makes open-shape translation much faster than reading standard right-handed boxes.

Chord boxes are mirrored for left-handed guitar. Tab and low-to-high shape notation remain standard so common lessons still translate.
