Half Step Down left-handed chord chart
Amaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Half Step Down.
Amaj7 uses the notes A, C#, E, G# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Half step down preserves standard geometry while lowering the overall pitch, which makes it a comfortable next step for left-handed players adapting shapes from common lesson material. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.
