Open D left-handed chord chart

Amaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Major 7 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open D.

Amaj7 uses the notes A, C#, E, G# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open D spreads a big major sonority across the guitar, which makes both scale mapping and chord design feel more spacious. Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

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

Context

How To Use This Page

Overview

Major 7 feels lush, polished and sophisticated and works for neo-soul, jazz-pop, chord melody and atmospheric harmony.

Lefty Translation

Mirrored diagrams matter here because the inner-string note placement is easy to misread when you are learning from right-handed chord books.

Grip Cue

Let notes ring but do not squeeze; these voicings sound better with even pressure than brute force

Tuning Context

Open D feels wide, resonant and strong for open voicings. It helps left-handed players connect scale notes to ringing chord fragments.
