Open D left-handed chord chart
Am Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Minor chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open D.
Am uses the notes A, C, E 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. The mirrored box helps left-handed players see the minor third where it actually lives on their instrument instead of mentally flipping a right-handed chart.

Context
How To Use This Page
Minor feels dark, direct and emotional and works for minor progressions, riff writing and moodier accompaniment.
The mirrored box helps left-handed players see the minor third where it actually lives on their instrument instead of mentally flipping a right-handed chart.
Watch the non-dominant fretting hand for collapsing finger angles, especially when the b3 sits under a stretch
Open D feels wide, resonant and strong for open voicings. It helps left-handed players connect scale notes to ringing chord fragments.
