Open D left-handed chord chart

A#add9 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Add9 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Open D.

A#add9 uses the notes A#, C, D, F 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 chart helps left-handed players see where the extra colour note lives relative to the root on their own neck orientation.
