Double Drop D left-handed chord chart

Asus4 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

Sus4 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Double Drop D.

Asus4 uses the notes A, D, E and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Double Drop D creates matching outer-string anchors, which is useful for fingerstyle and droning lines that left-handed players often have to translate from right-handed examples. The left-handed chart keeps the suspension movement readable without needing to mentally mirror every finger in a right-handed diagram.

Context

How To Use This Page

Grip Cue

Release into the major or minor target shape slowly until the left hand can switch without twisting

Tuning Context
