Double Drop D left-handed chord chart
Badd9 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart
Add9 chord voicings, mirrored lefty grip charts and standard tab references in Double Drop D.
Badd9 uses the notes B, C#, D#, F# 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 mirrored chart helps left-handed players see where the extra colour note lives relative to the root on their own neck orientation.
