Open E left-handed chord chart

Bmaj7 Left-Handed Guitar Chord Chart

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

Bmaj7 uses the notes B, D#, F#, A# and is shown here as a mirrored left-handed chord chart. Open E is big, direct and highly resonant, which suits left-handed players who want open-string power without losing a major tonal centre. 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 E feels bright, ringing and slide-ready. It makes bright rhythm guitar and open slide vocabulary feel immediate.
